Just starting out!
« on: September 10, 2012, 10:37:57 AM »
Hello all . . . 8 weeks postpartum and looking forward to losing some of this baby weight and then some.  Any tips or advice will be greatly appreciated as I have an 8 week old to look after, while working as an RN, and taking classes online.  (Plus living with a hubby who loves to eat everything) haha ;D

Welcome to the forum, edswife.  You have a lot on your plate.  If your husband eats anything and everything, feed him the FTS way.  He'll like that, too.

Clean out the pantry and plan ahead, plan ahead and plan ahead.  Can you send a whiff of the baby my way?  New baby smells are the best, second only to sheets that have been dried in the sun.

Thanks Stephanie - always nice to meet another nurse.  Good to know I'm not alone in trying to juggle such a demanding job and so many other ventures.

Thanks Andrea - and you're right I never knew it until this little angel came into my life, but baby smells are the best!

Welcome to the Forum!  You will love it here!  I totally understand a hubby who eats everything.  ha ha  As I type this, mine is lying on the couch, watching the Braves, and eating a BIG bowl of popcorn.... :-X   The house smells like a movie theater right now!   :D  Even so, I have found that my tastes have just changed.  When I crave something, it's usually strawberries & cream or an icy peanut butter/chocolate shake made with almond milk.  Be sure to check out the recipe exchange.  There's lots of yummy things there!  ;D
