Around the graveyard before the dark brings the storm. Euan still very sleepy today - hoping we can still make it to his two month appointment tomorrow to discuss a few things. He slept terribly last night so it's probably just that. Was trying to poop all night and despite bicycle legs and tummy pushes nothing was coming out. It did come out this afternoon and was happy to see his first normal colored poop after this cold he's had. I was not liking the idea of a milk protein allergy...

This morning we went to Beverly Tree Farm to cut down our first family Christmas tree. Hopefully the start of a new tradition! We also have a fantastic tree outside that is the perfect shape for lights - not going to hang them till this weather has come through though!

It's December?! How the hell did that happen?

More MommaStrong. My mid back is tight and on the edge of sore.

Got well togged up and headed out to Breakheart to make the most of the sunshine before this big storm blows in. Great loop for the stroller on the roads there, and it felt a lot shorter than the last time we walked it, so I guess I'm feeling a bit more human. Euan slept from 9pm (ratchety evening) to 4 am last night with only one wakening from me to settle him. This was good! He really loves baths and they chill him out from the witching hour, but then he hates getting dried and dressed and gets wound up again which makes the final feed of the day tricky. Any hints?! Maybe we need to change the order of things.

I forgot to say - we're properly into smile territory now. It's pretty amazing! He still hates tummy time with a passion though.

Momma Strong actual work out Day 2. My pelvic floor feels so weird. Not necessarily bad, just weird. Hope my physio appointment isn't cancelled on Monday!

I put Euan into the bouncer so he could watch while I did my work out and had to bounce with one hand for the first couple of mins, then he fell fast asleep.

Very short walk because it was a lot colder and windier out there than I thought it was.

Thanksgiving graveyard loop. Lots of families out not wearing enough layers, myself included!

Walked into town and tried out the hot chocolate shop which wasn't that great but now I know! Also treated myself to a new winter hat which has a furry bobble and came home in a paper bag with handle. At home it was on the table when Rosie decided to try to catch the furry bobble and got her head stuck in the handle. She raced around the whole house with the bag on
her head crashing into everything trying to get it off, making a huge noise, then eventually settled whimpering into the basement corner where Rob pulled it off her head and got spat at. What an idiot.

Can't remember where this was but my watch says I did something!

2 walks today - one in the morning to get coffee and breakfast with Rob, then another in the graveyard just before sunset wearing Euan. My back is pretty stiff after most of yesterday was spent in bed because he was very unhappy at napping anywhere else but on me. We took him to the doctor yesterday because he was so unhappy, but it's just a nasal congestion type cold and nothing to worry about. He did an amazing big green poo while there which totally stank, but luckily we're back to normal again today, and he slept surprisingly well.

MommaStrong Day 2 - short glute activation session. Bizarrely tough. Could do with some yoga time to stretch out the back but sounds like Mister is waking again and Rob isn't home yet...
