6 weeks: big baby

[walkitout]

So, we knew A. was a bit large for her age. She's clearly getting towards the end of fitting into the 0-3 months clothes. We weighed her in a (paper) diaper and clothing (Carter's snap front sleep-and-play, so figure maybe 6 ounces right there): 12 pounds 14 ounces. Probably 12 pounds and an ounce or few if we stripped her naked.

Geez.

I have a bit more of a diastasis than can be ignored, so I got out _Lose Your Mummy Tummy_, the horribly named, but quite useful book to correct it. The cool thing about the midwives out here is they _know_ about this book, whereas the ones in Seattle did not.

And my walking partner has arrived.

R. bicycled 57 miles. I walked a mere just-under-2 miles. But I pushed the stroller this time instead of walking along next to some other poor soul I handed the job off to.

And it was very nice to see P. today and catch up a bit.

If you can do something about the diastasis now, good idea. I never made time for any proper exercises and am not sure there's much that can be done any more (cosmetically, anyway: it wouldn't hurt me in general to have better ab strength, that's for sure).

"Mummy tummy" is certainly horrid, but not quite as bad as "twin skin."

maybe get the book at the library

According to it, it's never too late to improve things. I, of course, do not have any knowledge.
