Insomnia and Training ~ 81 Days to Beast Mode

I know it was only day two, but I had to take a rest day yesterday.  My favorite friend, Aunt Flow, came back to visit and it had me down for the count.  I am hoping it is simply leftover placenta that was loosened by the exercise, but I have a feeling it isn't.  After 10 months, this was not a pleasant surprise and I was hoping it would hold off a bit longer because I'm breastfeeding but no such luck.

I am also fortunate enough to be having insomnia for the last two nights.  Basically I can't sleep until 1 am... NOT helpful when you have a little baby.  Ken is feeling the burn as well and the exhaustion keeps piling on.  We are trying to be really good to our bodies and rest when we can find the time.

Penny gets more awesome by the day. This little girl is stealing our hearts (as if she hasn't already).  She smiles ALL the time and is just such a happy baby.  We have been trying some new breastfeeding positions and found one that we both seem to like.  Penny has been a little fussy while feeding, I think due to the thrush, but we found a new position that she seems to really like and I like it too because I can hear her swallowing and I know she is getting food.  Other than keeping me on my toes by not wanting to sleep alone at night, she is simply the best.  Ken and I are having a blast watching her grow and discover new things.  She seems to enjoy her changing table the most and always smiles and makes cute noises at the little painting hanging on the wall beside her.  She is fascinated by it.  It is incredible how her whole face changes when she smiles, it is the best thing in the entire world.

The quote says "Just to be in the world with you is enough".  Love it!
