I am getting better at organizing my day. I actually managed to take a shower and bake some things. I made the banana bread using up the old bananas this morning, and then I made the apricot cream cheese scones with a blender. They come out really light and fluffy with the blender, and it takes about 15 minutes to put together these deadly fattening puffs. Really yummy, if I do say so myself. Matt says so too. I breastfed Samantha twice today, and both times went really well. I had time to prepare a bit so we were both calm to start with. Big surprise, that made things easier! I also went to the grocery store for an hour while she slept this afternoon. She slept so deeply and quietly, I really did have to come upstairs and peek at her to make sure she was okay (we have a baby monitor for sound, not picture). She was fine, just sleeping really well. Matt got his work done, I did errands and laundry, and a good day was had by all.

Ooh, I am starting to heal much better. I took Ella for a walk again tonight. We went last night too, and I even enjoyed walking in the rain. She just makes it so fun to be out and about. She loves sniffing everything and I can just imagine her collecting all the neighborhood gossip left behind by all the other neighborhood animals. This is one special puppy and I love her very much. She gets me out a gives me some exercise whther I want to or not, and that is a very good thing. I am sore from the exercise, even just walking around the block, but I go anyway. I can already see a difference in how fast and far I can walk.
