Annabel has briefly fallen asleep on her jungle mat so I am taking this chance to quickly write a post before trying to catch a quick nap myself before she wakes (probably before I finish writing...)
This is a running blog and I had thought/planned that if things happened on time and went completely fine that i would attempt to start back run/walking this weekend - 4 weeks post birth. However, not only was the birth somewhat delayed (12 days to be exact) but it wasn't straight forward either. After five days in hospital we were all very glad to be home, but mummy's recovery has been hampered and it will definitely not be before our 6 week check-up that I will be able to even contemplate running again.
I will be so happy when I finally can get out there. Maybe it will help make me start to feel a little more like my old self. At the moment all I feel is tiredness. If you ask me running ultras is a piece of cake compared to being a new parent. I feel like I have been in 24 day race (never mind 24 hours)! It's probably as well that I can't go running at the moment as I just don't see where I would fit it in anyway.
In the meantime, a couple of pictures of the cutest baby in the world, little Annabel.

Off to catch some ZZzzzzzz... wish me luck

So gorgeous! Check out those long legs :-) x
Great photos.
Hope you are settling into a routine and I'm sure you are both loving every minute.
It's very special being parents.
Keep the posts coming ...
Wow, i visited tour blog absolutely random, but I saw your kid and he is so beautiful! be happy!
She is lovely. Don't worry, things will get more and more easy as she settles and you'll be able to get a bit more sleep (hopefully).
Look on the bright side and consider this as sleep-deprivation training to aid you in any future multi-day races! Having 3 daughters myself I can very much sympathise, but don't worry, you'll soon be back in training and it gets easier as time goes on (and the time will pass in a blink).
Loving the 'Team Hart' baby vest! :-)
