Under Arm Flab?? Have a Baby!

Monday morning I woke up and my arms were really sore. I felt like I had done a thousand push ups. As many of you know I am a sign language interpreter by profession which means I move my arms-a lot! It is not uncommon for my arms to hurt especially after a long or strenuous assignment but seeing as I hadn't signed for 4 days I didn't know what was causing the pain. Enter Mateo. He is my little friend. His mom and I work together (we are friends too). I babysat this cute little guy on Sunday. He is adorable coming in at around 11 lbs. You would think that from all the signing/moving I do my arms would have some tone and strength to them-wrong! I actually am getting what I affectionately call Relief Society arms, you know the under arm flab that waves to everyone after you've stopped waving. Needless to say holding/bathing/feeding/tending to Teo for a few hours on Sunday did it!! And I'm not complaining I would do it again in a heartbeat! Here's looking forward to having babies and strong arms!

i never have had sore arms from taking care of a baby. although they could have been camoflaged (sp??) by the fact that i had a c-section and was in intense pain in my abdomen for several days. slight muscle pain in my arms pales in comparison. tell john to hurry up so you can get rid of your RS arms and try and start your family....

Awwww. Sorry he made your arms sore! My arms, neck and shoulders are constantly sore from carrying him around. And now he's 12 lbs! He misses Auntie LeeElle...come see us again soon!
