The first one I tried was the vegetable flavour.
Birth announcment from tiny prints. The weird deidentifying smudges are my work…. |
In one of those better late than never moments, I finally got around to getting baby birth announcements printed. The beautiful images are courtesy of Karen Coulstock who was absolutely brilliant in coaxing newborn Baby SSG into position. She has the patience of a saint and I’m so happy with the set of images she created for us.
I ordered the cards from tiny prints. I’ve admired the tiny prints cards I’ve received from friends for quite some time now and finally got my chance to have some of my own made up. The web site is so easy to navigate and there is a wide range of card style to choose from. When you order your cards, there is a free service where a representative of the company reviews what you’ve created and fine tunes any minor issues for free. Customer service is lovely, with lots of friendly email communication. The company is based in the US and it only took a week for my cards and address labels to arrive in Australia. I’m definitely going to use tiny prints again in the future.
Aside from that deviation into the evil world of processed food via that congee, I’m embracing as much healthy living as I can. I’m saying yes to carrots and the daily gym plan is going well.
The gym isn’t just about the fitness, it’s a bit of an outing for me as well. I get to wear things that don’t have to be breast feeding friendly and I leave the house with a relatively lighter load than the baby bag that is full of things to cover all the potential dramas that may unfold when you hit the road with a baby.
There’s all the familiar benefits of a workout when my time is up at the gym but these days, the added bonus is coming home the little man and his need for a cuddle when he wakes up from his nap. Baby SSG has gotten to a size now where I’m not so afraid that I’ll lose grip of him when I hold him koala style on my chest. We’re currently experimenting with the Manduca baby carrier which has so far given me a half hour here and there to do my own thing at the computer, under Baby SSG’s supervision, of course.
