Well, I wasn't able to stay off the keto diet but a week break was just what I needed. My blood sugar wasn't good and being postpartum as I am I didn't have the headspace to figure it out. I will wait until the baby is a bit bigger and I have more time to do this. My blood sugar was around 160 a few times after eating and that isn't good enough for me. I require under 120 to quit keto and it wasn't happening. Yes, I was disappointed. But it is okay!
We have started third grade with Reuben (8) and Kindergarten with Becky (5). Esther is just there in the middle of it all wanting milk and being cute. I am completely breastfeeding now, no more pumping. It is like the end of a long nightmare and I don't even want to remember the first 9 weeks of Esther's life. I love her, she's perfect, it's not anything to do with her. It is all the things that happened and being scared I wasn't making enough milk and trying to feed everyone and cope with my husband's sudden anxiety and health issues that cropped up right after she was born. That was a long sentence.
I've started trying to knit again and pick up a few of my hobbies--mainly violin.
Husband has been working like crazy and it has been really hard. Then we found out this week we have bats AND hornets living in our house.
I'm not making that up. We have a lot to fix this weekend and I feel quite overwhelmed.
I love Ambleside online for our school. It's life giving and we all are nourished spirally, mentally and emotionally as we read together.
I need to figure out how to cook with an infant. And communicate better with my husband. And exercise. It's impossible! My house is a mess.
