Today I think we found our walking path. If I can I'm going to walk it with her every day. It took us about an hour and a half today and today I was lucky enough to have a sleepin' baby for the entire trip. Not only do I enjoy getting out of the house with her going somewhere besides the grocery store or doctor's appointments but it's a good way to get back into exercising so that I can work at losing all 51 of these baby pounds. It's not my biggest concern right now because I need to focus on breast feeding and Lily's weight gain. That puts my weight loss on the back burner.
Today after we returned from our walk we joined Grandma on the back porch to enjoy the weather before the rain started. We've enjoyed the recent developments in Lily's faces lately too. She's got some recognizable poo faces that are just friggin' adorable. During one of these poo faces I got to experience another of the great rites of passage into motherhood. She pooed all over me. Filled her diaper and it ran out the sides, down her leg, and all over Mommy. We undressed her outside, wiped off as much as we could and took her to the bath immediately where we also found that she hates being in the tub alone. Since the traumatic experience with the sink bath she's been taking baths with Mommy and she loves it. I'm sure it feels similar to the womb and is comforting to be submerged in warm water with Mommy right there with her. I've thoroughly enjoyed taking baths with her too.
Due to these baths my 5 stitches from my tearing have dissolved and I'm back to normal now. Post partem bleeding has also stopped. I had imagined it would have lasted another week or two but I'm glad its over.
All in all we're both doing wonderfully. We'll be planning another trip to Warrensburg next weekend and this time we'll be seeing anybody and everybody. :)
