"Eat for one, drink for two"

We got our Thank You's out today. FINALLY. This is one of Madeline's favorite things to do.

I attended an aquatic fitness class today that an instructor friend had asked me to try. It was fun and made me feel a lot lighter than what I am these days. Had a little bit of Mom guilt, considering I was going "swimming" without Madeline and she loves to be in the pool. I also realized why said instructor friend asked me to attend...I was the youngest, by far. There was one other pregnant mama, as big as me...in a bikini, I shit kid you not. Anyway, I think one of the reasons I liked it so much is because I rocked it...unlike my poor performance in BodyCombat lately. I guess when you're used to taking intense cardio classes, an aquatic class is very low key, but it definitely made me feel good that I didn't need to modify anything. The old ladies were quite impressed with me. HAHA.

Speaking of water, I have been taking the whole "Eat for one, drink for two" advice from my Dr very seriously. So much that it is pretty much unimaginable just how much water I have taken in during this pregnancy. Sometimes you just want something a little stronger than water...like vodka. Alright, maybe not vodka. I am enjoying a soda right now and I don't even like soda, but it sure does taste delicious after gallons and gallons of water since the last one I had on Wednesday. I miss iced tea the most. I don't even buy it in the decaf form because I know it's all I would want to drink instead of what I should be...water. blah.

I'm getting to that point in pregnancy where I'm craving BAD things. Like really, really bad things. As I grazed through my huge spinach salad, chomping like a cow, at lunch. I kept telling myself: You have to eat this because you're having pasta for dinner. Stop eyeing up your daughter's pb&j. You need a carb free lunch to enjoy a carb full dinner.  You know how you get when you're eating something you don't feel like eating? It's like it takes forever to chew and swallowing is a chore.

Yeah, I talk to myself often. I think most people that blog probably talk to themselves all day like me..that's why we always have so much to write. I will often direct the conversation at Madeline so it doesn't seem like I'm really talking to myself, but I am.

Pinterest project FAIL:

Bathtub paint. 1 tbsp cornstarch, 4-6 pumps baby shampoo, 2-3 drops food coloring, 1-2 tsp water. 

Booooo. Mom read that as 1-2 tbsp of water and it ended up being too much. It wasn't as pretty as it was supposed to be. We will definitely try this again though because it has great potential!

She liked it anyway.

LOVES her rainboots...absolute favorite thing to wear right now.
