Two weeks. Today Alexander is two weeks old. I feel like it has been simultaneously the longest and shortest two weeks of my life. When I look back I cannot believe that at this time two weeks ago I was still pregnant. Starting labor. I had yet to meet this little bundle of joy. At the same time so much has been going on and some nights have been restless for him, making it seem like an incredibly long time. It is a bizarre feeling. Having two sensations of time at once. That is parenthood though. The same has happened with Jackson. Looking at him I cannot believe he is pushing 4 years old! I remember him being a little squish that I nursed round the clock. At the same time it feels like forever ago that he was tiny like Alex. Time flies. Time drags. Depending on the season or moment.
I haven’t started officially working out again. I have started going on walks with Alexander.
We walk around our neighborhood. It is a couple miles. I am contemplating doing a post natal pilates video that is designed for post parturm starting at 0 weeks. Meaning I am two weeks into this recovery so it should be all good. We will see if I fit it in later today. I have gotten to the point where I simply cannot sit around doing nothing anymore. The walks have been so refreshing. The air is crisp and cool, so it feels very cleansing.
Happy two weeks my sunshine face. I look forward to each day, week, month, and year with you!
What you said is very true and that is exactly how it seems to feel through the years. My daughter will be turning three in January. The time has flown by so quickly, but yet the days seem so long. It is strange isn’t it? You watch them gradually grow, but it still seems as if it all happens over night. Enjoy every milestone and don’t look to the next one, it will be there before you know it and then you will wish that time could stand still.
