Backpack + Doubled Birth Weight

Murray is now able to go in the back pack. This is a great step as it means I can do housework with him on my back and actually get things done. Plus he loves it as he has such a different view and we can play games in any mirrors we come across around the house. Going for walks are easier too as it is far more comfortable to carry him in the pack compared to the sling. I went Xmas shopping on Monday with him in it and while it was pretty hard work I'm sure it was better than trying to push the buggy around the shops.

Weight at 24 Weeks

Murray is now 16lbs 3oz so he has officially doubled his birth weight! Onto weaning soon!


Exercise


Exercise has been better than it was in terms of discomfort but a stupid stomach bug that floored both Al and I for a few days at the same time (yeah that was fun trying to look after Murray) put a bit of a spanner in the works.

Last week
Mon: 5 mile  v snowy club run (al on annual leave so could go)
Tue: 60 min spin
Wed: 60min Pilates
Thursday: 30 min Pilates - ugggh - came down with bug at lunch time.
Sunday: 3 mile snowy walk.

This week so far:
Mon: 5 mile run
Tue: 60 min Spin (tough as still a bit wiped from bug)
Wed: 60 min Pilates - stomach is definitely much much stronger - feeling really pleased about that.
