Throwback Thursday -- taken about June of last year
- I had my postpartum visit with my OB earlier this week. With Finn in daycare still due to $$ in my FSA account, I took Fish. (Just quickly, our hospital has an on-call OB. When you go into labor, you get one of the 25+ OBs on our side of the city. I was lucky enough to have my OB deliver Finn. And I was only 8 hours away from having him deliver Fish. If only, he didn't come so fast... But he came and visited me in postpartum during a lull in his deliveries.) Of course, Fish wasn't cooperating and crying. But my OB is so wonderful that he took Fish out of his carseat and walked him around his offices while I was getting dressed. Is it weird that I'm really sad that I'm not going to be seeing him again until next year? In fact, I told him that I was sad I wasn't going to be seeing him on a monthly or weekly basis anymore. And I told him that I just might make an appointment to visit him during the next 12 months. I'm really going to miss seeing him so frequently.
- I have started exercising on Monday (today is Thursday) and I've already lost 2 pounds! I didn't work out on Tuesday due to Fish's toe situation. My ultimate goal is going to be to work out before the kids gets up in the morning. But right now with Toegate, he is up daily at around 3pm and usually really fussy & sleeping lightly until about 7am. Eventually he is going to be sleeping in the morning and I hope to work out at 6am, so that I can shower & get ready while E is still home. I'm also hoping for the weather to warm so we can get out and walk the dog and kids daily which will help get me moving. My initial goal weight is only 15 pounds away (which is my pre-pregnancy with Fish weight), which will get me back into my old clothes. My ultimate goal weight is 10 lighter than that. And I'll continue to work towards that after I have reached my initial goal.

- I'm still back and forth about staying at home or returning to work. I've decided that I'm going to make a pro/con list for each and hope that subconsciously I am leaning one way. I think that seeing my return to work date on our household calendar really shocked me and made me realize that I only have four weeks left. Womp womp.
- I've forgotten what some of the parts of my house look like because it seems like forever since I've been in those rooms. I used to clean every section of my house at least once a week. Ha! There are things that haven't been cleaned in MONTHS! Once I got to the part of pregnancy where I was too huge to bend over, all the cleaning stopped. Once Fish gets big enough to sit in a bumbo and entertain himself, I'll be doing some serious deep cleaning. If I stay home, I've already thought of all the projects that I have mentally listed that I wanted to finish this summer.

- One of those projects? I want to have my own garden. Am I crazy? Absolutely! Not only due to the time needed to tend the garden but also for the herd of deer that live in our neighborhood. I haven't figured out how to keep out the deer, squirrels, woodchucks, skunks, opossums, and raccoons yet. But with the way that this gosh-darn spring is going, I'll have PLENTY of time to think about it as I won't be able to plant anything for months yet.
- I've also forgotten what it's like to turn up the music in the kitchen, get a glass of wine and just dance to crazy music. Finorah and I used to do it all the time. I mean, hell... How could we forget this video?
