Thank you! 
Things are good ... I am tired, I don't get a lot of sleep at all. Longest I have slept in a row is about 3 hours - maybe. Trying to nap and not doing things around the house, but I am not very good at that. I like to do things for myself, hard for me to depend on others. I need to get over that.
Hubby goes back to work tomorrow, so I am home alone. I am looking forward to it in a way, but really do wish he was home this next week too. My parents are coming Feb 1st, his are coming the end of Feb. They are all so excited to see her!
Rachel is still adorable ... she is sleeping a lot, but starting to have more "awake" periods where she is just awake and looking around. She is now making all kinds of little noises and faces. She is funny. She took her first "sponge bath" today and was really good about it. I am pumping breast milk - since she stopped taking from the breast and still won't. I amfreezing some, and using the rest. She is getting mostly breastmilk, but I am still supplementing with formula (mostly at night) until the Pediatrician says to stop. She goes back to the doctor Tuesday night for another checkup.
I feel good, still sore, and I believe I have misplaced my ab muscles. They are totally missing in action, so my low back is very sore. I am not supposed to do ab work for 6 weeks, but I might start doing some pilates next week. I am also going to start taking short walks this week. It is going to be really hard to get back into the swing of working out - I am so flabby and soft, and get tired very easily. Plus, my hormones are still outta whack. It will be a long journey ....
But I cannot really complain - I feel good and am totally in heaven. I love this little girl!

Hey Daisy...just a thought. After I had my daughter they told me I could fold a pillow in half and lay face down on it with the pillow under my belly to get things contracting and back to normal more quickly. I'm not sure if docs still think this is ok or not, but it might be worth asking.
You'll only be jello for a short period! I'm sure the muscle is just screaming to "pop" out again! lol
Get some sleep, Girl!

Thank you for the update. For what it's worth, I think you are going to have an easy time falling back into working out. You have a new and exciting way of looking at life, which I've heard comes after the birth of a child, only a mother can understand.
There is no stopping you when you commit to a goal DG. I know I've said this before, but I'll say it again, your tranformation post is the reason I went Plat & joined EF. I cannot even imgaine the void I would have in my life if I chose not to join that day. I'm sure you've had this impact on others as well, and many more to come.
