Day 51...cousins

Mar 11

Today I went to the pregnancy care center where my mom volunteers on Friday afternoons, with her so I could use her car for a couple hours. It still feels strange driving around in San Diego (county) and knowing places, and how to get to places, but it's not home anymore. Still, I enjoyed driving more than I thought I would, even though I kind of had to re-learn how to drive in CA.

After I dropped mom off, I took Martyn over to my cousin Norma's salon, to visit. I caught her there at a good time, and several old ladies got to oooh and aaah over Martyn...He's such a little flirt! He just was so good, and quiet and smiled at everyone, and got passed around. He was done by the end, but he maintained for 2 hours at least, I was so proud of him. It was a little warmer than either of us are used to as well, and he handled that like a champ. It's odd to have to pull the sun shade over his car seat, so the sun is not shining right in his face.

Coming to visit my mom was a great idea as far as eating healthy goes. She's been feeding me such good food! She and Jack get almost all of their veggies from their own garden, so it's all fresh and is getting me excited about getting our garden going this spring and summer....or at the very least, that summer is right around the corner which means all the farmers markets will be open again. I've missed having good fresh fruit and veggies, and have totally slacked on good nutrition in the last month. I was doing ok for the first few weeks after Martyn was born, but just got lazy.
This has been a good reminder for me to keep up the good eating, not only for my sake, but especially for Martyn's sake....good nutrition in Mama, makes a healthy baby-both in the womb and out.
