This blog is going back to being my running/exercise journal!

Newborn photos and our Christmas card

Once Caleb was out of the NICU, I called the photographer and got his newborn photo session scheduled. We had his photos taken when he was 16 days old. Here are a few of my favorites, as well as our 2012 Christmas card.

Couch to 5k

I know that it's typical to wait until six weeks postpartum to return to exercising, but I was a little antsy at about three weeks. I knew that if I started back that early, I would have to take it really easy. I decided that the Couch to 5k program would be a good place to start. I love having a plan to follow and a goal to work toward. I did the program a few years ago, and I loved it. I recommend it to people all the time, because I think it's a great place for anyone to begin. http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

I started the plan on November 19th (3 weeks, 3 days postpartum). The first three weeks went really well, and I started week 4 yesterday. My postpartum check-up is tomorrow, so my fingers are crossed that my doctor clears me to workout! And my fingers are crossed that I haven't messed something up by working out too soon! I feel great, so I'm sure everything's fine.
