Well, I went to my first post-pregnancy WW meeting today. I was nervous, but it wasn't half bad. Also? Nursing moms get a TON of points. For those of you who haven't done WW (and if you're trying to lose a little weight I HIGHLY recommend it) every food has a number of points assigned to it and you get a daily allowance of said points. Anyway, they have changed the way they calculate the number of points you get, and nursing moms get a bajillion on top of that, so I think it's doable. I'll keep you posted.
What else?
Oh! The baby! She's doing really well - sleeping more, smiling more, getting cuter every single minute. It's pretty great. In the last few days I went to Fred Meyer's and my meeting without her, which was STRANGE. I realized I hadn't been apart from her in her whole 5 weeks alive. I know that isn't rare, but it still seems funny to say it out loud. But it's good to know that I can leave her with Ashley for an hour if I need to get out by myself, just for a breather.
We're having an "event" at Mabel's tonight. I'm really nervous about it. I feel like I'm having a party and I don't think anybody will show up. If anyone in the Portland area is free tonight at 6, the author of "Punk Knits" will be at the shop signing books, giving a workshop, and showing her wares. Also? She was a rock star in the 80s! So come by and give her a high five!
Crazy crying baby in the other room and milk everywhere! Time to go!

Yay for getting out of the house. And yes...ww is GREAT (with and without those extra points--which, by the way, I am tres jealous of!!!). When I was BF-ing and at WW I was able to eat a ton and still feel like I had a ton of points left.
I am getting excited, by the way....for lots of things.

Congratulations from Sarah A. on cute baby Elinor. If I were less than 2,000 miles away, I would totally come to your punk knitting party, but I am living in, of all places, Montpelier, where there is a thriving fiber community.

Trisha, I am getting excited, too! Also? How, if one is eating "right" is one supposed to use all of her dang points?? Especially when I don't eat meat? I actually am having a hard time with that part of the equation...
Hi Sarah!! Yay for Montpelier! I love that town. I'm headed over to catch up on your blog now...GREAT to hear from you.
