racing and 6 month pics


So I decided that being pregnant destroys your body. I knew you'd get fat, and stretch marks, and that you'd be a milk machine for a year. but I didn't know that being pregnant for so long makes your muscles completely like mush. It took me so long to be able to run again-I felt like I was starting with absolutly no muscle, or stamina-I always thought 6 weeks after you have your baby and the dr says your good to go, that you would be. But it took a long time for me to get back into shape. But I think 6 months later, I can now say-I'm kinda in shape again. I ran my first 5K since having Jeter in Delta with McKenna. It was an okay day, it was super super windy, so we had to fight it the whole way, which made it a little harder, but hey, I did it, and now I can keep trying to get a little faster. anyways while we were in Delta, we had our family friend Shayla tuttle take 6month pics of Jeter. these are just the one's she's posted on facebook, I haven't gotten the CD yet. so when I get the Cd I'll post some more :)




We also took Jeter on the swing for the first time, and he loved it. we also jumped on the tramp with him since all he loves to do now is jump, and he loved that too. at the bottom is me and Kenna is our awesome running shirts we got for doing the race :) sorry the pictures are kind of scattered!

  1. From my limited understanding, I think being mostly back in shape after 6 months is pretty dang good! Now you know how it feels to run when you're me, no muscle or stamina!

  6. What cute pictures! My favorite of him is where he is grabbing his toes. Nice job on running the race. I'm excited to run in April, even though I know I'm going to be last...at least I can say I did it, right??
