Hot Tuesday.

Oh man, I was totally over dressed today. I checked the weather online, and also did the look out the window thing (I can see how much wind there is if I watch the tree across the street). I even stepped outside the front door while checking the mail. It was nice, but sort of chilly.

I wore a hunter green knit cape that I really like.





It was so hot. Eventually I just had to take it off.

I fail.




In happier news, my pre-pregnant jeans fit again! I was capable of putting them on a few months ago, but saying they "fit" would certainly have been an overstatement. I am reveling in being able to wear my cherished collection of fashions again. Pregnancy wasn't hard, but the clothes are boring. And that baby bump took such precedence over my appearance that it didn't matter what I was wearing. Most of the time people would gasp and say something about how "huge" I was, even though I didn't feel that way.




So my pants fit. Awesome!

Some of you have commented that you think I look good, particularly for recently having had a baby.

T-H-A-N-K-Y-O-U!

I'm going to wander into the realm of vain and admit that it feels really good to have people notice I look nice. I just spent the better part of a year hosting Dexter inside of me so part of me hardly remembers what I used to look like. So thank you for the kind compliments. They are voraciously consumed by my ego on this end of the internet and you guys make me feel special to have your good wishes.

I sort of want to be all gracious and humble and modest about it, but let's be real. My clothes fit and people notice!

I'm quite surprised, yet proud of how resilient my body has been throughout pregnancy and now post-pregnancy. I attribute all of this to healthy, active living. I don't do diets and gyms.

Biking be praised!




Finally, that's Pashley up there with me, hanging out with Dougal at the dog park before we went downtown to meet my mom.
