Irony is having to go to the gym to get some rest.  The gym daycare has been a life saver. 

Me and frank made a snowman today 

She asked if we could make stitch with 6 arms and it ended up turning into this. I thought it was a fun creation. The neighbors apparently didn't agree because someone destroyed the shit out of it :c No worries though, let me find out who it is and I'll sculpt them a nice giant snow penis overnight.

66 days till spring

I will make it through winter.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when people conspicuously try to evoke feelings of guilt out of others, rather than directly stating what it is that they want out of them.  If you're feeling some kind of way or want a certain outcome, just throw it out there and let's see what we can do about it.  Spare us the dramatics ya fuckers

that old black hole

23w3d pregnant with baby number two. last night i ran 3 miles and have been consistently running 3 miles, 3x a week since the 10k on july 4th, with a few longer runs thrown in.  i'm trying my best to stay active despite it getting more and more difficult.  a pretty bad bladder infection kept me from doing my third run last week, but i replaced it with a 9 mile bike ride, 30 pound "baby" strapped to the front of the bike.  my legs are still sore from all the hills.

Frankie and my sister at the Lost Lake in Patapsco State park:

some family will be in town in a couple weekends and we're planning to do a 5k together followed by crabcakes and swimming.  it's always nice to have something in the near future to work towards and keep motivated. i'm going to try to continue running 3 miles, 3x a week until i have to cut it back.

the weather has been absolute perfection, which has helped me get out with the baby for lots of walks, hikes, playgrounds, picnics, etc.

i woke up this morning and made a juice concoction consisting of collards, cucumber, squash, apples, watermelon, carrots, and ginger

then me and frances ran some errands and met up for a play date at the playground, followed by a picnic under the trees:
