So, as I was outside watering my plants and my next door neighbor told me I needed to write some more mommy dairies. It’s been a while since I have really sat down and written a play by play in the world of Tyson. It’s not that I don’t love you guys, and you know I LOVE to write, but it has been crazy town up in my household! Baby has officially woken up from his 1st month daze…you know where they sleep most of the time…eat every 2 hours then pass back out…well, he has spread his wings to fly in his new world now! He is a busy man…I can already see it now…he is going to want to work for the media just like mommy when he grows up. It’s funny…I tell people he has places to go and people to see everyday…and now that I think about it, he does! We have, somewhat, of a schedule going on, but really, how much of a schedule can you put a 7 week old baby on? He runs this show right now and I just take notes and follow his lead. He lets me know exactly what he needs and when he needs it. The coolest thing right now is the little sounds he is making…who knew a little ‘ahhh’ or ‘ohhh’ could make your heart melt and laugh hysterically at the same time. I cannot wait until he can talk to me…you know, we’ll talk about the latest and greatest and hopefully he will have a little attitude like me (well, not as much, but a little pep in his step!) I wonder what his first word will be? Hopefully ma-ma, yeah…ma-ma sounds good to me.
As far as our days, we spend a lot of time up and awake during the day, which is fine with me if that means he will sleep more at night. We have all the basics down: stretch time, play time on our baby Einstein mat (you know he’s my future genius!), swing time, sling time (totally different than swing time), stroller walks with the dogs, stop by the local coffee shop for our latte, moses basket naps, feedings, changing those beautiful,colorful diapers, and LOTS of laundry (he likes the sound of the washing machine). Now that I got the green light to work out, I have been a woman on the move trying to get this baby weight off! Now, don’t get me wrong, I am NOT being hard on myself because I realize how long it takes to really get back in shape. With that being said, the only women who achieve that size 2 are the ones who had plastic surgery or a personal trainer and probably a personal chef. Well, money isn’t growing on my tree out back, so I’ll have to go with the self-determination program. I have realized if you find something you really love to do, hiking, swimming, walking, etc…do it. Every little bit counts and you have to start somewhere, right?
That always seems to be the hardest part…getting started. I have a new philosophy: just do it! If you spend too much time thinking about it and over analyzing, there goes the time that you could have just made it happen. I don’t know about you, but I don’t have that kind of time to let my thoughts become too overwhelming. You know who you are…if it’s you just stop it…it’s madness I say…madness! On that note, Grandpa is coming over for a little TLC with Baby Tyson and I am hitting the swimming pool. This weight will not just magically disappear! Energy time…here we go! As always, make it a good one! -Carmen
