THAT baby

What a weekend. We had a baseball tournament and between Saturday and Sunday we spent about 18 hours at the fields in Perkiomen, 12 of those hours being on Sunday. We ended up with a 4th place medal...we should have came out better than that, but by the time the last game was over I think they were so exhausted they didn't care what place they were in.

They are a great group of kids and as parents, we usually have fun at these tournys too. It's just an all around good time.
I was AMAZED at how well Madeline did too! She officially the best baby ever after this weekend...she didn't make a peep the entire time we were there. Unbelievable, really.

One of Ant's best friends had their baby this morning, so we went to the hospital to see them. He was absolutely adorable and WOW, she looked great. I wish I could have looked/felt like that after labor...I know, it's so much different having a c-section then natural. But, I found myself wondering if I could still try for natural the 3rd time around or if it's a scheduled section after you have already had 2? Then I wondered, am I crazy? I have the perfect baby on my hands here (& so was Josh)....would I really want to take that chance of having the 3rd be THAT baby? You all know THAT baby, the one you hear in the store, restaurant or even in your family or neighbor, the one that cries inconsolably at the most public of places...every one knows THAT baby. And when you have 3, chances are you get one....it's some sort of baby law or something. I'll take this next year or so to figure out my stand on another....even though the only thing that gets me through packing up the clothes that are too small and all these milestones is when I tell myself I will get to experience it again.

Well, tomorrow is the day! The day we start our diet. I'm pretty sure I'm going to rock it...it's basically a vegetarian fast for the first 9 days. So, I'm pretty sure it will not affect my milk supply, but if it does then I will have to be done. It seems very healthy to be called a "fast" though. Fruits and veggies. Up to 2 cups of brown rice. A little yogurt. And I will get my protein I need with beans and egg whites. I'm pretty excited to make my own hummus too! But, I'll talk more about this in tomorrow's post. I decided to finish the couple of beers in the fridge tonight, since the "fast" restricts alcohol and now I'm pretty tired! Zzzzzzz.
