I'm a coffee drinker

I have taken to drinking coffee. I had quit for several years since it seemed to hurt my stomach and may have been linked to my migraines. But I have convinced myself I can't function without a morning cup of joe...jazzed up, sugared up cappuccino. Even though Naomi has still been sleeping through most nights (which is so fabulous), I can't seem to get to bed on time and/or I am so exhausted when it is time for Naomi to wake up for breakfast. Seven in the morning comes so early. It's really not so bad, but I have spent a couple years working a very erratic work schedule and attending classes at odd hours. I used to love mornings and now, I like to sleep until at least 10. So, now I need my coffee. I'm not even sure it helps, but I insist on drinking it anyway.

Outside of my new coffee fetish, I have been trying to eat healthier. Cut out soda. Drink more water. Eat more fruits and veggies. Eat breakfast and smaller portions. Plus exercise. On top of just wanting to have more energy and relieve stress, I swear I still look five months preggers, so I have to get in the gym. It's so frustrating because I weigh less than I did before, but my stomach is all out of wack. I should be exercising right now.

Today, I let Naomi go swimming. She got all suited up, and we splashed around in the baby pool on the porch. It was too hot to sit her out in the sun. It was so fun. She is getting big. She will be 9 months old next week, but she looks much older than that. She looks like a toddler, especially when she is attempting to stand on her own. Oh, what fun times.
