Welcome to my Hazy Meadow

I was saying over and over that I was going to work out when the new year started. Well here it is the end of February and I am just now deciding to do something. Of course I have made attempts since January and gave up with each one. This time I actually kept going and pushed through the burn. What made it easier to get through was listening to Rihanna's new album on repeat, which is totally AMAZING by the way. Listening to music with a beat that is similar to the pace you are trying to go is very helpful and is definitely something that I suggest you try at home.  During this workout session I started off with about 15 minutes of yoga. Following that I did 3 reps of 15 squats, 2 reps of 15 side leg raises (one side = one rep), 2 reps of 15 hip raises/bridge/butt lifts, 2 reps of 15 fire hydrants, and  I only managed to do 5 push ups. I finished off with 30 minutes of dancing(hard dancing) and some cool down stretches. I have my own yoga flow that I do and it does not in...

        Hi everyone, it is good to be back and better than ever. An effort to post more will be made. That shouldn't be a hard task right now considering I am not working and my baby is still a super sleepy head. I know that I went M.I.A for a while, but that was all for a good reason. I was busy trying to get as many hours of work in as possible before the birth of my beautiful baby girl.         She is here now and is one of the most precious things I have ever held (I know, I know, what parent doesn't say that). She was born in my hometown of Atlanta, GA weighing 6lb 7oz and measuring 18 inches. I am still not sure if I made it a full 40 weeks or not. I'm unsure of that because I was given two different due dates. The first one was November 27th and the second one was December 15. They changed it from the original one because of her size at my 6 week ultrasound. She ended up being born on a Saturday, the day after...

I am sorry if this list makes you imagine all of the things that are going to be happening "down there", but the items are total must haves and you will be glad that you read it. This is my first baby and  I never knew that childbirth could sound so tragic. I knew that some things would happen to your area, but I was clueless as to how deep it really is. Maybe people don't tell this part because it would most likely scare one out of having children. It indeed did scare me, but there is definitely no going back now.

No one ever talks about the healing process after childbirth, but women need to know the good, the bad and the ugly. The goal is to mentally prepare myself as much as possible for what is about to happen to me, sooo I've been doing my research... While on pinterest I found this awesome post that informed me on something that I did not know about. Did you know that your vagina hurts so much that it is suggested that you freeze your pads to helps soothe it? Padsickles could be your solution (they soothe your vagina after childbirth). Check out the link ( Tall Mom tiny baby: How To Make Postpartum Padsicles Padsickles in 4 E... ) and she will show you how to make them step by step. It is a very quick and easy process; your lady parts will thank you for making them. I am definitely going to try them.
