Ice cream maker!!!

Going old school with the “what I ate” style blogging. For breakfast I went to Crepeville with a coworker.  She was just getting off (a really crappy) night shift, so she vented to me and I listened.  P spent the morning throwing things from the stroller to the ground.  Whatever keeps you amused little man.   I got the tofu scramble which comes with both hash browns and a bagel.  The portions at Crepeville are massively massive (LOVE!!!) so I took home the leftovers for Kyle.  Which is the bagel you see above. Seriously Crepeville… Read more >

Accountability day by day

I’ve been aggressively snacking between meals and all the nibbles are going undocumented.  This bothers me because I want to have a better handle on my eats.  I get frustrated because I don’t always have time to eat well so  (excuses excuses) I just grab the easiest and fastest thing and shove it down my gullet between diaper changes, laundry, and all that jazz (the joys of motherhood I guess).  But I want to be accountable for what I’m putting in my body.  I used to take photos of everything I ate and that not… Read more >

I used to do this every day

Holy crap I actually took pictures of everything I ate in a 24 hour period!  I can’t believe I used to do this every single day… Starting with breakfast.    I slept in til 9 but if I didn’t have a child I would have hidden under the sheets until at least noon.  I was still recovering from night shift shenanigans and pacman wasn’t pleased.  Given that, both of our appetites were out of control.  I fed him first of course, but then got right to work on my own grub. I wanted pancakes, but… Read more >

The last weekend

Dramatic post title, huh. Even though I’ve already technically started work, it has all been fluff stuff, like HR paperwork, physical eval, etc.  So this weekend was my last REAL weekend as a stay-at-home mom.  It’s sad.  I am trying not to think about what I’m missing while I’m away.  But I do like that I can re-discover myself again outside of my mom role.  I wouldn’t go back to nursing if I didn’t love it. Anyway, Friday was a pretty boring day.  I dragged P to Sac with me because I had an appointment… Read more >

Hospital, take-out, & home-made (food from the first two weeks post-partum)

The first couple of weeks have flown by.  It’s what everyone said would happen, and it is definitely the truth. The food in the hospital was okay.  [I work at the same place I gave birth to P so I know exactly where the menu and cafeteria excel and fall short] Whoever told me the first meal after birth would be the best thing I ever ate lied.  I didn’t take a photo of it, but I got two slices of french toast and a banana.  Remember how much I adore the hospital’s french toast? … Read more >
