"Getting strong enough to keep two tiny humans from unaliving themselves."
Well now, isn't this nice!! I came back expecting to look at my check in thread and wimper a little at the length of time it's been, and instead there's a gorgeous new forum to play on.

It's like opening a brand new journal! All the possibilities!

But for a smack of reality to me, I must admit that Square one is very much on hold at the moment, so on hold that I will likely restart it when I'm next able to do anything more than walking. The joys of growing a tiny human parasite.

He's doing well, likely to be a gymnast or swimmer if his vast array of movements display. I would prefer he didn't beat up my liver so much.

The flood of relaxin has started, and while that will be lovely in a couple of months, at the moment it means that my already hyperflexible body (thanks to Celiac Disease) is having a little difficulty holding my joints as they should be. This results mainly in sore back atm as my ribs like trying to rearrange themselves.

So I have been advised to stick with walking, and whatever motions taking care of Ze Munchie requires, and to limit extra exercizing.

Since Ze Peanut is due mid December, my hope is that he will arrive early enough that I can recoup and join the (likely) Advent/Ornament challenge and get my name on the tree again.

Thanks everyone! Had a good birthday and baby Boy is growing as he should. The doctor is starting to get slightly concerned about the fact that I'm not gaining weight as expected (especially since I have Celiac Disease), but it's not at the point of big worries yet so long as I'm able to eat and keep the food down.

I guess that I'm just eating healthier enough that baby and I getting rid of some of the extra weight I had on, we'll see once he gets here and it's just my weight to consider.

Well I’m feeling better. I adore my children but pregnancy is totally not my thing.

Which is to say, Little Man joined us in quite a whirlwind on December 14, 7 lbs 11 oz, 19” long. He’s in perfect health, and now I’m on my way back to it.

It’s uncanny how much he looks like his sister. Which means he looks just like Daddy. Munchie has accepted him wholeheartedly into the flock.

Now, as we enter the season of staying inside, it’s time to slowly come back to Darebee and get those wonderful endorphins flowing to combat the winter blues. Time to take a full tour of the new site!

All right!!!! Finally passed the 6 week appointment and have been given the go ahead to get back to exercizing. Unfortunately, like many post partum women I have some pelvic issues that need to be focused on and means I really have to ease back into things. Physiotherapy will help with what I can't do on my own, and I've been directed to focus on core and glutes.

In that vein, I completed the Choosing to be Exceptional workout on Level 1. This will likely be my main focus workout for the next month, hopefully building up how many sets I can do.

So glad to be back!
