Brain Dump

I have 3 more pounds of baby weight to lose. I think it will take about 5 to 10 more pounds for ALL of my clothes to fit. Let’s face it after having a baby your body doesn’t go back to the way it was. I’ve accepted that and it’s cool. A big thumbs up to weight watchers online for helping me get this far.

I have got to join a gym, if for nothing other than my sanity. I quit the YMCA back in February because I was no longer able to work out or just didn’t feel like it honestly. It was a waste of money. I am thinking of joining the Leisure Center near our house. The only time convenient for me to go would be first thing in the morning. I am usually up around 5:00 anyways may as well sneak in a workout. The Leisure Center is substantially less expensive than the Y even if Austin & I both joined. As I always tell Austin exercise causes endorphins and endorphins make you happy. 

I’ll be glad when Campbell is 6 months old and can ride in the jogging stroller. I think it will be a fun activity for us to do together after work and by then the heat will have subsided hopefully.

Campbell is hard core teething. Wednesday and Thursday she proceeded to stick my chin in her mouth and chew on it. I thought she was being sweet and giving me sugar until she started grinding down with those gums. She is drooling like crazy and always has her hands in her mouth looking for relief.

It’s 23 more days until the start of football season and I couldn’t be more excited. I am only planning to go to a handful of games, but that’s cool. I look forward to snuggling on the couch with Campbell. I only hope one day she will love football as much as her mommy. I have no plans to go to any Clemson games this year. I think Austin is only planning on going to a few.

Campbell was awake for count it 5 ½ hours yesterday without a nap. She was surprisingly pleasant. She was awake from 2:00 until we put her to bed at 7:30.

Austin figured out how much money we would’ve spent on formula if I wasn’t breastfeeding. I think in a year we would’ve spent about $2600. I plan to pump for as long as my body allows. I know it’s the best thing for Campbell. The first goal was 6 months, now I am hoping for a year. We will see!

We have no plans this weekend other than church and I am beyond excited to do nothing.

Emma’s birthday is next week; I cannot believe our sweet girl will be 5 years old!
