10 weeks and P90X

Hey everyone!

So Oliver is 10 weeks this weekend (almost 3 months!) and he is doing great.  Some "milestones" he has reached this week...Well first of all, mine and Dad's favorite, is he is starting to sleep anywhere between 6 to 8 hours in a stretch this week.  It's only been 3 days so I don't want to jump the gun and get too excited, but it's freaking exciting!  Suprisingly though I am more tired than I was when he was sleeping 2-3 hours in a row.  I don't really understand it, but I'm thinking it's just my body readjusting to acutally getting sleep now.  Also, he is starting to rub his eyes when he is sleepy.  He gets really distracted when he is breastfeeding because he is constantly wanting to look around at everything!  It could be lights, the television, dad sitting on the couch, the cats, or the wall.  He does not care he just wants to look at everything (now that he can see it).  He rolled over from his belly to his back once this week, but we are still working on that one. 
One thing I know he gets from Dad is he is such a morning person!  He'll wake up anytime between 7:30 and 8 and be wide awake and all smiles until about 10 or 11 when it's nap time.  As most of you probably know, Mom is not a morning person!  So this is kind of tough for me and I usually take a nap with him :)  He is such a happy baby and is only cranky when he's hungry or tired.  He has sat thru many dinners at restaurants not making a peep and even sat thru Mom getting her hair cut!  Overall, Oliver is doing great and we are enjoying every minute of him.

As for me and Justin...well I bought P90X for Justin for his birthday and he started it and did the first couple of weeks and then just trailed off for many reasons.  One, I think, is just not being able to find a really good time to do it without cutting in to "Oliver time", which Justin does not get as much as I do so it is very precious.  Well I got to the point where I was thinking, "Okay, it's been 10 weeks since I've had this baby and I haven't really exercised in like 2 years"...so I decided I was going to start P90X (Crazy, I know).  Well Justin decided to start over with me so we could hold each other accountable and keep with it for the full 90 days.  (We will see if this happens as occasionally "life" gets in the way, or baby).  Today was Day #1.  Wow!  I am REALLY out of shape.  I know it was supposed to be tough, but seriously!?  Today was Chest & Back, and let's just say my number of reps was a little on the lower side.  I can't do a pull up are you kidding me!?  But I feel great, and hopefully will proceed with Day #2 after Oliver goes to bed tomorrow night.  Wish us luck!  Hot Mama body here we come...t-minus 89 days...

  1. Thanks for the post! It's so great to hear how you guys are doing! We love you all. Give Oliver a kiss for us. Oh & for p90x.... I made that same journey & I couldn't do a pull up at first either. Cut yourself some slack.You did just go through a 9 month pregnancy, plus recovery from actually having him. You are allowed to be out of shape!! Miss you all!!
