Linnea had her one month check-up yesterday. She's up 1.7 pounds for a total of 8 pounds 8 ounces. She's grown a quarter of an inch and gone up a size in diapers. She's been cleared for her first real bath. Matilda, who tends to wake up around 6:15 but slept till after 7 two days ago and was this morning demanding breakfast by 5:45, was only 7 pounds 8 ounces at two months old. Yesterday it was 7 degrees outside. This morning it was 6. I've had to take my 11 minute miles to the treadmill, but at least its allowed me to run one mile straight through. I've got 3 months to get back in shape for my first 5k since last October. I'm down 5.5 pounds at one month postpartum.

You're really doing great. You're a complete inspiration for me that I CAN do my triathlon when the kid is out. Can and will.

well, I'm glad you think I'm doing great. I'm really having a hard time coming to terms with just how long it's going to take these 20 pounds to go away. Buh. But, you can totally do the triathlon. Don't forget to tell me all about it!

jazz was never in our bed, nor did she have a playpen, or a binky. i guess i was a hard ass. for the health of your married life, it's probably best to get the kids sleeping where they belong. i've read some nice reports about the family bed, but to me? kids need to have space that belongs to them, and should not intrude on mom & dad. whenver i babysat, sparky's niece climbed into our bed. i felt like you. it was special. every time she came over, i encouraged her to sleep in the big girl room. she did. except for one time when she came crying in the night, and of course i let her in. i'm not that hard.

And see, it's people saying things like this: "for the health of your married life, it's probably best to get the kids sleeping where they belong." that's the reason why where the kids sleep is the biggest secret in parenthood.
