Today's Good Things:
Extra rest and a morning nap
Seeing better diapers
Today's Not So Good Things:
Feeling so hungry so I keep eating. Ugh
Ice cream with the fam for dessert (just 2 small scoops at least)
No activity at all. Just too tired to do anything.
A bit behind on feeding every 2 hours. Need to stay strict with that because it def shows improvement in her diapers and sleep pattern at night.
Well, May is going out with a snooze for me. I'm actually excited for the calendar to change simply for the fact that I've been thinking about the month of May for SOOOO long now. It's nice to turn the page and move on to the next season.
Tonight I sent the fam to bed a little early. My husband already turned in. I'm going to enjoy some quiet while I enjoy some cluster feeding with my little Kindli-girl. She sure is yummy. :)
I have a friend coming tomorrow, so that will definitely be some motivation toward a bit of activity by way of tidying up the house. Not too much, mind you. I don't mind having the excuse of a newborn to dismiss the general mess lying about. ;) I'm looking forward to the weekend, though. Hoping to get out for a drive so we can find a local swimming beach for the summer as well as some hiking trails in our new area. Last summer the children and I purposed to visit a few new trails and it was really fun. Hoping to do the same once I'm on my feet again.
I'd like to spend some time looking at different options for logging my food and exercise this weekend. Also hoping I can start adding in an evening walk with the family after dinner soon. Slow and Steady, right? I guess that's why they call them Baby Steps. ;)
You definitely need to give yourself a little mercy even though I know it is HARD.Enjoy that precious,beautiful bundly!"Kindy".......What an absolutely beautiful nick-name! I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteAnyhow,that's WONDERFUL that she has some better diapers! Keep up the good work Mamma!
Yep....Baby steps *especially* while you are still so early postpartum! Give yourself another month and then I fully expect you to start taking some giant steps!!! :):)
Ditto Angie... take that time you need... but we DO expect to see you taking some big steps when the time is right! LOL! :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad for June as well. Just feels like a fresh start... even though I'm not starting anything. LOL! June holds the first day of summer... so maybe that is why. :)
Enjoy your time with your friend today. :)
I like the idea of trails and such. We don't do beaches as a family- but our family loves to go hiking and biking, and our area happened to build some new trails in hte past few years. We haven't done that in a couple of years because it always seems I'm either pregnant or have a teeny baby in the summer. This year, our little one will be 8-12 months during the hiking/biking season. Time to get out there! :) (Thanks for the motivation!)
Just checking on you this morning Tracy!!!!! (((((((HUGS))))))) How are you feeling?
ReplyDeleteJust dropping in to say "hello" and see how you are doing. Hope you are doing okay. (((HUGS)))
