30 Day Shred - Days 9-11

Still shredding... I did level 2 on days 9-11 and today will be Day 12. I actually really like level 2 - maybe more than level 1. I'm not sure how many days I'll do level 2 before moving up to 3, but I'm definitely going to wait until after my 6 week post-partum checkup which is this Thursday. I've been trying to keep the workouts as low impact as possible until I get the official clear from my OB, but I think everything is fine. I'll probably start level 3 some time next weekend, though. I'm proud of myself for doing this 11 days straight so far... it's hard to even get in a 20 minute workout with a newborn, but it's important to me so I'm making it work. I can definitely tell that my arms look toned and lean because of this workout. My abs feel good, too, but of course still have a lot of work to be done after pregnancy and childbirth. Still, I'm sticking with it and going to do the full 30 days to see how I feel and look after that.

Not too much is new other than that. Brady is growing fast but the days are still pretty much the same... eating (a lot), sleeping (some), crying (depends on the day), and looking around. We've been doing story time with him and tummy time, too. He likes those some days and others he does not. He does really like his bath time, now, though. Once we started putting him in the infant tub rather than sponge bathing him he totally loves it! It's so cute. MrKLB and I bathe him together every night before his last feeding and it's just a great time with him because he looks so happy. He is rewarding us by sleeping for very long stretches at night. The past few nights he has been in bed by 11 and not woken up until 5 or 5:30! Awesome.

I think I have some photos I need to upload so hopefully I'll get to that soon!
