Lucy: back in action

It's been a while since I've updated because Lucy has had some time off to get over whatever she did to her knee. The vet went out and looked at her and prescribed some meds to get the swelling down. There was never any heat or lameness so we aren't sure WHAT she did to it, but the good news is that she is back in work! I got to visit her yesterday, and I got to warm her up for Morgan's ride.

I am soooo out of shape. It's really quite sad. I have been going to the gym but I have had a very hard time balancing my weight with my calorie intake without affecting my milk supply, since I am breastfeeding Hannah. So many people have told me not to worry about it for the first year, but I like being trim and in shape! So this is quite frustrating. I have no stamina for riding. I rode for maybe 15 minutes and got off and saw stars. I had to sit down! Horrible.

Lucy was such a good girl, and was very forgiving of my crap riding. She felt really good.

Hannah helped her daddy take photos








Morgan hopped on and made Lucy look like a million bucks:











Morgan is aiming for a little schooling three-phase next weekend, as long as Lucy doesn't sabotage herself again!

Hannah is doing great. Can you believe she will be five months old on the 18th? I can't!! She is so funny, and so cute. I am still job hunting and have one very serious possibility and while going back to work is a necessity, it's going to be very hard to leave this:

  2. Hannah is precious. Glad Lucy is better.. she is looking fabulous!

    I had my baby two months ago and started back work last week. I only work 4ish hours a day, but it's still hard to leave. Although, my girl gets to stay with her dad so I don't havr thestress of daycare/nanny.
    Will you have to put Hannah in daycare when you find employment?

  3. give yourself time. it's not the weight, really. Pregnancy changes the body and you need to be patient. The breastfeeding will help a lot. You look good on her anyway.

  6. Hope the job hunt goes well, and I can see why you don't want to leave that precious little girl!

    Maybe that was the blessing of being bad at breast feeding, I finally just admitted semi defeat and did what i could and supplemented with formula, but cut my calories to lose weight. Don't worry, you hit a point and your body will remember soon how to burn off those extra pounds and the riding comes back soon enough! And Lucy looks just as nice with you aboard.
