Over the last 4 weeks: -Iโve 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. Donโt get me wrong, I love me some Kardashians, but if thatโs not on E! during the day,…

Smoked salmon is back in my life in a big wayโฆ. 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 ๐ Some…

Well, it wasnโt 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…

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, itโs 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 theโฆ waffle ๐ A quick breakfast with two Vanโs 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 itโs because I spent most of the last 3 weeks of pregnancy on the stability ball, gently bouncing and encouraging her to…
