These feet were made for walkin'
Ok.... maybe not those feet... not yet ;-)
Baby Girl and I have picked up where we left off July 12th before she was born, and are now walking 3 miles a day - at least that's what we walked yesterday and today (after watching the Seahawks lose :-().
Having her now eating on average every 3 hours instead of every 2 has opened up a whole new world of "freedom" to me - it means I can get in the car with her and drive to Bothell and walk for 3 miles on the trail and drive back and still get home with time to spare until her next feeding. It means I can go on a real shopping spree instead of sprinting to the grocery store (of course, these days we're just window shopping ;-)). It means I get to sleep for 2.5 hour stretches at night between feedings. It means I can read an entire magazine while soaking leisurely in the bathtub in the evening and not have to rush my "me" time in order to be ready for when she wakes up and is ready to eat. Ah... what luxury. Of course, she still throws us for a loop every once in a while. Like yesterday and this morning she's been a tad ravenous. But for the most part she's kinda keeping to this schedule.
Anyway - 3 miles ain't bad for 5 1/2 weeks postpartum, if I do say so myself. And it's nice getting out of the house and into the fresh air (in the shade; that's why I've been going to Bothell. It's got the shadiest part of the trail). It's helped that the weather's been cooler too.
