Blog Guilt

Ok ok...I am SOOOO sorry it's been WAY too long since I've entered a real post. I am back, though and hope to keep the blog going strong now that I'm ... gasp...back at work.

I'm not going to go on and on about what's been happening lately...obviously, my life has been consumed by the amazing being known as Kate...but here are a few details to recap:

1. Kate is now 3 months 1 week and two days old and she is more and more incredible each day.

2. I have become addicted to Facebook. It is crack. Don't get sucked in if you haven't already.

3. My weight on the scale is only 5 pounds off of my pre-pregnancy weight. So why don't my pants fit yet?

4. Kate has a babysitter who comes on Tuesday and Thursday mornings so mommy doesn't have to rush home from work and so I can nap or go to the gym. It's working out well.

5. As I mentioned above, I am back to work. Let me tell you, it's rough. I love being back, but the schedule is murder. I am now getting up at 12:45 a.m. to nurse Kate before I hop into the shower and go to work by 2. Kate isn't a great napper yet, so I rarely get some shut-eye during the day. I'm also going to bed later than I was pre-Kate. She goes to sleep at 7 p.m. (we have a half hour routine before that...bath, jammies, story, massage, etc.), so I can be asleep shortly after, but it just isn't enough.

6. I have discovered new love for my husband. Not that I didn't love him before, but the way he is with Kate makes me a thousand percent happy in so many ways. It is truly amazing, the love I feel for the two of them. He gets her up each morning (cuz I'm at work) and dresses her and feeds her and the two of them have developed quite a bond. He LOVES his mornings with her...it's so cute. I am so lucky.

SO, now that you're semi-updated, here starts the blog as it was...with daily anecdotes:

Yesterday was near 70°...IN FEBRUARY! So our little friend Libby and her mommy came over and we went for a REALLY long and REALLY hilly walk (glutes are sore today). It was the first time that I had Kate outside without a winter hat on and she LOVED the feeling of the wind in her hair. She had her little sunglasses on and kept them on the whole time. She loved the walk.

We also got to meet the newest neighbor on the block...Logan Michael Bock. He was born on Sunday...yes this past Sunday...and his mommy and daddy had him out for a walk. Amazing! He is so cute and I can't wait until he's old enough for us to all play. He also has more hair than I've ever seen on a baby. Way cute. I'll effort a picture so I can post it.

Ok, well that's it for now. I am back on the blog bandwagon...I hope you'll forgive me for my absence.
