things i’m working on

Written by

I’m working on Liam’s stocking. It’s progressing very nicely and I don’t think I’ll have a problem finishing this summer.

I’m working on getting 10,000 steps on my Fitbit each day. Without trying, I average 7500, depending on how busy we are at work. So to make my goal, I’ll probably have to add in a walk each evening.

I’m working on upping my pumping output. For me that means more water and timely pumping sessions. What else can I do?

I’m working on potty training Meredith. Actually it’s pretty much done, and it was quick & easy. I’ll share my “secrets” soon.

I’m working on making it halfway through Lonesome Dove (the book) by July 13 for book club. It’s a long one so we broke it up into two parts.

I’m working on waking up earlier. My kids are just really early risers so if I want any time alone in the morning it looks like I have to get up around 5. Kind of a bummer, but I’ve also been sleeping so great since starting whole30, so it’s not too hard.

I’m working on catching up on my podcast queue, and thinking about how I can add audiobooks back into my life.

I’m working on my personal style. I pretty much know what I like but I don’t have the wardrobe yet. Since I’m back down to my regular size I look forward to another closet purge and slowly adding pieces that I love.

I’m working on a letter to my pen pal.

I’m working on coordinating Meredith’s 3rd birthday party. The plan is: family only, local park, evening, a few balloons, a banner, bubbles, grilling, and a big chocolate cake.

I want to hear about the potty training! We’re in the midst of it, mostly done but with a few sticking points that I’m not sure how to get past.

  I’m going to write about it tomorrow, but I’m afraid my tips won’t really be THAT helpful. How old is A now?

Pumping — have you watching the “max production” video from Standford? You can google it — it does make a difference. Also I swear by lactation cookies (google “Noel Trujillo lactation cookies” for a good recipe)… yes, you have to use the brewers yeast. You can cut the sugar down by half.

  I watched the video, and I do that! I already use my hands at the same time as pumping. Haven’t tried lactation cookies though, but I will once whole30 is over!

To boost my milk production, I upped my water and started taking fenugreek 3x/day and noticed an increase within a few days. Good luck. :)

I took fenugreek too, and noticed an increase. I’ve also heard oatmeal helps – not sure if that’s true, but I used it as an excuse to eat lots and lots of oatmeal cookies :D
