Fun Facts Friday {9/9}

By Courtney 9 Comments

This week’s ‘Fun Facts’ post is going to be short and sweet because, well, it’s been a long and BUSY week, to say the least!

1. So my first fun fact…we officially have a preschooler. HOW?!

IMG_4146

Lucas had his first day yesterday, although there was no drop off involved (we stayed with him and it was only for 45 minutes).

Tuesday will be the true test when I need to drop him off, but I’m excited that HE seemed excited! Our little guy is growing up on us.

2. My second fun fact is the fact that I’m loving the updates I receive throughout the day from our new sitter. This one absolutely made my day yesterday, since it was my first full day back in the office and, thus, having to leave this cutie for the whole day.

3. I quickly realized that it was a bad decision to wear heels on my first day back when I haven’t worn them in 4+ months. #ouch

4. I was also quickly reminded just how much I hate pumping at work.

5. I think we managed to cook either 3 or 4 actual meals this week…it’s been crazy. And delicious. And my fridge is now full of leftovers. Tonight is “clean out the fridge for dinner.”

6. I’m still obsessed with Dunkin’s Heath Bar iced coffees…so much so, that the thought of pumpkin coffee absolutely does not appeal to me yet at all. Then again, it was like, 90 degrees today so that probably has something to do with it.

7. I’m honestly having so much fun with Usborne Books, holding parties, and getting my hands on more of the books. It was totally unexpected but it’s also totally in my wheelhouse. Who wants to party with me?!

8. I need a massage. Badly. My neck, my hips, my low back…all of it are screaming at me lately.

9. I need to wrap up this post right now and go get me some ice cream.

I warned you, it was going to be a quick one today! Winking smile I hope you all have a fabulous Friday and a wonderful weekend ahead, whatever you may be doing! <3

    It sounds like a successful week! I love receiving updates on Mitch through the day. The pictures and stories instantly brighten my mood!

    I am SO in the exact same boat as you right now! Just returned to work last week and sent my little one (4 months) to daycare for the first time. And my little girl just started preschool as well. She LOVES it once she's there and settled in but boy, oh boy are drop offs hard. I'm talking crying, clinging, running after me to the door and having to be held by the teacher. UGH!! I am sending positive thoughts your way that Lucas transitions well! :)

    Pumping at work ... the worst. It is another full time job! Good thing they are adorable right?

    Lucas really has grown up in what seems like overnight! Having a small baby around always made my other little ones seem so much bigger. I'll bet he takes to preschool like a rock star! I love that you get cute, happy updates from your sitter! It can be hard leaving your baby but those updates do help to ease the transition a tiny bit! As for the icecream, I'd totally cut out early to indulge, too, lol!!

    I love how Lucas smiles in pictures, Avery refuses to smile or he just looks away which means we have like 2 good pics of the family. I love his preschool sign, did you make that?

    I don't hate the actual pumping as much as I hate the washing and making sure I have all the parts. I'm not looking forward to all that again when #2 is born!! Good luck, you will get through and before long all the lactating business will just be a memory!

    I haven't gone back to work full time yet, but we have childcare while I work on some projects (1-2 days/week right now) and I agree pumping is the worst! I'm always worried I'm not leaving enough milk...and washing/sanitizing the parts takes so much time, bleh. But I suppose there's a season for everything, right? Hang in there, mama!
