It was harder for me after each pregnancy but I also gave myself more grace each pregnancy bc each kid will do that to you. The first baby I was back doing HIIT work outs at 10ish weeks. My third kid I truly didn't start working out until at least a year. I was busy with two others and working etc

We have a Gabb. Functionality is totally fine and everything we need. But, I’ve noticed that older elementary kids don’t like the look of it and would prefer something that looked closer to an Apple Watch it’s just bigger and more square than an Apple Watch.
