11049606_914617351908202_3367470378388452683_nLast weekend I had the chance to ride down to New Forest Wake Park for the first time since it opened.  Its a fun little set up with some great toys to session. It was my second time back on the water after I had baby Oli just five weeks ago so as you can imagine, I was gagging to get on the water. 

I rode for a whole hour this time and now I am paying for it.  My body hurts and aches in places I’d forgotten I had, even my hands ache.  Seriously??  What is going on there. 

I actually hit some toys on this ride which felt good but I’m soooo sketchy at the moment… like super sketch – but I don’t care because I’m back on the water baaabbbbyyyyy and friggin loving it!  Yeeeeah riding again! 

First Laps

Yeah I am stoked today!  I got back on the water for the first time since having my second baby just three weeks ago!  The last time I rode was five laps in Ropes and Wires (in which I knew I was pregnant but no one else did).  I was pretty nervous as I’m really out of shape but I’m pleased to say I rode a few laps, didn’t push it too much and came away smiling… can’t wait for next time!

Yes, obviously I can’t wait to meet our little being and to finally know if its a boy or a girl!  However, I also can’t wait for all the things I’ve had to stop doing / avoid / give up during these past nine, absolutely magical months.

1. Wakeboarding.  First things first.  Get me on a board asap.  Thank you please.

2. Red wine.  Its my vice.  I usually enjoy a glass most nights with dinner, I have done for years, I love it, its my thing.  Also as a parent I find its like a ‘well done’ for getting through another day of keeping your child alive. 

3. Surfing.  Already provisionally booked a week at the coast to get my fix in July.  The ocean; its a pure love thing, I just need it.

4. Workouts.  What is there to say, you know I love working out…. To add insult to injury, Jon has dusted off his free weights and invested in a bench.  He smugly sneaks off to the garage in the evenings leaving me sitting on my pregnant ass, watching rubbish TV eating a Mars ice-cream bar (my new fav thing).  I can’t wait to get my hands on those weights as part of my ‘get back in shape, again’ routine.

5. Brie / mussels / goats cheese / beer / pate / runny eggs / port / champers.  The list goes on for all the foods I miss eating/drinking.  I just want a huge wedge of brie with a big fat glass of port. Ta.
