Getting my ASS back in shape...

So 3 months ago yesterday I had my first child, Kaden, cutest baby ever(I am partial though since he's mine).  I was due on February 20th but had him the 25th, with lots of help.  You see he was 10lbs and 5oz and he did not want to come out.  Maybe he knew he wouldn't fit so he decided to make himself comfy(on a nerve no less) and wait to see what we would do.

During my whole pregnancy there was never any indication that he was that big.  My stomach always measured dead on with the week I was, I didn't have gestational diabetes, and I ate pretty healthy.  I wore my regular jeans up to about 8 1/2 months, and only gained 30-35lbs, average from where my starting weight was.  My boyfriends other 2 kids were 7 and 8lbs, both he and I where average 7lb babies so needless to say 10.5 was a surprise.



When the day finally came to have my baby boy, I was in labor for 12hrs, pushed for 3, and ended up having a c-section.  Damn kids head was just too big to come out.  So because of my unexpected c-section recovery has taken a little longer than I thought.  I was back down to my starting weight 2weeks after he was born, but hell he was 1/3 of it, water another 1/3 so I really only had 10lbs to loose.  My weight(fat) is proportioned differently though and my stomach muscles are weak as hell.  

So here is where my journey(ASS back in shape) begins...slowly at first.  I found my Zumba DVD and did parts of it this morning, jumping still hurts, but at least I can build my abs without laying on the ground doing sit-ups.  When weather permits, I take my dog on walks in the neighborhood so that's a plus.  I get my arm workout from my child(he's mistaken for a 4-5month old all the time) so building plenty of muscle there.  I know I won't be bikini ready for summer, cause its already here, but I would like to be in better shape by the end of summer.  Ill keep you all posted of how this goes but in the end it was all worth it!!
