I made the mistake of thinking it was time to go to the wider snap setting on her diaper covers, and boy did we pay the price for that! And I do mean WE. Such a mess. A "new outfits for both of us!" sort of mess. So why am I using this as my positivity project photo for today? Because I'm seriously not even bothered by this stuff anymore. Sure, it's a huge mess to try to clean up when both you and your baby are covered in poo and you don't have any help, but it just is what it is. Shit happens. Sometimes, quite literally.

Today's Positive? Being able to just roll with all of the messes this adorable girl throws at me. This is a new thing for me, really.

Exactly 2 months after giving birth to Maddy, I finally got back in the pool. I surprised myself by swimming my pre-pregnancy pace (a little over 50 seconds/lap), though I only did 16 laps instead of my usual 36. Still, a good workout. Less good was the fact that there was NO hot water in the showers afterwards. My poor babywearing muscles need a good hot shower!

Today's positives?

1. My darling girl is 2 months old
2. I've recovered pretty much completely from the havoc she wreaked on my body on the way out
3. I've got great friends in the department who are willing to watch Maddy while I swim.
4. I got to swim!!

Knit in Brooklyn Handspun "Instant Gratification" in "Celery Stalk" (from the GMDS pacakge that Marie sent me!)

Turquoise button thanks to a friend who sent me a small button stash, since I was utterly lacking in buttons.

The pattern doesn't call for it, but my goodness, a tubular cast on looks nice for that ribbing. I swear I'll never use anything else for 1x1 rib.

The perfect finish to a green Aviatrix hat, no?
