Trust me on this one! Having two babies start crawling at 4 months…it brings “workout” and “baby proofing” each to a whole new level.

Also, LOVE the damask bouncy seat!!

Also, also, congrats on mastering your first six months of mommyhood! It just gets even more fun from here on out! (I mean that seriously, not sarcastically).

You woke up ridiculously early; managed to get you, a husband and a baby to the race in time to actually nurse a baby and use the potty; ran a HALF MARATHON at a 9 minute pace (and look good while doing it); and you just had a baby a few months ago and therefore have had no sleep in said time. If I didn’t love you so much I would hate you! :-) I’m so very proud of you, and I know that your mom is, too. You are AMAZING! And I love you more! :-)

You make it look so easy! My mind thinks I can become a runner… My body needs a lot more convincing (sometimes known as conditioning hehe).

I’m impressed that you were able to force your legs to keep going and still stood for a pic with your precious family. You had a baby less than half a year ago and still completed the race you set out in. That’s beautiful, lady! Learning grace for ourselves is so hard to do. Thank you for sharing this!

I am glad you are enjoying motherhood so much. As you know they grow and change so fast. Parker is 8 (oh my goodness!) and Merritt is almost 5!!! It was good to see a picture of your sweet Dad too. He looks great and very happy as a granddaddy! Love to all, Katie

I’m living vicariously thru this story! I dreamed of a pregnancy and birth experience similar to this, but God had much different plans for me and the boys.
