1/27: Thoughts from the week
-I used to think I knew what worry was- I had no idea. As much as I enjoyed and loved my pregnancy, I definitely worried and wondered if she’d be ok. All I wanted was the three of us safely home from the hospital. I thought I wouldn’t worry quite as much after she was…
Read More →Swim in sorbet
I’m more of a cake girl (or pizookie girl!) than an ice cream girl, but twice this week, I’ve fully appreciated the beauty of sorbet. The Pilot and I took the family on a walk and then walked over to Frost for a little treat. Mango sorbet for me: Bella had vanilla It definitely stayed…

Two significant things have happened in the past 48 hours: 1. Suddenly, the little one is a fan of righty 2. My husband saved my sleep life As far as #1 goes, there’s kind of a back story to it. I thought things were going well, but then for the past 5 nights or so…

Focus On: Half Marathon Training
Back in the fall, I set a goal for myself: I really want to walk/run the half marathon here at the end of March. Now that we’re in January, and walking is pretty much the only physical activity I can do for the next week and a half, I still want to go for it.…

Number 2?? Not so fast… One of the questions that every single medical professional has asked since we had the baby: “Have you thought about birth control options?” Even my homeopathic doc, whom I spoke with yesterday about milk production tips and the like said, “don’t let your husband look at you the wrong way-…
Read More →Hey, hemp
Another one of these hilarious videos: (I still like the originals and the yoga one the best) It definitely came to mind when I busted these out a couple of days ago: hemp seeds! Long time, no see. When my doc recommended upping my fat intake, hemp seeds was one of his suggestions as they’re…

Girls’ nights have a new meaning over here. It’s me, Livi and Bella 😉 Livi is the party animal- she drinks all night, wets herself and cries, I’m the one taking care of her while Bella gives us the stink eye. We’re a fun group, for sure. Yesterday was my first day at home with…
Read More →Superbowl Snacks
Even though it isn’t for a couple of weeks, Superbowl hubbub is already in full swing. I’ve mentioned this before, but after all of football games I’ve been to in my life, I still don’t really understand it. (My second date with the Pilot was an Arizona homecoming game) I understand touchdowns and field goals,…

As soon as we announced our pregnancy, quite a few people asked me how I planned to get “back in shape” after she was born. My plan? Nothing at all. One of my goals while I was pregnant was to stay active and eat well to support our growing baby and my increasing energy needs.…

Hello to another Monday, goodbye to another glorious baby meal. Our friends Bob and Emily came over last night to hang out and brought dinner. Bella wouldn’t leave Bob alone (she LOVES him) and Emily, the baby whisperer, held Livi while we all chatted. Dinner was incredible, too. Roasted winter vegetable soup with carrots, sweet…

Flowers and sunlight! Guess who ventured into the world today…. It was so nice to get out. FREEEEEEEDOM! We had a lovely brunch at Eclectic Cafe: Lox, eggs, potatoes, OJ and fruit for me, the Pilot had granola, yogurt, eggs and French toast. Nana and Tata met us for coffee while we ate- it…

I totally get why new moms cut off all their hair. It’s a luxury to get a shower, let alone style or dry anything. Twisty bangs + ponytail or messy bun for the win. I wrote about our adventures in breastfeeding here, but just as we’re starting to get the hang of it, it’s also…
