Just what I needed

I didn't notice but I was going a little cray after 3 weeks of nothing but breastfeeding.  Steve did notice.  He told me he thought I should get out of the house.  Who knows, maybe he just wanted me to put some damn jeans on and get out of the sweats. 

Sure I have gone to Target without the kids for 30 minutes once or twice but I really needed to get out with just Steve.  My mom offered to babysit so we could go to lunch.  My friend Jodie from college and her boyfriend were headed up to Colden Lakes on their motorcycle.  Steve loves when I ride on his Harley so I decided why not.  So much better than the chopper.  I was a little worried about my stomach and being in pain but it was so much fun.  A couple of those bumps hurt a little but I was outside in the fresh air and child free.  As far as timing it could not have went better!  Reid took his first bottle awesome.  I pumped right before we left so we had about 3 hours.  I love using washable breast pads but they are not practical in the beginning or when you want to leave the house without baby for 3 hours.  I love lansinoh pads!  These suckers hold and will not leak through.  Sorry earth.  When things calm down I promise I will use my bamboobies. 

Wish you could pack a breastpump in a saddlebag but you can't.  I even had my first post-baby Miller Light and it tasted amazing.  Best water beer of all time if you ask me :)

Actually, I may have to pick up a 6 pack for the fridge.  Beer does wonders for your supply!  We left about 12:30 and it was a gorgeous ride looking at all the leaves and Fall colors.  And I got to have my arms around the hubs the whole time.  We got home at 3 and baby was still asleep so I woke him up and fed him right away.  It was just the thing I needed to break out of the baby cave!!  It went so well I cant wait to do it again.
