October Catchup - the first

Well I abashedly have some catching up to do. The short of it is that things have been going great - even if the days themselves seem like a bit of a struggle. Forrest through the trees, right? The highlights:

• Breastfeeding is going well, and we're even pumping to store up for a night out (and daycare next month)
• Managing two is a bit of a challenge, but having two children is absolutely incredible (and amazing, and all the synonyms that can't begin to express how happy my children make me ... everyday i squeal at least once with absolute glee).
• I'm watching a lot of TV
• I have not yet starting on my house projects (which makes me sad)
• I have started reading a new book series (the Ice and Fire series - currently reading Game of Thrones, it's so good and quite like the HBO series)
• I can't wait to go running and back to the gym

Beyond that, we've been having aot of fun as the holidays have officially started. I've queued up a couple of posts for what I'm calling the "October Catchup". Here is the first entry:

I have a bad back; its been that way since high school. Chiropractors were like a drug to me- and the only real help is going to the gym to strengthen my (very weak) abs and back. So I was quite sad when the baby carrier (the Jeep carrier) we had for McNugget didn't work - it pulled way too much on me. But McMuffin likes to be held; a lot. I wasn't geting anything done, so my friend mentioned that she would loan me her Moby wrap when she saw me next. That was going to be a while so I hit up Craigslist and scored one for $10 (they originally sell for $50) from a lady around the corner who hadn't sold it at her yard sale.

And I love it!! I had to watch a Youtube video to learn how to wear it, but it really doesn't pull at all once I got it right. And McMuffin's a big boy! So take a look on Craigslist if you're in the market for one; it's wonderful!
