Arms of steel

playball13

Now that G is finally gaining weight (yay!) the infant car seat carrier is getting really heavy. I haven't started exercising yet but I am going to count carrying him in the seat while walking DS1 into his before/after school program each day. The program is at the back of the school. I'm going to have arms of steel before long. Maybe I'll do lunges while walking to work on my legs and butt.

Edit - mobile bumping is hard.

Thank god I'm not the only one! My 5 week old weighs 11 pounds and carrying her in her car seat gives my arms a workout for sure!!!

Of course my arms got all flabby during pregnancy. I didn't work out at all! Now I'm paying for it... :-<


ETA: words are hard

My LO is still pretty little, she's a shade under 9 lbs, but she's not going to get any lighter! My friend calls them "mom biceps", and between the car seat and one armed holding I'd have to agree!

The car seat carrying, plus LO is obsessed with being bounced by me or DH and now that she's weighing more I can only do it for a short time. Definitely feeling the burn lol

I hear ya. My little chunky monkey is already 14 lbs before you even add the car seat!

I have the added benefit of carrying two car seats! Both of my arms will be buff....."perks" of twins!

Wow! I haven't ever thought about what carrying more than one would be like!
