Adventures with Breanna

Breanna and I are doing well at getting out of the house. On Monday we went to the grocery store....that is a 1.4 mile walk each way. We did that with the stroller, so that was fun, we got a movie and some waffles (wow, not much, but we needed to get out of the house!)

On Tuesday we walked to Long Lake Park. That is about 1 or miles to the park. It is nice with a small dock that people can go out on, which is fun. There's a trail back in the woods which is much nicer than being on the road.

Wednesday we walked to the library....2.8 miles, now that was killer! Breanna was on my frontpack and then I had a backpack on with all of her supplies in it...talk about shoulder and backache, yuck! But, Breanna was happy, so that's what matters, she loved the walk. We got a library card and checked out some books, cd's, baby sign language video and a workout video that you can do with your baby. (I guess it's supposed to help you get back into shape after having the baby and it's fun for you and the baby, so we're going to try it!)

I was very hot and sweaty by the time we made it to the library and so we decided to walk to the bus station and take the bus home! That was another 1/2 of a mile to the station. Then we waited for awhile for the bus. It came promptly on time, unlike the good old bus in Hawaii :). We got on it and rode home. It was nice and clean, there were just a few weirdos on the bus though, but nothing that we didn't feel safe about.

Today we walked to Long Lake Park again and we are going to go to a park tonight when Rob gets home, Tolmie State Park.

All I have to say, is I better be losing SOME weight from all this walking and carrying Breanna on my frontpack. I'm tired, have sore shoulders, back and legs...and we've been walking some hills, so it must be doing something right?? Now, if I could only stop craving desserts...maybe that would help!

We went to an enrichment group today and I was the only one there besides the group instructor!!! But, she was nice and at least I had someone to talk to, that was fun! Hopefully more will go next week, it's a humanitarian service group that makes things like beanies, mittens, etc. for people in different countries that don't have them. I love the idea. I only cut out patterns though b/c I'm not much of a seamstress!!

Well, that's my update. Breanna is doing well, babbling away, it's great fun. And......the best news of all.....she's sleeping from 8PM - 6AM!!!!!!! Without any feedings!!!!!!!!! I feel WONDERFUL! Hopefully she'll keep it up, b/c these last few nights have been heavenly.
