Exercise

March 29th, 2009 · 8 Comments · Farm Things

I played sports in high school – line drills, laps, relentless drills… all of it.

I’ve done aerobics, taken kickboxing lessons

Step class, pilates

Yoga, … a little weightlifting

But Lordamercy,  none of it – NONE of it – compares to pushing a chubby 9 month old in a stroller while 6 months pregnant. I must have burned a million calories because in addition to being tired and sweaty, I ate like a horse when I got home. At least I didn’t try it on the farm’s dirt path – I stuck to the nice, smooth road. Maybe after the baby is born I can wear him in a sling and push the stroller too – and try – TRY- not to eat the contents of the Frigidaire when I get back home.

    Those growing babies just soak up all the energy left! Good thing God gives mommies extra! :) Beautiful photos! Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes well!

    Love your pictures!
    Good luck with the exercise thing. Hopefully, with the little ones to care for, you’ll find time to take those walks.

    Well, with one already growing in the front, if’n you’d put the little one in a backpack carrier, you’d have balanced things out perfectly! :)

    Then, about six months after this one is born, you can get pregnant again and do it all over again! :)

    By the way, that top picture is great.

    You will need tandem stroller when that new one gets here. It will save your back and be a life saver everywhere. I use to do my grocery shopping with two kids in a tandem stroller and groceries in the basket beneath.

    The pictures, as always, were hevenly!

    I know what you mean, pulling a almost 30 lb 13 month old in a 26 lb wagon is a bit of a work out for this old fat pregnant woman too !

    When are you do , I forget .

    I’m due July 2nd – time is flying by! I feel like I haven’t accomplished anything for the new baby yet.
