So Long 28...

Yesterday was my 6-week post-partum check-up...(wow...I just used a lot of hyphens!) And, everything looks good... I'm happy to report that I'm almost back to my pre-pregnancy weight already...(what a blessing!) And, now that I've been cleared to start exercising again, hopefully that last little bit will disappear soon! With the go-ahead from the doctor, everything should start returning to normal soon...(although, these days...especially with all the changes going on...I'm not exactly sure how to define "normal"...I guess just: "somewhat like it was pre-baby"...) So, yeah...I'd like to be more mobile now...I'd like to set up a work-out schedule of some type...I'd like to be able to bring heavy sacks of groceries in the house by myself...those kinds of things... Of course, I'll have to start out slowly and gradually work myself up to that...but it's definitely something to look forward to...

What else...?

Well, we found out yesterday that our shipment from Baltimore made it here! I called today and went through the usual military hassle and got our delivery date set up for next Thursday, the 13th... So, we'll finally have our "stuff" after not seeing it in over a year... We can't wait! It'll be a lot of work to get everything unpacked and settled in, but it'll be so nice once it's all finished...

What else...?

Today, I turned 29 years old! Yep, "happy birthday to me!" Mom took me out to a late breakfast at IHOP, and then we did a little shopping around the Forum... Being out with a six-week old kind of causes the day to go a bit slower...(since Kassia eats every one and a half to two hours)...but it was nice nonetheless...(and, I sure appreciated Mom's patience...) The cold, rainy, windy weather was just to my liking as well...and made for great napping weather later in the afternoon... Scott brought me "sunshine" (as he sweetly called it) in the form of some very pretty yellow flowers and a card...as a surprise when he came home from work this evening... And, I think the plan is to just "veg" in front of the TV with a yummy bowl of ice cream for the rest of the night...

(Yep, a huge, extremely deliciously fatty bowl of ice cream way late in the evening... Right...so I guess that exercise plan I was talking about at the beginning of this blog will just have to be postponed a little...)

Alrighty... Well, we'll see how 29 really feels tomorrow...
