The sun is finally shining! I can hardly believe it. I finally have some hope for spring and then, very soon: summer!!! EEeeeeee!!!
I'm ready to plant seeds, slather sunscreen all over my sweet baby and play in the dirt. I think he's going to love it too. He's a little small this year to fully enjoy all the garden has to offer. He will be able to get acquainted this year and then next year; look out worms, dirt, creek, puddles, and pups!
I'm also ready to start exercising and lose this baby weight. I think I'm going to have to start a schedule or it's never going to happen. I keep saying (only to myself) that I'll exercise tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow. Naturally, it doesn't' happen.
I need a schedule. I've always been better at completing a task when I have a deadline. I think maybe I'll start setting the alarm in the morning and going to exercise before Ben goes to work. That way Ben can feed Harvey (I've been pumping and Harvey will take a bottle from his dad) and I can exercise (and maybe wake up and gain a little more energy).
I'm so tired all the time. I can't say that I'm terribly surprised by this, since I have a tiny new baby. I don't wake Ben up at night to feed or change Harvey -amazingly, he doesn't wake up when Harvey fusses, so he gets lots of sleep at night. Therefore, I won't feel too bad to let him take over while I get some exercise in the morning.
I'm not thinking of going nuts and running miles and miles every morning. Its been a long time since I've done any kind of exercise, so I don't think I could do a whole lot, even if I wanted to. I think I'll take the dog with me, do a couple laps around the island, which is probably about a mile or so, and do some lunges and sit-ups when we get home.
I'm not planning on wearing a two piece this summer, on the other hand, I don't want to feel too bad to get into a swim suit at all. Therefore, I need to get with the program and get moving.
Next, I'll have to change my diet and stop eating all the fat and sugar I love so very much.
baby steps...right?
p.s. He's so worth it:

Oh Heather, he is so beautiful. I wish I could tell you that someday you will sleep and it will be fantastic, sadly, I can't. Some people say they can, I think they are just trying to sound cooler than me. I love you so much. I bought you more presents to not mail.... I really should mail them soon.
toasty;
I believe it; I'll never get a full night's sleep ever again. I hate it. Oh well. what can I do? fight it? Oh, I know someone who says her kid sleeps through the night, and he's only six weeks old....seems strange, no? I think she is either drugging the baby or lying about his sleeping.
p.s. no one is cooler than you!
