Snoozing on the job
Meet Exhibit A of our breastfeeding woes: The Milk Queen, sleeping atop her Boppy throne So, posting about breastfeeding is a personal thing and TMI city, but I’ve been writing about it in hopes that it may help someone who encounters a similar situation, and open the doors to talk about it, since it’s one…

Humpday! I always look forward to the weekend, and even more so now that the Pilot’s been back to work. I like hanging out with him 😉 This morning’s bfast was the last of nana’s egg casserole (I’ll ask her for the recipe- quite a few friends have asked for it) with tea and toast…

Over the last 4 weeks: -I’ve watched a LOT of trash TV during nursing and pumping sessions. Biggest wastes of TV time: The Revolution, The Chew, and the fact that E! has turned into the Kardashian channel. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Kardashians, but if that’s not on E! during the day,…

Smoked salmon is back in my life in a big way…. So salty and glorious. Before coming downstairs to make breakfast, I had to convince the lazy girls it was time to start the day. The one on the left still has night and day in reverse.. especially after last night. Party animal 🙂 Some…

Well, it wasn’t meant to be my night for yoga. I was a couple of minutes late to class, since Livi needed a full belly and I pumped before leaving her with her Daddy. Class was completely PACKED and they had already started the opening talk and meditation. I walked into the room, saw that…

Guess who’s in the clear?? Source At my midwife appointment today, she told me I’m “free to do whatever I was doing before.” Music to my ears. Even though I’m still recovering, I feel great and am excited to get back into the things I love. I’m so excited to take a Zumba class this…

Why hello, farmer’s market… It’s been awhile! Yesterday we decided to take advantage of the gorgeous weather and hit up the Saturday market, which is smaller than the Sunday one, but still has quite a few vendors. Field trip for the entire fam 😀 We picked up some goodies for dinner, and since we were…

One of the most challenging things in the first couple of weeks was having no idea what the cries meant. All I knew was that they broke my heart, and I immediately wanted to figure out what was wrong and what we needed to do to fix it. A Facebook friend left this video on…

Over here, it’s an equal split between the early birds (Bell and I are wide awake) and the night owls. (Pilot and baby are snoozing away) Early bird gets the… waffle 😉 A quick breakfast with two Van’s waffles, topped with almond butter and jelly, a salad with Goddess dressing and an egg + tea…

-The stability ball has become a permanent fixture in here- thank you to those of you who recommended using it as a rocking chair. Of course, Livi is a huge fan. I think it’s because I spent most of the last 3 weeks of pregnancy on the stability ball, gently bouncing and encouraging her to…
