clearly, from all these pictures i have yet to post, i've gotten a bit behind on the blogging.  the minute i have time during the day, z starts crying & needs to change activities or nurse.  and in the evening, i'm just too tired to collect my thoughts, or it's in the middle of the night & i have plenty of thoughts, but don't want to wake up enough to write them because it uses time that should be spent sleeping.  

i had to run about a half mile of the last bit of the walk because z started crying.  i haven't been running yet because my abs are still healing from the c-section.  i'm starting to realize it was too much - it's starting to hurt when i lift & carry z around.  sigh.

and a bit more on the scavenger aspect of parenting... i'm lucky to live in the age of the internet, with so many resources online, but finding time to do the research & digest it is hard to find.  after teaching, i have about an hour or two to eat dinner, pump, & do other emailing for teaching before i have to get to bed, as some nights are shorter than others, depending on how frequently z wakes.  it's hard to remember what needs to be done, hard to remember what to research.  i have no idea how some moms do it...
