What? It's only been 5 months!

Yeah, it's been 5 months.  But I'm back!  In the last two weeks, there have been numerous times where I thought to myself, "I should blog about that" but now that I'm actually blogging, I'm sure I'll remember none of them!  But here's a quick 5 months in review...

Kwesi is now 8.5 months old! He has 2 teeth and is crawling and pulling himself up to stand anywhere that he can.  He is trying to stick his fingers in outlets, trying to pull cords out of the wall, and playing with everything in the house except his toys.  All in all, he is absolutely delightful... he brings more joy than my life than I knew was possible.  What's that you say?  When am I having another one?  Don't hold your breath!  It's funny to me that towards the end of my pregnancy before Kwesi was even born and then the first 3 months of his life when I was completely sleep deprived, fat, and exhausted, the first question people asked me was, "When are you going to have another one?"  I mean come on people! This one just got here!! To summarize, one is enough for me.

Physically, I'm about 13 pounds lighter than I was before I got pregnant with Kwesi so things are going well.  I lost my pregnancy weight fairly quick but my body doesn't look the same at all... well, I shouldn't say my body as much as my stomach.  So, I've been working with an online trainer who is absolutely amazing (Katie Wilson/X Training, www.trainwithx.com) and now the inches are coming off and not just the weight.  I'm much stronger than I thought I was and I hope to have some progress pictures up soon - maybe July?? We'll see!

That's all for now but I'll be back! Here's a picture of Kwesi at 4 months...
