I WENT RUNNING!!

I went running for the 1st time today in 14 months. MAN did I need that. I have been building up steam from being nanny-less and without my car for a week and a half, and that run was just about the best thing I could have done.
Had a super good song mix that I made for Ed when he runs, the night air felt so good and cool but not too cold that it hurt my ears (don't your ears hurt when you run in the cold?) and no one was out on the trail. It was so nice to be alone. I only went 3 miles, but I didn't stop, and my legs feel so sore in the best way right now. Super glad I did it.

It is a little bit of an experiment to see if I can do it. I have run after having had my other 2 babies, but only when they were a little older (9 or 10 months) and with Adam still so young & being breast-fed exclusively (well, until tomorrow), the running does a number on my milk production. At least it did when I tried it when the other two were young babies. So- we shall see if it does this time too. I am determined to try to lose some of these baby LBS that are getting really old. We are going to Maui in late April and my goal (we will see how realistic it is!) is to lose 20 lbs by then. Can't cut back a ton on the food, as I (I'm sure you can see a lot of my life revolves around this) will cut back on the milk for Adam too. Soooooooo....I am going to try, but not going to kill myself doing it.

Adam had his 6 month Dr. appt. today and got the green light to start solids- hitting up Whole Foods tomorrow for some baby food!!! Exciting, and should be a fun sight to watch his reaction to anything other than milk!

Update on my other children: Samantha and Sacha are currently OBSESSED with their newfound mobility courtesy of Santa: Barbie Scooter for Samantha, Batman Hot Wheels for Sach. They LITERALLY spend at least 3 hours a day "scootering" and "bike-riding" in our driveway/neighborhood. And this is because I have to LIMIT it to 3 hours a day because I have to take care of Adam too! I love that they love their new vehicles so much- I remember being really crazy about my Hot Wheels and bike when I was their age too.

Meeting up with a new client on Friday, very excited to start helping he and his wife with the search for their first home. :)
