Birthday Weekend

Yay!  We've now made it two weeks!  It's Ella's birthday weekend!
This is my sunshine face
Saturday was nice and lazy at home.  Always nice to just kick back and take it easy with our new little family.  Sunday was our day of "celebrating" -- we made a trip to the store and even paused for brunch afterwards!  I was quite proud of our little monkey for not having a meltdown while out in public; she ended up going about 2hrs between feeds, which is long for her daytime schedule.  Our waitress kept saying how surprised she was that Ella was so quiet and well-behaved in the restaurant.  That's because we have the best baby ever!
Pondering deep thoughts in the car
Meditating while mom & dad ate brunch
Passing out after my own lunch.
A well-rounded day!
John keeps teasing me that I'm "becoming that pregnant woman all the other pregnant women love to hate" whenever I do something ahead of the usual recovery schedule.  Like the fact that I was able to complete a natural delivery with no bad after-effects (no tearing, no hemorrhoids, nothing).  Or that I've already lost all the baby weight and am back at pre-pregnancy levels.  Or that I was back at the gym doing deadlifts within two weeks of delivery.  Or that I was wearing pre-pregnancy skinny jeans today while we were out.  He laughs that I need to keep this stuff hush-hush so I don't get myself  in trouble.  I'm trying not to brag; I'm just excited I have a waistline again and can wear more than 10% of my wardrobe!
