Spring has Been SPRUNG!

So here it Be....Spring is here and I am soooo very happy. Yesterday I was able to take the girlz out for our first "Mommy, Nannie and Izzy" walk. We only did a short stint so Izzy wouldn't freeze her little butt off. We had her double wrapped and in the Bjorn and she slept right through our whole walk. Natalie led the way of course.....and kept me going at a good pace. :) I also went out yesterday evening and did a three mile walk. It was slow as usual but I can tell with each passing day I am moving a little faster. I am trying to hold myself back a little and realize that I am not going to be running for a little while longer....at least until I get the OK from the MD.

One good thing about having two babies....you are constantly on the move. I have noticed that I am eating better and losing some of the excess "baby phat" a little quicker this time around. I feel like we are getting into a nice routine (although I am sure that this will change just as soon as I get comfortable with it). Baby Izzy is eating like a champ and up a few times at night but I honestly don't mind so much. (ask me in like 6 months and maybe I'll have a different story) I know it has been said by Mommys everywhere....and I remember saying it after P-nutt was born....but it feels like baby Izzy has always been a part of our family. I now cannot imagine my life without her. She seems to be a pretty happy teeny weeny and Natalie loves her and is a big help for such a little P-nutt. In the beginning it was a little overwhelming trying to teach her to "be gentle" with her lil sis but I think she is starting to understand a little bit better. Izzy's the big three weeks today! We're cruising right along!

I forgot how many diapers newborns go through....yowsa. I am going to try and focus more on Potty training for Natalie next week. I just wanted to get into the swing of things and not put too much pressure on the P-nutt. WML.

Going to try and go out for another 3 miler tonight. I was going to stick with the two's but since I have been feeling good going further I am going to keep up that pace. I have decided my first race back will be the infamous BLOOMS-day race. It is on May 3rd. I am not sure if I will be able to run all 7 miles by that point but I will sure try. That is in 44 days....and if I have to walk some of it then so be it. At least I have a first goal....and maybe a second. We (poochoo and I) are looking at some races over on the wet side for July or August. I am so excited.....it feels good to be able to move at a quicker pace again.
