Wow, it's been a while since I've wrote anything on here. Some bullet points because that's all I have time for and I'm already up way too late. And these are in no particular order so bear with me. this is actually going to be short since it is late but wanted to tell everyone (all two or three of you I mean) I am still alive.
1. Yes, it is way too late. But unfortunately it's about the only time I get to really think without Jackson saying "Mommy, come play with me. Mommy, I am hungry. Mommy, I need to go pee pee. Mommy..." you get the drift. I honestly would pay a lot of money to just get a weekend to just sit in a hotel room and enjoy some peace and quiet.
2. I am stressed about the move. We still have a ton of things on the list and we're not getting through them very quickly. Might I suggest to never move with a new baby and a hubby who doesn't get time off? Yeah, not so much fun. But at least Paris is at the end of the tunnel :-) If we had the Congo as our next destination I'd be even crabbier so yes, there is a silver lining.
3. Thank heavens for an awesome baby. She is such a good baby! She even slept from 9 last night until 6 this morning. Yeah, I woke up looking like a porn star. Ha.
4. I am so beyond frustrated because the weight is not coming off as quickly as it did with Jackson. I swear it came off a heck of a lot faster. But I really wasn't watching the scale or super eager to get back into my clothes last time either. I only have one pair of semi decent pants that fit and about two shirts. I don't want to spend the money on anythign new to get me through this period but I think I might have to because yoga pants and race shirts can only cut it for so long. And you know it isn't going to cut it in France.
3. Also frustrated becuase I am just not getting the workouts in like I want. When I can't run I get frustrated and don't even want to work out. The only cardio equipment we own is a rower and I could use it but it just doesn't do it for me all the time.
4. Jillian's 30-day shred is really great, but umm yeah, I am pretty sure I hav to do it more often than once a week for it to be effective. Ha!
5. My sister is getting married in a month and the thought of squeezing into a dress sounds not so fun to me.
6. Bonus of having to fit into a dress while breastfeeding is I actually have cleavage.
7. Not so fun part of having to fit in a dress while breastfeeding is that I will have to find a dress that can accommodate various cup sizes throughout the night :-)
8. My goals for this week are to eat as well as I can, exercise every day for at least 20 minutes (hey, gotta start somewhere and that's about all the time I have for now), and check off as many items on my list as possible. And mostly....stay sane and not allow myself to stress out because it really does affect my milk supply.
9. We actually FINALLY found out this last week that we are officially moving beginning of March and they finally assigned us housing. Yippy skippy because now I can actually go and buy some furniture since I know we can use it.
10. We pack out in a week and a half so not much time to get a lot of stuff done!
I have been reading lots of blogs while feeding in the middle of the night and randomly throughout the day during feedings. But i haven't been commenting much....just know I've been reading! It helps keep me somewhat motivated that maybe, just maybe, I'll get back into the swing of things running wise.
Oh, did I mention that we'll have a HUGE park only 5 minute walk from our apartment? Totally psyched about that.

Hey!!! give yourself a break.. My goodness it hasn't been too long and you'll back back to where you were in no time. I remember doing a similar post where I had no time and wanted to cry because I couldn't get time to workout. It all is coming together.. slowly. ANd it will for you too. Thinking a good thought for everything. They are adorable!
That is awesome that your little girl slept for that long at night. I must admit that I am jealous :) No such luck with Adelaide sleeping like that.
I know EXACTLY how you feel about the weight. I am worried that I am destined to be 20lbs over weight for the rest of my life.
Yea for sleep! Totally get the hotel room - I think I've said the exact same thing to my husband. : ) I was a little impatient about weight too but it does come off (my clothes mostly fit again at ~5 months out) and if you have to wait until Paris to get back into regular running, what more beautiful place?
Post when you can! Excited for you guys and I hope all goes smoothly!
