Mommy Update

The New Soccer Mom
When you hear the term 'soccer mom' most people picture a mom with a mini van (or an SUV these days) with a car full of kids dressed in jerseys. That's not me - well, not yet - don't get me wrong I'm looking forward to the day I'll be taking Alana to her soccer games with her jersey which I've already decided her lucky #8 will be on the back. But for now while she's still in diapers this soccer mom is the one out there kicking the ball. Yep, that's right I actually got back out on the field last week and it feels great!

What can I say, I like to stay active. In fact, here's a breakdown of my schedule these days:
Monday - When Alana wakes up we have tummy time where we do different things like sing, listen to music or read a book. In the afternoon Mommy tries to schedule an outside activity whether it's meeting up with someone for lunch or going to the mall.
Tuesday - We have mommy and baby yoga where I am able to get some exercising and stretching done and Alana love the songs, and stimulation activities that are incorporated into the workout. Every other Tuesday Mommy and Daddy go to dance class while Alana stays with her Titi Norys. This also gives Mommy and Daddy a designated date night. =)
Wednesday - We meet up with our Mommy group at Starbucks for breakfast and mommy talk. In the evening Mommy goes to Soccer and Alana gets 1:1 time with Daddy.
Thursday - Lately I've been making Thursday a work day as I have a few speaking engagements coming up and I'm helping a local business improve their marketing. However starting next week we'll be going to the library for 'baby lapsit' with our Mommy group where they read books and sings songs. Thursday evening is also 'sister night' meaning we meet up with Titi Norys just to hang out with different activities on the schedule.
Friday - No set schedule for Friday we just play it by ear playing games or going to mall.
Saturday - It's family day! We usually visit family or they come visit us.
Sunday - It's family day again but I also play soccer in the evening giving Alana and Daddy 1:1 time.

Then we do it all over again - of course with lots of eating, changing diapers and burping in between! Overall I think I'm getting the hang of this mommy thing. =)
