I fed my kids and myself waffles for dinner tonight.  Not homemade waffles, which are superior to anything else in every way except prep time/effort.  We ate Eggo waffles for dinner, with syrup on top.  Not pure [...]

I had my first prenatal doctor appointment this morning.  I got to have an early ultrasound to measure the age of the baby, it’s size, etc., and it looks like I’m twelve weeks along and the due date is January 7th (or 5th, depends on which measurement we go with).  Hey, if we go by [...]

When I’m not pregnant I very rarely take naps.  Why?  1) Because I don’t really get that tired during the day.  2) Because even if I am that tired it’s hard to figure out how to get the kids to both go to sleep at the same time or be in an otherwise safe state [...]

This morning I took two kids to the doctor with me so I could get a physical.  It was an adventure!  It was the first normal, healthy, no babies, regular doctor (not an OB) physical I’ve had in I don’t know how long.  The doctor (someone I’d never seen before) seemed a little [...]

I took the kids to see a local pediatrician this morning.  It took me a long time to choose one and make an appointment, partly because I kept hoping I’d get someone to recommend a good one to me who takes our insurance.  People have recommended a couple of good ones, but they don’t take [...]

This morning marked 10 days in a row of exercising 30 minutes or more every day.  As I hopped into the shower afterward, I thought to myself that taking a shower is so much nicer when I have to do it for a reason other than having been smeared with something by one my kids.  [...]

Wow, I have had a great week! I’m not boasting, really, but I have great cause to celebrate and happiness loves company as much as misery ever did.
As of today, I’ve exercised eight days in a row (excluding Sundays) for 30 minutes or more each time. I don’t think I’ve done that even [...]
