1) Since you buy the big box of produce, you feel obligated to eat it, whereas if it's up to me I may buzz through the grocery store, grab apples and bananas for the week and call it good. 2) it gives you a variety of locally grown, organic produce, and you may end up actually trying things you never have before (gasp) because it's in season. 3) you spend that money anyway, why not spend it supporting local farmers? So while I am not doing this to lose weight (breast feeding is taking care of that for me, thank you very much), I am going to keep track of the healthy side effects of this "eating more fruits and veggies" phase and I promise to share my results with you. My husband might even become one of my scientific experiments (Shhh)

Now don't be intimidated by this new, über healthy me- I am writing this as I finish a quarter pounder from McDonalds. But like many new habits, they begin with baby steps. So if that quarter pounder happens to motivate me to eat a pound of bok choy tonight, then I am still better off for it. Eventually I will have so many fruits and veggies in my tummy, I won't have any room for anything else, right?
In other news, baby #2 has learned to roll over and I expect he will be crawling shortly. I try not to think about how it will be to have 2 mobile children under the age of 2.
Baby #1 is successfully sleeping in a toddler bed at night and surprisingly that wasn't really a difficult transition- for him anyway. Mom and dad cry almost every night because it's hard to see babies grow up so fast.
Finally, after working a 12 hour day +being on call overnight my husband will be on vacation as of Friday morning. Wonder what kind of shenanigans we will get ourselves into? Can't wait to find out.
