Redefining MommyhoodJourney of a mom whose son is overcoming hypotonia

I re-joined a gym a few weeks ago to try and get back in shape. They have a nice nursery where you can leave your precious little ones for up to two hours. Luke and I tried this last summer, but it didn’t turn out so well.

He was doing better this time around up until last week. He had a major meltdown to the point where he was gagging and almost threw up. One of the girls had to come pry me away from the elliptical machine 12 minutes into my workout and we ended up leaving.

Today was a little better, although the separation anxiety has returned with a vengeance. I can’t leave him in his playroom at home alone for 15 minutes so I don’t know why I thought leaving him with strangers was going to be any better. He survived (so did I, I only checked on him once through the one-way window!) and I got a good 45 minutes in today.

I think consistency is the key to success with anything, so we are going to give it another try tomorrow.
