Having Kevin at home for two full days to help out with our son is amazing. I’m still very much in the stage where I’m pretty much afraid to take my eyes off the baby at all… and with good reason! There’s always somebody lurking…
The dogs are pretty sweet with EJ so far, but I still don’t want to leave them alone in a room with him. Especially since if he cries, they want to console him/shush him by licking his entire body. Plus Kevin is still excelling in the areas of diaper changing and baby dressing so he’s great to have around :). I’ll surpass him one of these days just with the sheer volume of practice I get to do on weekdays!
On Friday night, we took Edmund out for pretty much the first time!! Except for appointments at the midwifery and the pediatrician, we’ve been staying home. I’m the biggest homebody ever, but even I was a little excited to leave the house after over two weeks. EJ wore his festive CF Vantage onesie that our coaches gifted to us. Awwwwaaaa….
Edmund and I watched Kevin compete in the CrossFit Open’s 15.2 (which was the same as last year’s 14.2). We were so proud… Kevin TRIPLED his score from last year, earning 31 reps and making in through a full round of chest-to-bar pull-ups! Of course, that’s the point. Fitter than last year! EJ slept soundly the entire time in his little Ergo (thanks Deidre!!). I highly recommend the Ergo as part of your fourth trimester wardrobe. It’s very strategically placed. Haha. :)
I had to look up my score from last year after I got home to see if I beat Kevin… CrossFit couples… lol.
I scored 33 last year — got him by 2 reps!! Although there’s no way I could do that today. That’s going to take a while to get back. And no, I’m not making any attempts to be hasty with my CrossFit comeback. I’ll still be spectating for at least another month, if not longer. I get out of breath from unloading the dishwasher so I know it’s going to be a long road back….. I wouldn’t be surprised if it took me longer to pick up some of the skills than it did the first time around. Especially since I don’t have unlimited pull-up and double under practice time at home anymore…
On Saturday morning, after a few rounds of naps and feedings, we decided to be brave and go to coffee at the Noshery. Kevin and I were starving so we also tried their yogurt & granola. So delicious.
I tried to get a picture with Edmund, but he was not into the idea of looking at the camera. He kept whipping his head around to stare at me. So sweet!!!! Mama’s boy. :)
I love my baby!
We spent the rest of the weekend taking care of EJ, running errands, and going for a few short family walks. The bad news is that Kevin is back at work today. The good news is that my mom is coming tomorrow! Hooray!!!! Hope you had a great weekend! :)
