So, it's Friday! Woohoo! I want to get some things off my chest, I'm a little embarrassed - but life isn't always perfect and I don't want you to think we've got everything figured out. I need to confess some things from our life lately:
1. Charlotte is STILL sleeping in our bed....I had lofty goals for May - and getting Charlotte back in her crib was one of them. Now, I know it is only May 15th - but, it's also already May 15th! haha Well, we're getting better at establishing a night time routine that we do each night and she does a great job going to sleep in her crib, it's the middle of the night where we have issues. Honestly - I have issues. When Charlotte wakes up anytime between 11pm and 2am I really don't have the patience to put her back in her crib and in my weakness she ends up in our bed. Every. Night.
2. 30/30 Running Program - Ugh, another May goal that is failing to lift off - I did the 30/30 thing once and then personal things came up and I couldn't force myself out the door. So today's the day then right?! Hopefully I can get at least 30/15 done in May!
3. Ravenous Hunger and Cheat Meals - I would like to fully admit that I am not, have never been, and probably will never be a good eater - I have no self control. When I'm hungry I don't care what it is, I gotta eat. And nothing has made me more hungry than nursing. Seriously - I have never been more starved for food in my entire life, including the 9 months of pregnancy. It is a big deal. I'm hungry all. the. time. So confession - I feel like the drive thru lady at Chick-Fil-A probably knows my name by now and my order for breakfast and lunch. Terrible. I gotta get a hold of this.
4. Taylor Swift - It is so embarrassing, but I cannot stop listening to Taylor Swift's album. Love it.
5. Supplementing - This is not really a bad thing but my Mommy Guilt is working hard on me. Today we started supplementing with formula. Over the past month its been really challenging for me to get enough milk pumped during the day for Charlotte's next day at her sitters, much less be able to store any up for our once a month date night when she stays at my parents. So, in an effort to keep her little belly full and my blood pressure down - we're adding in some formula. I'm still nursing when she's with me and pumping and giving her that milk but we're adding in a few ounce of formula to each bottle she gets when she's away from me. I know this is not a bad thing. But I feel somewhat defeated.
Well that was fun to get off my chest!
Happy Friday, friends! I hope you have had a great week and are looking foreword to the weekend with your loved ones!
