2 bodies, 1 soul

I know I said this blog was going to be more of an individual thing and for the most part it probably will be. With that said I can't help but think as Teagan is laying sweetly on my chest/stomach/arm that is she a part of me. She will forever share a piece of my soul. As my mom said about me to my daddy "she might have your heart but she has my soul." How true that is.

An evening run.

Tonight I ran. I ran for the first time in almost 2 years. It was exhausting and exhilarating. To be honest, it was hard. *side note- they really need tutorials for running while pushing a stroller. It's much harder to run when you don't have the usage of your arms!!* I used to run every night averaging 3-4 miles a night. Then I got pregnant and could not imagine poor baby Reid being jostled around so I switched from running to walking & prenatal yoga. While I was pregnant I wanted to run but it wasn't something that I yearned for. After Teagan got here and the months started adding up, I craved running. I was jealous of anybody who I saw running, who talked about running or even walking fast. I vowed to make time for myself. I vowed to run again. Stuff started getting in the way. (pause) Actually let me rephrase that. My priorities changed and I'm perfectly okay with that. I decided tonight that if I can't find time to run by myself then who better to keep me company then my Little Bear? So, tonight was yet another lesson learned in the adaptability of a mom.
