Ever since our little Eli arrived, life in the world of emonster has been turned topsy-turvy. I can't believe that he's 12 weeks old today. I also can't believe that I had to buy him 6-12 month clothing yesterday cuz nothing else fits, but that's a different story. The last 3 months have been filled with tears, laughter, moments of despair/helplessness followed by incredible times of joy and happiness. I know it's cliche, but this lil guy has stolen our hearts and changed our lives forever.
But even with all of that, we still have to find a way back to "normalcy" -- as a friend of mine put it, it's all about finding a "new" normal. And so, the hubs and I are trying to do the things we used to do -- cook and eat at home, work out (some), and just find time to watch SYTYCD! To that end, I've started a realistic workout routine (mostly just walking sessions with Eli and maybe a couple of 30 minute sessions/week of some weights) and we just received our first CSA share of the season! We know we're behind the times a bit with this, but we're super excited to use all the fresh produce and support one of our favorite local farms at the same time.
This week, I'll be using spinach, green garlic (woohoo!), asparagus, carrots, various lettuces and radishes to make some yummy salads and sides. The hubs will be in charge of protein. And for dessert, we'll be polishing off some lemon-blueberry cheesecake bars from last week. Yummy? Yes. Good for my post-partum getting back into shape? Who cares?! :)
