Gazelles on Crack

1. Yesterday I went into the office for a bit. I had 460 unread emails since April 4 (4/3 being the last day I checked email, apparently). I got through all 460 emails, and only marked about 50 as “need to follow up.” Alvie, however, was not impressed with office life & thought it got [...]

Alvie Bean is now 6 weeks old. He is miles & miles ahead of the curve developmentally. (I made that up – I have no idea.) He does weight 12.4 lbs, which puts him firmly in the 75th percentile for weight. Plus, it puts him him right in the A+ category for cuteness and chub [...]

Ummm…I totally thought I’d hit publish on this, but apparently I did not. It is no longer Monday, but I swear I wrote this yesterday morning. I am feeling extremely alliterative lately - The weekend was lovely. I yogaed, I swam, I was social (twice!), and I played with this adorable little man:   I

This week, I finally started feeling (mostly) like myself again. I was, however, also reminded that I still need to take it slow, because that feeling is a LIE! (Or at least a bit misleading.) BUT – let’s see how I did with this week’s goals: Training Goals – 5/11/12 – 5/17/12 Friday: Walk 1 [...]

1. Sorry I missed the baby update yesterday, but I was busy doing important baby related stuff. (It is too baby-related – Alvie Bean needs to know about such things…you wouldn’t want me to neglect his education, would you?) 2. Question for those in the know – when will this extra hair out? Please te

Today is International Fluevog Day. This is a very important holiday that should result in a day off work. Shoes are serious business. To celebrate, I am using my saved up shoe funds to buy a pair of Fluevogs. I have long longed for a pair, but was never quite ready for the investment. However, [...

Back in the old days (pre-pregnancy & pre-foot surgery), I did training goals every week & then reported on them to keep myself on track. As I am now slowly (really, really slowly) easing back into an exercise routine, I am going to do that again. This will serve partially as a motivator to myself [

1. I cannot wait to start swimming again. CANNOT wait. I need to be exercisey again. 2. I can totally get my 1st trimester jeans (i.e. not maternity jeans) on – not buttoned yet – but on. 3. Diablo III comes out next week, and at the risk of sounding excessively dorky – I cannot [...]

So – no more bumpday updates, due to the fact that I am no longer be-bumped. However, just because I know have  an outside baby, it doesn’t mean that there’s nothing to talk about! Also, I don’t want this to be an “All Alvie All the Time” blog. There are other things to talk about: [...]

Dear Alvie - Yes, I’m still calling you Alvie. Occasionally, I do call you by the right name. Often, I call you Baby. Which goes with my preferred name for the architect – which is husband. Today you are 1 month old. It’s hard to believe that an entire month has passed. This last month [...]
