Coordinating coordination...

So it's 10:30pm Wednesday night and this is my "mommy moments" for today.

I am a newly wed (I think, not sure how long that title lasts) who got married 13 months ago to my husband Peter. Much to our surprise, it took no more than one attempt to get pregnant and we came back from the honeymoon expecting our little bundle of Joy.

Maria was born March 8, 2010 at 6lbs 15oz and has been a complete blessing to our lives. It's amazing how she's opened my eyes and shown me love like I've never know existed. She is just learning to roll and giggle and I don't think I could be happier!

We bought our first house 14 months ago and spent the last year pouring money, sweat and even a few tears into it to make it our home. I think we've learned a house is complete but a home is never done...the list of "to do's" keeps growing :)

I returned to work as a sales rep for medical publications, 6wks ago. Talk about an adjustment period!!! I battled the thought of going back, and it's take great friends and time to get used to being away of my daugther - - but it does feel good to be back in "action" with more than "mom & wife" to define who I am. I could do without the stress - - but not the pay check!

All that being said - my true mommy moment of the day would have to be the 20 min workout I FINALLY did, this evening. I've been trying to find a way and time to get workouts in for the last 3 months. I'm not certain when I turned into my Mother - but it happened and I accepted it. I'm now one of those women that does the Denise Austin Video in my living room with my little 5lb weights I purchased from Target. I used to watch my Mom to Videos when I was a child and I never understood why she didn't just go the gym. Ha - karma - I get it now!

I'm sure my neighbors found my workout entertaining as well. I've gone from a gym rat to living room aerobics lady! And just how does the labor of child remove all coordination??? I mean, I've been out dancing a few times since Maria was born - and definitely feel she kept my "groove" - but seriously-- my coordination too??? Well... guess the neighborhood has a lot of free entertainment to follow.

Tomorrow brings kettlebells - let's hope I look a little less like a fish out of water with this effort.

That the case, it's nearly 11pm and time to hit the hay. Good night all - - this Mommy's had her moment!
