It's so nice to be able to enjoy post-partum a lot more the next time around. I shouldn't say this out loud, but I am also hoping to start running after my baby comes. Good luck to you and all the best!Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07278312453951176970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021647.post-83291755114096965652010-07-18T17:11:06.234-07:002010-07-18T17:11:06.234-07:00loved this post. excited to hear your next one. ...loved this post. excited to hear your next one. jett is so cute. i loved getting the announcement!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021647.post-31876596221942062232010-07-17T06:59:18.541-07:002010-07-17T06:59:18.541-07:00Oh that book sounds great.. thanks for the referra...Oh that book sounds great.. thanks for the referral.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01319239641295607118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021647.post-33798670198124734502010-07-16T20:56:46.430-07:002010-07-16T20:56:46.430-07:00Thank you for your authenticity.

I've been walking the journey of learning to love my body AS IS for many many years and I'm still far away from where I know I want to be. Might I suggest an amazing book that's helped me tremendously? It's a collection of essays written by women Karlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433191926314878774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12021647.post-79148228091663021202010-07-16T14:48:56.862-07:002010-07-16T14:48:56.862-07:00Way to go, Heather!!

And I'll be rooting for you as you get back into shape! I'm impressed - so early post partum! It took me until J was 5 months. That first month was tough!
