Another relatively boring week for the twins this week. It was really a more exciting week for me, actually. I don’t really even have much to say paragraph wise so I’m just gonna jump straight to the bullets.
- It was a big week, running wise. I “celebrated” the last day of my 30th year with my first post twins 10 mile run. My running buddy uses his new fangled fancy Garmin watch to tell us we finished it in 1:44:14.
- I can tell my body isn’t fully recovered, because around mile 8 I start to get pain around my c- section scar. Cutting into muscles and all that I suppose had to do with it. 🙂
- I turn 31 this week.
- Abby shares her milk with me for my birthday. I insist this isn’t necessary today. She disagrees.
- Last minute present shopping turns out to be helpful for me as I mention the “cool-ness” of the fancy Garmin watch and suddenly I am the owner of one the next day on my birthday. I also get a hybrid bike. I can’t wait to try them out.
- I officially register for my comeback 5k
- I also officially consider myself a huge nerd because I am way more excited about a bike and a GPS watch than I EVER would be about jewelry.
- We take a cute sentimental pic of myself and the babies against the same wall we used to take each weeks’ pregnancy update picture
- We introduce the lovey. They each have different responses to it.
- We take a trip to Publix to go grocery shopping with the babies. We realize near the end of the transaction that we need more pacifiers. (seriously, its like the sock monster – where do they GO??). In my rush I grab a pack and throw them to Bryan, but accidentally toss them at an angle and smack nearby cashier on the head.
- Oops.
- Did you know that pretzels aren’t just for eating?
- Miles flashes his “I’m adorable” look after waking up early from a nap

Happy birthday! And congrats on that run! You are my inspiration for when I can start running again. I brag you up to people when they talk about losing weight after the babies. I’m like “no, it’s cool, I’m gonna be like this girl on a blog I follow” lol. So cool you signed up for a 5K. GL!

Oh, hopefully I did it right. I clicked the link and then rated your blog once I found it. You’re on the first page of the multiples category! Very cool 🙂

Addie loves her lovey. But I think she loves sucking on it more than anything else. 😉

Happy Birthday!!! I have a paper in my workout bag waiting to be filled out for registering for my first ever 5k…we’ll see if I can muster up the courage to actually sign on the dotted line. Both of my boys were introduced to lovey early on, Abram must must must have his lovey to sleep…Liam…he lost his somewhere in the chaos of a flea market but doesn’t really care. He loves a teddy bear instead. You look fabulous by the way!

do the race!!! I can’t wait to hear about it!!! I’d rather they need a lovey to sleep than a pacifier, but they are technically still too young to sleep with anything in the crib (not that I think they’d really suffocate). And thank you!!!

The babies are very good-looking. Congratulations!
I cannot find the Top Mommy badge though…
