Heading to kickboxing class for the first time since I had mia! My tailbone is still healing from my fall but feeling a lot better. I have to take her with me bc DH is taking DS for a flu shot. Hoping she stays asleep!!!! Or at least peaceful! Class is from 6-7 and her feeding is due around 645 :/
Kickboxing seems like it would be so much fun. Is it? Do you kick the bag? I think I'm probably too short. Maybe I could use the kiddie one lol
I've been hardly able to check in the last few days. I'm trying to get things ready for my return to work next week. DH is out of town at the end of the week so I have to get it all done early. Hope everyone has a good week!
For those of you who have nannies what are some interview questions I can't miss?
For interviewing nannies, here is my routine:
1) I set up a phone call. I start with the expectations (schedule, children, job description, etc.), and then ask if they have any questions. I ask them about their references. How long did you work for x family? Ages? Numer of children? How did that go? Why did you leave (if applicable)? What are you looking for now?
This says a lot about someone.
2) I check references to verify that the information matches.
3) if the references check out, I set up an interview in our home. I like to ask at least one substantive question like: what is your routine for calming a fussy baby? But, the BIGGEST tell is, just hand the candidate the baby in the middle of the interview (if it's going well). Observe how they interact a bit while you just strike up a conversation. Talk about whatever.
Oh, and make sure she's up to date on TDAP and flu shots, etc.

Kickboxing is fun! I'm 5'3" and my legs are super short (like I wear jeans in short and they're still an inch too long) and I wasn't too short! Just had to stand closer to the bag haha.
Went to the beach for a walk and I nursed while wearing her. Then my letdown went super fast and she unlatched and I sprayed everywhere across the beach. In front of a group of frat guys. It was hilarious.
Any tips for comforting baby after 2 month immunizations? E was fine for about 4 hours, mostly sleeping. She's still really sleepy but shrieking when awake. No fever, but I gave her a dose of tylenol for pain.
We snuggled all day after her shots, and I took her temp for 24 hours post, she was fine! Just a little extra love and soooo much boob time. She loved it!

Tylenol andblirs of cuddles and love hopefully the Tylenol helps her sleep thru the discomfort.

This. A hasn't had them yet, but this worked well for her 1 month shots.
Chimichangas were like legit Mexican food. I'm so proud of myself. Humble brag/not really lol

Like the others said Tylenol and cuddles. If it helps we got great sleep out of A after her shots. She also had a fever though.

It is so much fun and a great stress relief! We do kick and punch bags- you could still do it- you might have to stand closer. We also use the pads and shields with partners and kick and punch each other- The other half of the class is kettlebells and overall conditioning. I love it! Recommend it to anyone who needs lots of stress relief

I agree with Tylenol and lots of cuddling! Mia kept waking up shrieking too. It was so hard . Hang in!

I got a groupon for our boxing gym. I'm excited to try it out. I used to love kickboxing. Great stress relief.
Yeah E is really sleepy now. She slept in her swing and woke up crying. I laid her on the bed and played with her & she started smiling but her eyes were really heavy and she fell back asleep.

Went to a place after work that does all you can eat crab legs on Monday nights. Drag the car seat through the restaurant and wait 20 minutes. The gas line they use for the crab legs busted so they could only do one cluster per person. Got up and left in disappointed anger. Then follows Murphy's law for the rest of the evening. Time for bed!
N does this new thing when he's hungry. He's stares at my chest, smacks his lips, and reaches for a boob. . it's pretty cute. Edit for extra words. Because autocorrect.

Take that broken gas line and burn that MF-er down! Ok, maybe not. But sorry your night sucked.

runningmommy519, its you that's doing the 30 day shred right? I think you've said it before, but can you tell me how it works? I know there are different levels, but how long do you do each one?
Totally missed class tonight and didn't even realize it. E is feeling so shitty after her shots, I've been totally focused on comforting her. I'm hoping my grade isn't affected too badly.
So. If I get this job, how do I bring up that I'll need to pump every 2-3 hours?
I'm going to try to avoid mentioning I have an infant at all costs during the interview... So like, if I get it, do I say, "btw, I have a baby and need to pump 4-5 times a day" ?
Don't talk about it til your first day imo. It's nobody's business until you're hired.

I've always done each level for 10 days. It's a tough workout but I like that it tells you modified versions

Was supposed to go for a walk with DH after dinner tonight. Cleaned up kitchen, got my infantino ready...and A blows up her diaper. Repeatedly. It's spreading up her back, there's so much. I now have to give her a bath because DH us afraid to, so I go up to run the water while he cleans her up. Or so I thought. He took her to the changing pad, took off her soaked clothes, got the changing pad all covered in shit, then brings her up to me in her sodden, exploded diaper. He didn't even attempt to clean her up. Wtf dude.
I have always done it for 30 days straight. I know rest days are important too though. So if you feel like you really need one of take one
I was thinking of taking a rest day between levels. Or if I have a day where it's just not going to happen. We'll see. Thanks for sharing, while it was tough I did enjoy it and hopefully it will help with my lingering baby weight.
It's been awhile since I've done it. But from what I remember, level 2 is the hardest and the one I enjoyed the least. I just finished the 5th day of level 2. There are a few plank exercises in level 2 that are hard. I find the modified versions challenging. That being said, I remember level 2 being a lot worse when I did this a few years ago.
