Eagerly anticipating my Amazon order to arrive today! After all of my breastfeeding/pumping woes, I decided the pump I got through insurance (an Ameda) is officially just a dud and ordered a Spectra out of pocket. Fingers crossed this one is way more reliable and efficient. I’ve also got a baby carrier coming, one of those ribbon/fabric kinds, and I’m excited to see how the little guy likes it. B also reeeally wants to dress Pep up like a baby astronaut, so we’ve got a fleece baby NASA suit on its way. 😂
We got out to the park the other day and it was a bit chilly, but nice. Can’t wait until we can do that more often. Like, multiple times a week would be nice. I’m hoping to get in a cardio workout at home today - the first one since delivery - and I’m excited for it. I don’t think a reliable exercise routine is in my near future but I’ll benefit a lot if I can work some more exercise into my days.
I made homemade ranch dressing! Recipe courtesy of @zerocarb - and it’s delicious. Eating raw veggies is so much more inviting when there’s something delicious to dip them in, right?! Baby steps toward healthier eating. Also, a random side note: I never know when to weigh myself these days. I’m up at weird hours so there’s no real “morning” time to wake up and weigh myself where I haven’t drank water semi-recently. Also, pumping will affect my weight too, I imagine. Kind of a silly and unforeseen thing that I just never thought about til now.
Lastly, and on a really weird note (tw: dead animal) two nights ago while I was up with Pep, I heard what I thought was a fox. Super loud dog(ish) screaming noises. It scared me it was so loud. We woke up the next morning to find a giant red shouldered hawk dead on the lawn. I wonder if it picked a fight with a fox and lost. Either way, it’s gigantic, and very cool looking. RIP. Weirdest part: we also had a small bird laying on the porch - presumably it had flown into a window. Two birds in one day? Again I say: weird.
