Very soon (hopefully sooner rather than later!) I will have given birth to two babies in less than three years. After I had my daughter, I kind of got back to exercising and eating right, but it was hard knowing we wanted children that were pretty close in age. What was the use of getting back in shape just to get pregnant again?

But after this second baby, we are probably complete as a family. (I mean, I’d never rule out another kid completely, but two might be right for us.) So after this labor and delivery, I am so excited to get my body back.

Getting my body back doesn’t mean getting super skinny or going gung-ho to get fit ASAP. It just means making myself and my health a priority and focusing on making forward progress to be strong and healthy. After having your body house a baby for nine months, it is nice to feel in control of it again. This time around, I put together a postpartum exercise kit so I am ready to move towards my goal of being healthy once I am cleared to exercise.

After this baby, I am determined to get my body back. Not in a "get super skinny" sort of way, but just reclaiming myself and my health. So I put together a post-partum exercise kit to help motivate me to get it done. quirkyandthenerd.com #ad #AGummyYouCanTrust
