A Couple Pleasant Surprises

****

I got a couple pleasant surprises this morning. The first
one was being able to sleep uninterrupted until 8am!
Keenan usually gets up to eat around 6am, but this morning
he slept until a little after 8am. Which was a full 9
hours of sleep. What a great gift. My second surprise
happened a little later when I stepped on the scale. I
usually can tell when I've lost weight and I didn't feel
like I'd lost anything, but the scale said otherwise... 3
pounds lost since yesterday! I thought I was seeing
things, but I stepped on it again and it said the same
thing, so it's true. Seriously, it feels great to be
dropping weight without doing too much to make it happen.
Breastfeeding is a magic bullet.

My day was the same as usual, nothing much to share there.
I'm not complaining, just stating a fact. Snookums and I
did play tennis today, which I find to be the most fun
exercise on the planet. Because it's so fun you forget
you're burning about a million calories. Especially
chasing after the long bombs Snookums hits. He's pretty
bad at it, but it's good fun chasing after his erratic
serves!

I'm feeling pretty runned down tonight. The past couple of
nights, actually. I can't pin-point exactly why I'm so
tired, but all I can think of right now is getting Keenan
fed and put down so I can go to sleep. I'm trying to eat
enough (and still have some sort of calorie deficit), I'm
getting enough sleep and I'm taking my prenatal vitamin
still, but it doesn't seem to be helping. I think I'm
anemic. It's something that comes and goes throughout my
life. I don't eat meat hardly at all (and I'm bad about
eating enough dark leafy greens to make up for that) and
I'm still dealing with this pesky bleeding (my body is so
messed up). I'm going to have to break down and go to the
doctor one of these days, because in a roundabout way,
it's starting to affect me.

Keenan summons! Thank goodness. I'm so ready for bed. Ciao.
