I’m thankful for…

1) My health and well-being: I had a smooth and pretty easy pregnancy, uneventful labor and delivery, and a quick recovery.  I’m also 4 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight.  Woohoo!

2) My husband: He worries for us.  He cooks for me.  He loves me no matter what.

3) My family: They’re always there for me even if they live far away.  I feel so lucky to have had my mom around to help during Kumquat’s first 6 weeks of life.  It’s also been so nice to have Jason and Jia back in California and in the Bay Area now!

4) My friends: They’ve helped me through some of the toughest parts of this year and have celebrated with me during my happiest moments.

5) My beautiful baby girl: I’m thankful for such a healthy (sturdy!), happy, and thriving baby.  She brings me so much joy and I’m so proud of all that she’s already accomplished these past 7 months.

This is truly my favorite holiday of the year.  Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!

Turkey Trot

This morning, I ran my first race since Kumquat was born.  It was especially cool because I also got to run with Ranee on her first-ever 5K!

The race started outside of my house, went along Embarcadero, turned left onto Howard, then up 7th St. to end at City Hall.

At the 3-mile mark, Jamie handed Sophie over to Ranee and she ran with her in her arms across the finish line.  That was pretty cute.

We were rewarded with a long-sleeved shirt that said “Jog your giblets off!” on the back.  Haha.  Funny.  Also, instead of taking Muni, we ran another mile to the Peet’s on the way home and then walked the rest of the way back.  I certainly earned my Thanksgiving feast this year!!
