Productivity!

Bennett must be on one hell of a growth spurt. His day time naps have been mushed together into 3.5-4 hour naps! And he's sleeping from midnight until.....well, I've had to get him up to go to work, so I'm guessing he'd sleep until 10am. WHOA. But it's been fabulous at work, because I have gotten more done in the last two days than in..... well, a really long time. I even feel prepared to leave for a week. Amazing.

I biked to and from work today. Just so wonderful. I love my body. When I am good to it, it is good to me.

Despite these good things I feel anxious. So much to do before I leave on Sunday! So much to do before my parents arrive. Tomorrow. In the 4 o'clock hour. It will be my father's first time meeting Benn - his first grandson! My mother hasn't seen him since he was 5 weeks old.

Bennett is such a delight and so freaking fun. He's "talking" all the time and sometimes I think he's trying to sing.

Tonight's dinner is a huge shout out to teamrose! We are having stuffed yellow peppers, stuffed with quinoa, beet greens, red pepper, red onion, cilantro, cashews and carrots, cinnamon and cumin. And a salad of golden and red beets on dandelion greens with a yoghurt dressing that I'm going to make. YUM. Man, I wish we'd open a bottle of wine to go with this meal, but I have a hunch Adam won't want to. That's ok, because we had an amazing bottle of 2004 Peterson Cabernet Sauvignon last night with our Indian food. Big time yum last night too.

Off to the cooking!

We don't eat like this every night... we used to, mostly, but not since I got pregnant. I look forward to getting back to healthy, from scratch meals. I love food.

Also, I read your post about flying to OKC. I'm nervous about flying by myself with B on Sunday. I'm sure it'll be fine, but I dread having to pee: me, baby and our bags in a stall?? O_o I hope your trip gets better.

I fly tons with Aidan and have since his birth. Make sure you pee in the airport. It's best to gate-check your stroller and car seat. DO NOT check it with your luggage. I gate-check the car seat to my final destination, but if I have a layover, I gate-check the stroller to my layover stop. Family Assist bathrooms in airports ROCK. Make sure you have a carrier- mei tais are awesome because you can use them on the front/back. I used my Beco this past trip, because it was easier to carry A on my back in the Beco than it would have been to hip-carry him in the Psling.

This is all great advice! However.... we don't have a stroller, B is too small for back carrying yet and I'm not taking a carseat (thank god) since my sister has one for me on the other side. But I will be looking for those family assist bathrooms! I'll be taking my sling for sure.
