It's nearly week 6 and I'm feeling energetic. I've been walking and I plan to start more vigorous workouts at the 6 week point.

Just came back from shopping for dresses for work. I figured that dresses would better accommodate the swelling that will come by the end of the day (versus pants). Shopping is a perfect fix for the nitpicking depression of week two. I tried on dresses that looked terrible on me before because of the belly bulge and they look great now! I bought a few. I feel so happy!

Still looking great. I'm sure the depression will lift. I agree that focusing on your blessings does help. You'll need to remind me of that in the future too ;) I'm sure wanting to hold your baby IS hard. Hang in there. You are on your way back to a new normal that you will love even more w/out that belly to deal with.

I would not sweat a 2 pd weight gain either. I doubt it is real weight at all. Probably just swelling issues. I'm not hopping on the scale afterwards for a while. The scale holds too much power to make or break my day.

Thanks for the encouragement, Puggymom. You make some very good points!

Nothing like a little retail therapy:)  Yes dresses are much more comfortable to start.
