Wow, Is it 2012 already? So much going on this year and in the first few months! My son, Ethan, turns 3 on January 23rd. This in itself is mind blowing to me. He is growing SO fast! Everyday is something new with him. And though not always a pleasant experience, I don't want to miss anything.
Speaking of mind blowing!! I'm halfway through my pregnancy! First half literally flew by. I am very excited to be welcoming a baby girl, Ella Marie, in May. My favorite time of year, spring :)
This morning Ethan and I spent a lot of time outside for the first time in weeks. Which makes me feel pretty cruddy as a mom. We usually spend most of our time outside. But, between the cold weather and the not feeling so great the first few months of pregnancy our time outside had dwindled. I'm happy to say those days are behind us and we can get back to our outdoor nature. Just have to bundle up!
We also went on our first good run in a month! THAT felt amazing!(Todays weather has put me in the mood for a good hike!) What I enjoy the most is how that feeling can snowball into my actions for the rest of the day. From what I eat to my mood. Which I have really needed to "improve" in both of these departments! I'm happy to be back in a good routine and also having my son on a better one as well. Its amazing what a difference healthy meals and snacks and exercise make within my sons attitude as well.
I've been struggeling with this, discipline when it comes to Ethan and his meltdowns. And don't get me started on the pacifier. Were back down to just naptime (when he'll nap) and bedtime. I am hopefull by getting him back to a healthier/cleaner diet (which is what he's been on up until the past 6 months) this will help. Other suggestions are more than welcome!!
So, my goals for now...Stick with daily routines, clean eating for my whole family, not just me. And staying active for the whole family. (oh! on that note, I ordered some prental/postnatal workout and yoga dvds!)
What are some of yours?
