![]() ![]() We’ve made quite a few things in the Instant Pot this week! The first was Skinnytaste’s Chicken Tikka Masala. All that to say – it was not my best run. My favorite time to run is after breakfast has digested – 10-11 am-ish. But I think just having that second meal in my stomach makes me feel that much heavier. And it’s not like I’m eating huge amounts of heavy vegetables or rich comfort foods at lunch. The difference between before lunch runs and after lunch runs a NIGHT and DAY. Mazen biked with me through the neighborhood while I ran. I also went for my longest outdoor run yet – just shy of four miles – while Nona visited with Birch. When Grandma Nona comes over, I think it’s a “treat” to be able to vacuum out the car Also another reason why I love my badass Dyson Absolute! No way I’d be hauling a full-size corded vacuum outside. If I didn’t already own two Miracle Blankets I’d try that combo, but since we have these we’re using them. I did see a video on how to use a receiving blanket to get the same arm layer effect with the Ollie swaddle. Birch is doing great in the Miracle Blanket. Silly Birch figured out how to get his hands out of the Ollie and was waking up often hungrily sucking them (he LOVES his hands, hungry or not!) I have two Miracle Blankets from Mazen’s infancy, and they were the only swaddles that worked for him. It’s been a huge relief to have some baby-free time to get things done around the house.Īlso note the swaddle switch. But overall, he goes to sleep in 5-10 minutes and we’ve gone from 25 minute “non wearing” naps to 1:45 minute naps (on a good day). He often fusses or cries out (very mildly) for a few minutes and I pat his chest or lean in and give him a kiss, sometimes picking him back up for some swaying. I wait until the 1:45 awake time mark and then take him up to the master, turn the white noise on really loud, and swaddle him. Little B has started napping in his bassinet! Shortly after I wrote about how he takes almost all of his naps in the Solly, we started to test the waters with stationary naps. Since we’ve had a box in the house, I dove in. ![]() (I have been pressing him to add some veggies to his recipe for a little extra color, crunch, and nutrition and he has started to add chopped bell pepper!) When I was in high school I used to eat tuna salad with saltines all the time. Thomas makes really delicious tuna salad and made a double batch for lunch. I ordered on the app and did the drive-thru with kids in the car. Did you know Panera delivers now!? We also have one with a drive-thru, which is what I did. The folks from Panera sent me a gift card as a Christmas gift, and I ordered a Fuji Apple Salad (my favorite salad they make) and broccoli and cheese soup on a rainy day. ![]() It’s fun now that I can have unlimited amounts of coffee!! I still don’t go past two mugs in the morning (I can’t do caffeine in the afternoon) but 2 > 1 I had half a cup during the first trimester and inched up to a full cup later on. I was careful about drinking too much coffee while while pregnant. This little dude is just so sweet!! When he’s awake, he’s all smiles.ĭaily Harvest smoothie + coffee x2 in the Yeti mug. ![]()
