1. We bought a shaved ice stand...on a whim... I shit you not. A friend of ours was told one was for sale and he and his wife asked us if we would want to buy it with them. We said yes. Within a matter of like 48 hours we were the proud owners of B.omber Shaved Ice. Ummm...yeah. I'll do a post with more about it later!
2. I am currently making 20 gallons of simple syrup in my kitchen....for above mentioned shaved ice stand. 20 GALLONS!!! Just please imagine how messy and sticky that is, just for a second....
3. I think we have turned the corner and Blakely has decided that it is ok to eat stuff off of a spoon. She was a hater at first but yesterday she actually leaned in for some carrots...SUCCESS!!
4. We are going to the beach in a few weeks and I am pumped! I have so much to do to get ready but it is all fun stuff. Bathing suits (for her, not me...dear God), beach toys, pool toys, outfits, etc.
5. Speaking of bathing suits, I decided to try to find one for me the other day. I actually didn't think it would be that hard. I was kind of excited because I weigh about 7 pounds less than I did when I got pregnant and my boobs rock right now. Well it sucked hard core. I had so many issues...let me just run them down for ya. My tummy is just squishy...it is sort of flat but really a squishy mess. Not to mention the stretch marks, but I am past caring about those. So I wanted some bottoms that were pretty low so they wouldn't cut into the squish. I thought I could just get one of those "young adult" bikinis that ride low. And since I have boobs now the top wouldn't matter, right? Wrong....the tops made my boobs look saggy WTF? SO then I tried on the more "mommy type" bikinis. You know the ones that come up higher on the tummy and have like a serious structured contraption in the tops? Well those squished my squish. Shit..... The whole situation was the highest form of torture. Oh and small sidenote...the bikini is only for our trip, with family, to the beach...not for days on the lake. I will be rockin' a tankini/one piece if there is even the slightest possibility of seeing someone I know.
6. I am so upset that P.icnik is closing....sad day I tell ya...
7. My boobs have finally stopped leaking enough to where I don't have to sleep in my bra and nursing pads. YAY! I wake up a little wet but it isn't terrible. Funny story about boobs real quick. I babysat my friend's 11 day old baby for a couple hours the other day. I just got finished feeding Blakely and little Jayda got hungry. I was holding J as I was heating up her bottle. She was rooting around on my shirt like crazy and guess what happened? My milk let down.... It was pretty funny...but I was a little embarrassed so I didn't say anything to anyone. Except now the entire internet...
8. TMI warning....but sex still hurts, y'all!!! UGH! It is nothing like it was right after I had B but it still hurts. Not the whole time, just for a bit in the beginning. I'm starting to wonder if it will ever be back to normal....
Happy Thursday!

Ha! I was goung to say the exact same thing as Courtney! And, preseed as a lube for now, works wonders.
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way about bathing suits. Nothing looks good, even though I've lost weight. My body is saggy and stretched to hell. Oh well, totally worth it to have Aiden, but I will be hiding under one pieces and cover-ups this summer :-)
ReplyDelete1. I don't even want to think about putting on a swim suit, gross.
ReplyDelete2. Sex still hurts me too but I don't think it's a lube issue (hello TMI)
3. Shaved ice- hells yeah!
You guys are all about amazing TVT posts lately.
ReplyDelete1) Please post about your new shaved ice business venture.
2) You look amazeballs. I couldn't even imagine what I'd look like in a bikini. And I didn't get a single stretch mark.
3) Ready for some real TMI? Sexy time for us has been amazing since Tay. Sure we took it really slow at first, but now it's good. We have to be careful, because Tay does not need a little brother or sister anytime soon.
4) Oh, and Picnik closing bites! I forced myself to learn photoshop. Bah.
So many things . . . .
ReplyDelete-yuck my tummy is the same. I weight less, but it is not pretty. Target has some really cute one pieces.
-sex still hurts for me too, they stitched me up tight. It is getting better but the first minute or so, not fun. I hope it gets better.
-Yay for the beach! We are going in three weeks! A has like 6 bathing suits. Ridiculous, but they are so cute and lord knows I have zero desire to buy them for myself!
I just went to the doctor about sex still hurting. Scar tissue. Physical therapy. Yes, it's true.
ReplyDeleteSex was pretty uncomfortable for me too while breast feeding...when you're done with that your body should get it's hormones straight! :)
