All Sorts of Random…

My mind is all sorts of jello, just like this post:
1. My house has been taken over by someone who weighs a mere 7 (and something) pounds…how has this happened? Walk in our front door and you’ll find her stroller, car seat, diaper bag, activity mat, bassinet, bouncy seat, and a changing station all in our formal living room-glamorous, huh? We are turning into Babies R Us around here.

2. Weather in Nashville has been absolutely amazing…we took little bit on another walk around the neighborhood this weekend, which was a success, and Jeff and I plan on doing it as much as possible. We may not be able to take her out to “public outings” yet {our doctor recommended no mass public interaction for 4 weeks}, but we can certainly take little drives/walks here and there to get some vitamin D.

3. The house has smelled like a florist ever since we came home from the hospital…from friends, family, and work colleagues sending such gorgeous arrangements, it has been so pleasant to have happy flowers all around our abode as of late.

4. I am itching, and I mean itching to get back into the gym. I’ve got hand weights that I try to use every other day or so to keep my arms in check, but my legs are ready to be put back into motion. I am hoping I can inch my way back there soon because I need some 1-on-1 meditation time with the treadmill…gosh I have missed it so much!
As for those of you that have inquired about the pound lossage so far, as of this morning, I have lost 20 of the 29 pounds I gained with little bit. Honestly, I can’t believe it has fallen off so quickly…some I blame to my lackluster appetite and my inability to eat when I have a free moment, but I am happy with the progress so far. Everyone keeps telling me the last 8-10 pounds are the hardest to get off so we’ll start working on that soon!

5. Opry Mills has officially reopened! Bring on the spring time shopping…JCrew Outlet, BCBG, Michael Kors, Janie and Jack, Off Fifth-good thing someone’s stroller has more than adequate storage space for shopping bags!

6. DVR is my new best friend..once I get peanut down for naps, I get to catch up on all my favorite shows that I’m not able to watch during regular hours-thank you technology for keeping this non-sleeping mother semi-sane ;).

7. Another Monday, which means another new week of my new “routine”. I’m excited about all sorts of activities this week…my grandparents coming over to watch Caroline so I can get my hair done, CC’s 2 week checkup, my new blog design being installed, and then Easter weekend!

Have a great one my friends 😉
