--Derek has his PFT coming up at the end of July, so we are using that as a good excuse to start exercising more! We've been doing lots of runs as a family with our new double jogging stroller. This is the first I've been exercising since I found out I was pregnant with Hadley last July..yikes! It's taken me a bit to get my endurance my back, but I'm slowly getting there! The girls don't particularly love being in the stroller, but they both really like listening to music. So as long as we have music playing for them, we are good to go! It's been fun to be exercising again..I had forgotten how good it makes you feel!
--My postpartum hair loss is in full swing, so that's been fun...NOT!
--We started sleep training Hadley on June 30th, and it's amazing the amount of progress we've made in just a little over a week. It's done wonders for the whole family! I'll update you on Hadley's progress in her 4 month post..hard to believe she will be 4 months old next week! Yikes!
--Speaking of training, I can't believe I haven't mentioned it on the blog before...but Miss Shelby pretty much potty trained herself recently. We are still doing diapers for naptime & bedtime, but she is doing an AMAZING job! If only I could have told myself back in January how easy potty training could be if we waited until Shelby was ready..because it has seriously been so much easier than I ever imagined it could be! {Knock on wood! Ha!} I'll have to do a post on this soon!
--My sister is coming to visit next week, and we're so excited to see her!
--We had 2 big trips this past fall/winter: Germany/London & Punta Cana. On each of these trips, I lost a prized possession. While we were in Germany, my Chi {my beloved hair straightener} died. Of course, it was impossible to replace while we were there, which made for some not-so-fun hair days. But it was quick & easy to replace once we were back home with the day after Thanksgiving sales. But while packing for our trip to Punta Cana, I lost something of much more value...the pearl ring that Derek gave to me as my wedding gift. I'm still not sure how or where I lost it, but I was devastated. I loved that ring and wore it every single day. For our 6th anniversary, Derek replaced the ring for me! I'll be so happy to have it back on my hand soon! It is currently en route to us, and I'm so excited! {On a separate but related note, Derek gave me a pair of diamond earrings in college, and I lost one of them. Derek told me after the pearl ring incident that he's going to stop buying me jewelry if I can't stop losing it...oops!}
--We started swim lessons for Shelby last week at the Kroc Center. We will have lessons every Tuesday & Thursday evening throughout the month of July.
--Two of my current pet peeves: never being caught up with laundry {between a baby & a toddler, there is always more laundry to be done} & when people "reply all" to text messages...I hate having my text message inbox full of messages that aren't intended for me! First world problems, I know ;)
--Last week, the girls & I visited the Institute for Marine Mammal Studies with a few of our friends from playgroup.
