Sweet swimming success!
Oh what a relief! The swim class was a success. I didn't die of embarrassment over my fat body and my little social butterfly loved it. She was too cute in her little bathing suit. I wish I would've gotten a picture of her. I was anxious all day over nothing as it turns out. Lola woke up at 0730. She doesn't usually get up until 0900 or 1000. So she took her nap earlier than usual and was good and sleepy come time to get ready for class. So I had to wake her up and rush to be on time. Thank god I didn't get a ticket on the way there. OH and of all days aunt flo came for a visit today for the first time since august 2004!!! 18 months without a period and the first day of swimming with froglet I get my f-ing period!
When we arrived it was packed and there was no place to park. It was a hassle getting in and undressed but we made it and Lola was excited to see all the babies. Everyone was sooo friendly. Its funny I used to not like the Y bc of all the little kids and families running around, and now that's what makes it so comfy feeling for me. Its not a bunch of perfect singletons. I am officially a mom. Its still weird to think that sometimes?? Lo was a little stiff for the first few minutes but she warmed up quickly. She would kick and get excited and swallow some water. But she would keep on going! We met a nice couple who just moved here from Alabama who have a 7 month old boy. So it was a great experience. I'm glad we went now I just have to keep it up!! I'm still a little nervous about leaving Lo in the nursery while I work out but I don't have much choice. My mom doesn't live here so I don't have anyone to keep her. The good thing about the nursery is its so open and there are people around everywhere so its not like they could get by with doing anything weird. I'm very paranoid about that. Lola ate a good dinner and went to sleep without complaint. I think that's what she needs is some more social time. She gets bored with me. She is such a ham. Its so odd that she will go to anyone. When I was a baby mom said I would scream if anyone strange even got close to me. Not much has changed! ha!
oh I'm just rambling. I just feel so happy right now. hell I'm a weirdo. Its so cool to read other moms blogs and to know they feel the same about so many things. I wish I would have known about this when I first got prego and esp right after lo was born. I was so depressed. I think people are just so much more honest when they are talking to the computer than face to face with a person. Its really a great support system even if you don't interact personally it just makes one feel not so alone. So thank you- o great momma bloggers! It can make me feel inferior though when I read all these artsy, crafty, multitalented supermom types. I am proud if I just get one load of laundry done in a day. Guess I need to set my goals a little higher:)

lolas momma, you are a riot. and obviously, even if you arent perfect, you are a great mommy. im glad you had a blast. your even making me think about starting swimming classes. some days i think tamara is just sick of me lol. and you actually get one whole load done a day? im lucky if i get it washed and dried, let alone folded lol. keep up the great momma work.
I'm soo proud of you Adrienne! Making that first step is the hardest!
I agree Mama blogs let me know I'm still sane. But yeah I feel like so many of them accomplish more and are creative and do so much more w/their lives. If I make it to story time once a week I think I'm the wildest mom alive.
That's so cool about the swimming. I've been trying to track down a water babies thing or some kind of swim class around here and I'm having a hard time. But I didn't even think about me getting into a bathing suit! Yikes. But you've inspired me to search a little harder, I think Julian would love it.
Love to you, A!! Glad to have you and beautiful, happy little Lo on my reading list.
