Saturday is here and Daddy is home from work. Tucker slept pretty well - but he has started adding an extra wake up again in the night. Still down until about midnight - but now up at 2:30ish, 4:30ish, and again at 6:30 - but then I do get to sleep until 6:30 instead of him getting up at 2:30ish and then 5:30 - and staying up. So, who knows! He is now napping for longer than he normally does during the day. Usually it is about 20-45 minutes here and there. He has now been down since about 10:15 and it is 11:30! He is 3 months and should be having a growth spurt at some point (since I have learned babies don't read the books and do what they are supposed to do when they are supposed to do it!) So maybe that is the extra feeding and sleeping now. He is a cutie pie though no matter what!
I am trying to now get motivated to start working out again. It is hard after not doing a whole lot, but I am eating way too many cookies and sitting on my butt way too much. Summer is here - cannot even think about wearing a bathing suit - Ha! Nope! So, I am hoping I can start a bit of running on the weekends when Andrew is home, and try to do some indoor stuff during the week while Tucker is napping. He watched me do some yoga the other day - I have a great yoga DVD that makes you sweat, but I can't do it every day - I get bored easily. But I gotta do something cause I am going to start being unhappy with myself/body/etc if I don't. I know - 9 months to put this weight on - 9 months to take it off - but you gotta start somewhere right?
My Dad and his wife will be here Tuesday - so I can probably get a little running in the next 2 weeks as well while they are around. Get up, feed Tucker, pass him off, go for a jog. I just need to get a jumpstart, then I will be back in a groove and go from there.
Then, I will be home to visit everyone in just over 8 weeks! I cannot wait! It has been tough. I looked at a friend's FaceBook page a couple days ago and saw her pictures froma little bit ago of when she gave birth and all the friends visiting in the hospital, etc. I missed that. Tucker has missed that. You all have missed that. I am a little sad that all of you have not gotten to meet him yet - but you will soon and that will be wonderful! I have had such amazing support and love from so many of my friends and family. That has what has gotten us through. I have felt very alone at times. I have Andrew and Tucker - but Andrew goes to work for about 11 hours a day and Tucker, well, doesn't talk much;) Don;t get me wrong - I LOVE the amount of time I have gotten with him and know how special this bonding has been for both of us. But I sit in my house, no tv yet, hanging with Tucker, reading books, and going for walks. It sounds lovely, but can get to you after awhile. Need a little more stimulation/interaction at times. I don't know - I can't complain - he is happy and healthy and we are so fortunate to have this experience. I am looking forward to taking him out into London and exploring and sightseeing now that he is getting a little more settled and I am a little less scared of being out with him. I have the whole nursing in public thing down, got his stroller, carrier, and diaper bag - we are good to go.
So, it is a beautiful day outside. Andrew has gone to a coworkers house to pick up a bike he is borrowing for the next year and a half. He will start biking to work on the Greenway! Saves money and gets him exercise! Then we need to do a few errands. he wants some more summer workshirts, we need a couple new cooking pans, and I just need to get out of the house. Then maybe I will go for a jog this evening and let the boys hang out for a bit.
Have a great weekend all - love you!
