Not sure if any of my other "new mom" friends have experienced this....
Tim & I are finding ourselves again. No, we haven't really been lost - just pushed into the background behind all the diapers, feedings, crying and general new baby stuff. Eli will be 5 months old next week and we're ready to work on ourselves and be Evia & Tim, super parents and super people. (We're not really super heroes.....but we try!) Over the past 5 months, we have focused so much on learning about our new son and figuring out how to take care of him that we haven't focused on ourselves. Exercise and hobbies have gone by the wayside. And we're ready to change that. =) We have talked about our daily routine and have figured some ways to allow us each some free time to exercise and do whatever else we wish for a certain period of time. We have given up on our past expectation of exercising every day - at least for now with Eli's age and the current lack of sunlight after work - but we have a plan that will give each one of us every other day. A minimum of 3 workouts a week should help us both get back into some sort of shape (and me lose more of this baby weight) and help us stay happy.
We're excited about our new plan and look forward to continuing to tag team parenthood. We both actually got a workout in today - a great end to our wonderful weekend and the perfect start to a new week!
