Mixed Update

Somehow, miraculously, I find myself with empty hands and a few free moments.

I have to vent first.  I strongly dislike it when my weekend days feel just like a regular weekday.  This weekend, Brandon had to be at a Community Business Expo in town to represent our church and he was there from 9am until 2pm, but he left at 7:30am to go to the gym.  He was home for a very short time before we all had to go to a cookout for church.  We had a great time there, but I missed just being able to be home as a family.

So yes, we got gym memberships for our birthdays.  Brandon's birthday was on the 11th and mine isn't until June, but we could get a good deal on a year-long couple's membership to the local gym.  Brandon's dad gave us money toward it and so did my mom - we put up the rest.  Brandon has been going every day at lunchtime and so far I've only been once.  I'll have to go early early early in the mornings or in the evenings after Miles goes to bed.  But I know the extra activity is what I need to lose all of the baby weight.  It's the missing piece from last time, when I still had weight to lose.

Things are getting a little better here at home.  Besides the DVD player that needs to be put higher or into a closet, Miles isn't really getting into things he shouldn't get into while I'm tied up with Spencer.  He is being really good about bringing me books and sitting quietly while we read.  Then once I'm done nursing, Spencer goes into his little bouncy seat or onto a blanket and Miles and I will play with blocks or the Aquadoodle or something else.  I'm having a little trouble getting Spencer back to sleep though.  He likes to fall asleep while he's nursing but then wakes up when I put him down.  I'm still not able to nurse him in the Moby wrap, or I would do that.

Spencer goes back to the doctor tomorrow and hopefully he won't have to go again until his 2 month visit.  I know he has gained, I'm just hoping it has been "enough."

I have towels to fold and diapers to wash, so that's all for now.
