2 mile walk/run: Samantha Update



I am happy to announce that I finished a 2 mile walk/run in 30 minutes today.  This is the furthest I've walked since my c-section and the first time I've really tried to run.  I have not been given the green light to run.  I'm just one week away, though, and I felt good.  I walked briskly 75% of the time.  My 6-week check up is next friday, August 28th.  I am hoping I get the "ok" to return to running.   

The rib pain I experienced at the end of my pregnancy is back, which may keep me from running as much as I'd like upon my return.  Either that or sleep deprivation will surely keep me from overexerting myself.  

Samantha had her one-month check up this week.  She weighed in at 7.7 lbs and 20.5 inches long.  She is at the 7%ile for weight, 26%ile for length, and 46%ile for head circumference.    She is healthy and growing properly.  She is scheduled for an ultrasound on her hips August 25th, to make sure she did not dislocate her hip prior to delivery.  Apparently, the pediatric practice recommends this when babies are breech.
