I Sure Can Smell The Rain

Today was one of those days where I had a huge to-do list and got nothing done. I wanted to get out on a walk with a friend, but we were foiled by the rain that started up around 10am. It wasn't supposed to start until afternoon and was only a 20% chance at best. Well it has been storming off an on all day. Oscar went almost three hours every feeding last night which was amazing! However, it resulted in him nursing almost constantly today. I made a list of ten things I wanted to accomplish this week and have yet to check a single thing off my list. My phone pinged while I was nursing (again) and reminded me that I had a quarterly call for a rating system that my work would like me to lead point on. Considering the SITES rating systems is the one that focuses on the landscape, it's the closest thing to my undergrad studies I've done since I moved back to Atlanta. So even though I am still on maternity leave it was important for me to sit in. Of course, my Mac was cranky about using WebEx, and Oscar decided that he didn't want to be put down. So this afternoon I was having flashbacks of grad school with Sawyer as a newborn. Headset on, cranky baby on shoulder, trying not to sway too far from the computer that I was attached to. There really is nothing new under the sun. Carey came home with Sawyer and was able to get Oscar down for a nap. He and Sawyer had popsicles for snack and are currently playing upstairs. I'm going to attempt a new meatball recipe for dinner.

Fun, Fun, Fun

I apologize for the bad resolution of the pictures, but sometimes my phone is more handy than the camera. We've been working hard on tummy time and Sawyer's muscle control. He's been wiggling like crazy. Most days he only lasts 2-3 minutes on his belly but this particular day he was having a grand time. He's really holding his head up well! Airplane Baby

Work this Body

We haven't had an eventful week. After the craziness of last week, I am incredibly happy about that. Oscar was 10 weeks old yesterday. It's unbelievable how fast time is passing. One of the things I tried to focus on this pregnancy and maternity leave, differently than last time, is to make sure that I am focused on being healthy and not so much on weight and body shape. Ten weeks postpartum, I am only eight pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight. However, my body is much softer and hips are much wider. I am still having trouble fitting into pre-pregnancy clothes. I decided to pick up my workouts in addition to the stepbet that I am already doing. However, those two things can sometimes be in conflict with each other. My body definitely needs the strength workouts, but I am not able to squeeze in a walk in addition to the workout, so in order to make my steps, I am having to get creative. This week I started a new Nike Training Club plan. NTC is a free app that I use to giv...

Rollin'

It's finally the weekend. Although these days, I think the weekends are as exhausting as the week days. I have both boys all day and we've somehow managed to pack the days full. Last night we were able to play outside for a little bit before dinner. Sawyer is getting pretty good with this toy that our friends the Flaggs gave us. I don't even know what it's called but you roll around on it. He really wanted to play yard hockey but Oscar wouldn't sleep or lay on a blanket, he just wanted to nurse and be held. Initially Sawyer did really well with the fact that the baby needed so much. I don't know if it is because Carey is gone or because it's been two months, but Sawyer seems to have less and less patience with me and Oscar. I have to keep reminding myself that he is four. And when you are tired, hungry, and four, patience is not a strong suit. Then again, when you are tired, hungry and thirty-four, patience isn't much of a strong suit either. :) ...
