May

Exercise: I was still technically on physical restrictions for the first half of May, but was released for work and normal activities on May 15. Before that date, I did take the kids for lots of walks but did not keep track of it. After that date, I have walked a ton...definitely more than two days a week, so I was pretty proud of myself for making it a priority. I also went back to my first Power Yoga class at the very end of May. However, it's frustrating because I just can't do what I could before I got pregnant. I know I will build back up, but it doesn't make it any less frustrating.

Reading: I read another book in May, which brings me up to a grand total of 9 novels read so far this year. I am also still on track with my Bible reading schedule.

Writing: I took a break from writing the week we were on vacation in Chattanooga, but I wrote something in my family blog at least once every other week of the month.

MT Business: Since I didn't work during May, I didn't really do anything in this area.

House Projects: Nothing really happened with this, either...

Finances: We spent more on eating out this month just because of vacation, but we did decent in this area while we were home. We were over budget for groceries/toiletries a couple of weeks but came in under budget on other weeks to balance it out. We also had a yard sale but did not make as much as i had hoped, though I realize most of our items were not necessarily yard sale type items. We plan to try to sell some of the stuff left through Craigslist.

I am not sure that we will be able to save much of anything for the month of May because the medical bills definitely started coming in. While it is disappointing that we won't be able to put back much money for May (if any at all), we are going to be able to pay all our medical bills from Felix's birth with just our paychecks and we shouldn't have to move any money over from our other account.

Other events for the month of May:

Felix was baptized at the beginning of the month.

Our friends Abbie and Brian are Felix's godparents.

We spent 5 nights in Chattanooga for vacation. Hopefully someday I will get around to blogging about it:)

I rejoined Weight Watchers in the hopes of losing the rest of the baby weight sooner rather than later!
