I have GOT to start working out my arms...

ashleyb0604

or else I'm never going to be able to haul a baby, or worse, a baby IN a car seat all over the place! I have no upper body strength. Well...at least I have 8 months to get my arms and shoulders buff...right?

Anyone else?

I was just thinking this the other day!  I don't know how people do it.  I think I've permanently injured my back with just my purse!  That's pretty sad.  In my defense, I carry an absurdly heavy purse.

I bought 3 lb weights and 2.5 leg weights to do some light exercises.  I haven't had the energy to work out this week but I hope to start it up tomorrow!

I am a weakling... and am going to start borrowing my sister's three month old to practice... and maybe purchase some wrist weights....

I used to be able to do 20 push-ups now I can barely do 5 ?I'm right there with you.

But I've been practicing so hopefully I'll be ready by the time baby comes lol?

You'd be amazed how much you can actually handle after the baby is born.  I was around 100lbs with very little arm strength with my first and he weighed 9lbs 2oz when born.  He gained weight fast but somehow I managed to carry him in the car seat carrier, the diaper bag, my purse and other stuff with no problems.  Sometimes when I had to hold him for a long time I would lean him on my hip... but I managed.  I'm sure you will be fine!

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Z - I wondered if maybe having the baby grow incrementally allowed your strength grow with the baby...I'm hoping so!
