Here is me at 15 weeks:

I was 15 weeks here

Yes, fifteen weeks and not really showing, just “puffy”.

Now, I am three weeks post partum here.

Three weeks postpartum!

Not bad from looking like this 4 weeks earlier!

Almost 40 weeks here.

Now that Piper is here, I walk every day (it puts her to sleep), sometimes even home from work, for more than an hour. Not only that, but I walk her during the day at lunch- but it’s in the Bjorn, which is harder and really strengthens my core because I have to keep my back straight.

I exclusively breast-feed and eat well, a less than before (I can’t help that part, really). Since I started breastfeeding, I’ve been incessantly thirsty, so I often had a jug of ice cold water nearby. Before getting pregnant I was an iced tea fiend, and now that what I eat still affects her, I stopped drinking it (same for the rare soda).

I feel really good about myself. My abs are stronger, my legs are stronger, and I am now at least 30 pounds less than my pre-pregnancy weight. Not too bad, eh?
