Making_A_Change’s BodyBlog

We always know when our daughter is growing–she goes to sleep early and eats everything in sight. Davis has always had a good appetite and lots of variety. There are times when she hardly eats. She’ll poke at her breakfast, nibble at her lunch, and just smell dinner. Then there are times, like last week. I was on my way home and I call my husband to say I’m on my way. He says, "She just took out two turkey burgers, two bagels, and it asking for more." When she does kind of eating she is typically a bit taller soon after–we don’t have to cuff her school pants and she is wearing a few of the shirts we got for fall, now. Well, I have either been ravenous or sleepy. It has even been in the back of my mind–am I pregnant? Today, I just felt like a bottomless pit. It is coming after several days on low, so that could be expected. I’m still playing with the numbers. Additionally, after 8, I just can’t stay awake! I understand that this is when you grow. So I am following my body’s cue. I’ve had two off days–completely. And I do feel better. And maybe I needed to catch up on zzzzz’s. Waking up at 4 is rough. And I have actually been getting up at 3:45 to get all of my supplements and food in. Maybe I need to re-evaluate that. And, therein lies why I’m tired. But, it would still be great if it were a ‘growth spurt, though’. I can hope…

A conversation with the little while walking to the Halloween store:

"Mommy, why are you walking like that?"

"Like what?"

"Like this!" She proceeds to do this walk where she walks in straight line, one foot in front of the other, and switches her hips. "You walk like a (she whispers) foxy lady."

I guess walking in 5 inch heels has helped my walk in my everyday heels.

"Oh, that? That’s just my swagger."

"Oooh!"
