I was always hitting peak low blood sugar at that time. I had to start eating a granola bar at the start of the class otherwise I would crash and want to puke and it was harder to recover. Oh pregnancy. Wheeee! :)<br /><br />The both times I did an ECFE class, I found the instructor mostly wanted to talk about herself and share her own stories and the rest of us were left wanting to discuss ourselves and our situations more (vs. hearing about teens...) Nice women but the classes were kind of painful and I refuse to do another with Lily as she gets older.<br /><br />Lol to the smoothies before exercise. I would poo myself if I did that, I think. Too much? Yes. Too much.Navigating the Mothershiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02174295191363694422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803341.post-3552479532969879062014-11-02T18:31:26.913-06:002014-11-02T18:31:26.913-06:00Girl, this is impressive!

I'm pretty much down to one activity a day - aside from school, we will do like swim lessons, or the park, or something. And I'd never dare venture out after 4 for an activity. Especially food shopping. Super mom!<br />Also, LOVE the little wake up routine - so precious :) And lastly, your bump is adorable! I don't know if I've ever mentioned this before but I ADORE you son's names. Very much my style. I'm eager to hear what you have chosen for the little lady!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929850176678535570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803341.post-467301934229499532014-11-02T14:22:45.679-06:002014-11-02T14:22:45.679-06:00Ugh, group dynamics.

At some point it is just easier for me to give up trying. <br /><br />Your salad looks delish and love Gus’ drawings. <br /><br />Gilmore Girls! Foot massages at yoga!<br /><br />Love that your boys played so well together today. When I hear stories like this I sort of wish we gave Riley a sibling, but in the end I’m really ok that we didn’t. It would just be nice to have some other person be the playmate instead of me.<br />Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13431574559764434086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803341.post-54200859833832478702014-11-01T08:54:01.336-05:002014-11-01T08:54:01.336-05:00Oh I meant to comment about feeling like crap in t...Oh I meant to comment about feeling like crap in the mornings still - this sounds horrifying and disgusting, but hey - have you tried having a granola bar and a coke (as in coca cola classic) literally RIGHT when you get up? I mean seriously before you do anything else. It helped me..... just a thought...... but I know it's pretty gross.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928807868790599467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803341.post-51027668872731615212014-10-31T09:36:43.989-05:002014-10-31T09:36:43.989-05:00Your bump is so adorable.

I'm sure when it's my own kid I will cry.<br /><br />It's kinda embarrassing that we go to McD's before yoga...let's find a new place stat.<br /><br />I'm disappointed that the show was not great, but like you I'll still power through it. <br /><br />So glad you did this DITL!<br /> Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04427763668353870765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803341.post-81351916472377809752014-10-30T21:42:06.272-05:002014-10-30T21:42:06.272-05:00And this is your day off?

I haven't done a parents group since the mom & baby group I did with Annie, which I really loved, so not sure why I think I wouldn't like this?? I probably would, and I'd be one of the ones talking the whole time, although I am trying to get better about at least waiting so the introverts of the group have time to contribute too :) I also think I'm getting less and less extroverted in my old age... or just lazy.<br /><br />Your Louie tantrums remind me of someone I know quite well... you handle it far better than I do most of the time. It's just..... maddening.<br /><br />Haven't mustered the energy to do a DITL in a long time, might try next week even though I'll miss the contribution cut off!Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17928807868790599467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8803341.post-87595751791068550582014-10-30T20:41:51.324-05:002014-10-30T20:41:51.324-05:00I love day in the life posts - thanks for sharing ...I love day in the life posts - thanks for sharing your day with us.
