August and I walked to the cake shop again yesterday. The novelty of an hour and a half walk has worn off and I also have blisters. I am ready to get a bike trailer ASAP! He has been spending quite a bit of time at the shop lately, so I am also shopping around for used Pack n Plays. Essentially a playpen that he can nap in while we are at the shop. He has a swing there already, but it is a back and forth swing, not side to side, and he is not into it.

He also spends quite a bit of time in the Baby Bjorn while at the shop. He loves this, but it is very hard to get anything done. We are looking forward to the day that he can be in a carrier on our backs.

Here he is with Jake working away

Jake was on baby duty this morning so I could attend a diastisis rehab class. Diastisis is a separation of the abdominal muscles as a result of pregnancy (amongst other things). I have to wear a very uncomfortable and unattractive splint until I am healed as well as do some very tedious exercises. We go back in 3 weeks to be remeasured and learn the next phase of exercises. My separation is about 3+ inches wide and knuckle deep. This separation is what is fixed in a tummy tuck surgery. Chances are I had a separation before I was pregnant (crunches are a sure fire way to cause diastisis) but it worsened with my large baby!

August and I are heading back to the cake shop today for another wedding cake tasting then we are off to find some body contouring garments. This splint around my midsection makes me bulge out in the most unattractive areas!

Here is a video of August and his new mobil.
