2. Baby girl loves swimming! I started taking her to "lessons" and also take her to the community pool almost everyday! It is so fun to watch her splash and kick around in the water. I am loving this age (where she can fully sit up on her own and not so fragile)! It is so fun to actually play with her!
3. I'm thinking of training to run a 5 or 10k. I do alot of cardio but almost never run. I stick to the elliptical or stairmaster usually. I decided to try running last week and I ran 3 miles (5k) on the treadmill in 25 minutes...i'm not sure if that is terrible or decent. Anyone with running experience want to tell me what a good time to strive for would be? I don't want to over-do it with the running since I'm worried about my milk supply (anyone have experience with this? does running lower your milk supply?) so I think I will just strive for running a good 5k now and then maybe a 10k when I am nursing less in the winter time. I would love any tips about running from other running mamas!
Well, those are my 3 randoms for the day! I'll leave you with a quick pic of my baby working hard:
Oh my word she is so cute! I Think a 5k in 25 minutes is pretty good time especially if you're not a runner.
ReplyDelete5k in 25 is a good time :)
ReplyDeleteyour little girl is beautiful.
I loooove the last pic of her hard at work! Too cute!!! I think I'm going to have to get one of those thin sleep sacks. Gavin is always kicking off his covers and then waking up bc he's cold. Ugh! I'm getting ready to start G in swim lessons too. He's only five months so it's just survival lessons to start with. I can't wait! A 5k or 10k - Oh wow...you go momma! I know nothing about running so I have no advice there but good luck =)
ReplyDeleteShe is so stinkin cute!! Aren't water babies so much fun!
ReplyDeleteA 5k in 25 minutes is a great time! Some women that I run with dream about getting a sub-25 min 5K :)
ReplyDeleteI ran while nursing and I didn't have any supply issues, but to be fair, I was also in the running for the Bessie the Cow award of overproducing.
She is SO FREAKING CUTE!!! I think the milk supply issues (usually) only happen if you're exercising A LOT - like marathon training.
ReplyDeleteThat may well be one of the cutest babies I've ever seen! Spending time at the pool with my baby is a big part of the dream for me. So glad you're living (and loving) it.
ReplyDeleteI love her expression in the picture with the towel on her head! I think your time is good (what do I know, though?), but that you should try to time yourself running on a bike path or something, because the little up- and down-hills and heat and stuff can slow you down in comparison to a treadmill with A/C. As for stages, yes this is a great one!!! I hope Penelope stays in the 'sitting but not crawling' stage for a while! We have soooooo much childproofing to do, i can't even think about it.
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE the Aden+Anais sleep sacks-- we have two of the single layer and two of the quad layer sacks and Liam sleeps in one every night!
ReplyDeleteYay for swimming!! And yay for you running! You did great I think! I"m still chugging along on the c25k program. I had to take a little break due to Alex's teething and clingyness but now that he's back to his normal self I'm hoping to get back to it.
ReplyDeleteshe is stinkin' cute. No idea on running and milk supply. I only notice less milk when I reduce calories too much. Sadly I need to reduce! Body stop taking calories from boobs and take it from butt.
ReplyDeleteMy mom was looking over my shoulder just now and said you have the cutesy baby :o) re: my blog post, I would've taken a mirror to down there sooner but remember you blogging months ago about how frightening things looked when you finally took the mirror to take a looks. So I refrained looking for two weeks bc of fright. Ote I would've discover my third hole sooner! Not that I'm blaming you :op
