Recent Developments

Things my daughter can do:
  • Hold her head up (and steady) for several seconds,
  • Spit her milk out like a camel,
  • Grab my glasses during feedings,
  • Do yoga (babies are so flexible!), and
  • Belch the alphabet (okay, maybe not, but if she knew the alphabet, she could fit in into one good belch).
She's so awesome, and she makes the cutest face when she farts!

We are finally beginning to settle into a groove with Brittney. I actually found time today to do yoga and go for a walk, and Andy was gone most of the day! The dishes and laundry are done... or they will be before I go to bed tonight.

Now that I'm finding time in my days, and now that Andy is mentally stable again, I can pay myself a little attention. That attention started this morning when I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror in my skivvies... wow. I know it's only been 3 weeks, but.... wow. I know, I know... I'm still fairly thin (although I'm 20 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight), but that's not it... I look like a deflated balloon, one that was recently way over inflated. I guess I hadn't noticed since I'd been so focused on Brittney and Andy. That vision inspired me to start yoga again and get back into running (starting with a walk). I also need to eat healthier than I have been, so I started the day off by cutting up an apple and mixing it with a small container of vanilla yogurt, a small box of raisins, and a sprinkle of cinnamon. It was delicious! Healthy feels good... nevermind that I ate almost a fourth of a bag of chocolate chips as a snack this afternoon. Mmmmm....
