Back to the routine


The past 2 weeks have been quite busy with family visits, dr appts, lots of feedings and the onset of the terrible twos. Aunt Devon headed back to Dallas this morning so it's back to the normal routine and I think that will help Hadley alot. She is definitely in the "adjusting" phase. I had a 2 week post op check this morning and all is well, although my dr thinks I am "overdoing" it. Who me? And I can walk "at a snails pace"...I've kind of been doing that for the past week anyway and walking compared to running is "a snails pace" to me!!! I'll take Leighton in tomorrow for her checkup and I look forward to seeing how much she is growing. We aren't doing that great at night yet but hopefully she'll see things my way soon...if I could get just one more hour of sleep I'd be set. I can function better off of 5 hours.

Now that it's just us around here I can start cleaning closets, organizing paperwork, and running errands before I head back to work on August 31st. I am also reading while I nurse so I'll knock out these Sookie Stackhouse books before moving on to Pat Conroy's latest which is due out soon. Then it will be time for some football watching while I train for the Atlanta 1/2 marathon. I can't wait.

Wow - Amanda, just reading your plans for the next few weeks makes me winded - Whew!
Sounds like you are adjusting to 2 very nicely, and that Hadley is entering a very tricky point in her life and that you are on track to helping her handle it smoothly - my best to you all.

So glad to hear that you are doing well. I'm not surprised that you are overdoing it. It's all full speed ahead for you! Take care of yourself, but I know the need to get things done with your "time off". Here's hoping to longer nights for you!
