So last Saturday we went bowling and to dinner with friends and their family. We took the kids and we were out of the house for 6 hours. I was sort of dreading it because nothing is easy with little kids who like to hang off of me until my back is begging for mercy. But it wasn't too bad. Miles is happy in an environment where there is a lot going on so he just smiled and bounced and even was fine being held by a few people that didn't know him. Mike and I passed him back and forth as we bowled. There were nice long leather couches at our bowling alley so he sat on them, munched some snacks, hugged and bugged Cody, etc. Cody used that little kid bowling helper thing where u set the ball on the top of a ramp thingy and he pushes it. He loved it! It was pretty hilarious how excited he got lol. And then a bunch of appetizers arrived and he was more interested in eating of course.
Dinner was more difficult with the kids because I had a lot of food with me so they'd both eaten enough to fill themselves well before everyones food arrived. And after 2 hours of bowling Cody was restless and Miles just wanted to be held which is hard because he also wants to pull everything off the table, my hair, wants to twist and pick stuff up off the ground, tip over my drink etc. Omg lol. Not easy when Cody also wants this and that and both kids needed changing, Miles wanted milk, Cody dropped his snack which made him cry, then Miles doesn't want to be held while sitting and that kind of lovely chaos. Then Mike wanted to stay and play arcade games for a while. I was mostly tired at the end of the day from holding Miles so much and dealing with some minor crankiness. It was kind of nice to get home at 8:30 though so they could both go straight to bed. That night Miles slept the whole night too. First time ever! Of course we went over and had game night with our friends so I was still tired the next day. So dumb lol.
I am now 165lbs and yet because of being pregnant and having kids twice my stomach is loose and gross. I have been wearing some of maternity pants and shorts still just to hold my tummy still while I try to keep toned. But they're falling off of me so I am going to try to find some kind of shapewear today instead. If I can't find anything maybe I will just wear my bathing suit all the time lol. I am pretty upset at how my stomach looks though. Which makes me want to eat a ton of junk food which clearly is counterproductive. Ugh. It just sucks to hate your stomach and hear other people say the only way to get rid of the extra skin after having a baby is through surgery.
I wrote the above earlier today and now I am at the mall with the kids. Miles was screaming his head off nonstop at home so I knew if I went out somewhere busy he'd be fine. Isn't that strange? They are both watching people play hockey and munching snacks here at the food court and super happy lol. Oh and I tried on some shapewear at Target and I think I found one that I like. It seemed comfy but I will have to see how I feel after wearing it for a while.
My friend and I are going to see The fault in our stars on Sunday. Actually getting to go somewhere without the kids is epic. But I told Mike I read the book and I really want to see this movie. He isn't too bothered by it because he has to go pick his mom up that day anyway so he will just bring the kids and most of the time I am gone they will be in the car. She's coming to watch Miles on Monday morning while we are at the hospital with Cody while he gets his tubes. I'm not too nervous about that yet but I'm sure I will be on Monday. I just hope he doesn't notice that we have to leave the house without letting him eat any breakfast cuz that would be hard to explain to him. I'm sure he'll do fine. Can't wait to see if his speech improves :)
