good morning friends and welcome to a vlog it's about 6 30 in the morning and my baby has gotten
00:00:23.220
up he's decided to change his schedule he used to be waking up at 7 15 7 45 and the last few
00:00:29.760
mornings it's been 6 30 so good news is I went to bed at 9 45 last night and he
00:00:36.060
got up a couple times the middle of the night too so I'm gonna go get him and we're gonna
00:01:04.200
all righty so I've been up for about half an hour I fed my baby I changed his diaper the house is a
00:01:21.360
little bit of a mess but the next thing that I normally do is I make myself some breakfast
00:01:25.920
and I pump because I'm usually a little bit engorged in the mornings and I'm actually not
00:01:32.520
terrible this morning but I also like building up that stash just as an easy first thing in the
00:01:37.620
morning pump and then I have extra for making him purees and I have extra to donate if I want
00:01:43.560
and stuff like that so I'm going to start by making myself some breakfast normally I either make
00:01:50.880
something a little fancier fancy aka something on the stove um which would be like eggs and toast
00:01:57.180
but usually I do that for lunch so for breakfast normally what I do is I make myself some whole fat
00:02:03.360
chobani greek yogurt with some honey and granola and then I and it's like a high protein granola
00:02:11.060
and then I also make myself a cup of decaf coffee sit there eat my breakfast pump and then um kind of get
00:02:18.720
into the rest of the day so I finished up breakfast and pumping but I wanted to show you guys this
00:02:23.720
thing from Haka it allows me to make a little breast milk ice pop for baby boy to kind of suck on and
00:02:30.320
chew on you can hear he's teething so I'm gonna go give this to him but I just think this is so cool
00:02:35.540
uh and he he's been enjoying it it's been helping I also listened to my book for book club so if you
00:02:43.680
didn't know already know I have a sub stack newsletter and on my sub stack newsletter we do book club
00:02:49.080
uh we meet up once a month for a zoom call and this month we're doing kind of a beach read something
00:02:55.640
a little more laid back because we've been doing some heavy stuff lately and it's called the undomestic
00:02:59.740
goddess by sophie kinsella it's very cute very uh on theme for my brand and we're uh I enjoy sophie
00:03:08.540
kinsella a lot I find her writing to be very fun and kind of laid back and easy so it's fun to read
00:03:14.440
so if you want to join head over to classicallyabby.substack.com
00:03:19.760
okay so mr. man is down for his first nap of the day it's about 8 20 so he went down at about 8 18
00:03:33.020
and he'll probably sleep for about an hour um I'm going to take this time to get ready for the day
00:03:41.280
so I'm gonna do my hair do my makeup and get dressed shower a little bit maybe shave we'll see
00:03:49.220
what I have time for my mom is actually coming by today to help uh so this is kind of like the first
00:03:55.920
time we're doing that she hasn't really done that quite quite a lot so she's coming by to help and I
00:04:01.040
think she's going to help with some of the chores so I don't have to spend a ton of time doing the
00:04:05.160
dishes and doing the laundry which is usually how I start my day usually the first thing I do is put
00:04:09.600
away the clean dishes wash the dirty dishes and put in a lot of laundry um but I think she's going
00:04:14.420
to help me with that a little bit so I can do some work which is super nice so I might help her out
00:04:20.960
by putting away the clean dishes so that she has room to put the washed dishes into the drying rack
00:04:28.220
because as you can see I've got some clean dishes here so yeah I know this is kind of random but I
00:04:35.620
quickly wanted to mention this toothbrush that I recently got it's an electric toothbrush it's by the
00:04:40.880
brand gleam I got it at Walgreens um but I was looking for an electric toothbrush and I really like
00:04:47.820
this one it has a little timer inside where it like buzzes to let you know kind of to move to a different
00:04:52.540
side of your mouth and then at the end it just stops after two minutes but it feels good on the
00:04:56.660
gums it's really it's like attractive so I don't know I really like it it's very affordable so I'll
00:05:02.700
link it for you guys below if you're looking for a new electric toothbrush okay so I took my shower
00:05:07.520
and I got dressed so now I have to do my hair and my makeup for the day um as you can see I have a pretty
00:05:16.580
intense wave underneath my hair the top layer never looks right so I'm going to use a waver and do the top
00:05:24.000
layer of my hair I've been curling my hair here in Florida and it just immediately falls out because
00:05:28.860
of the humidity so I don't think it's even that useful um even though I like the look of it so I'm
00:05:34.480
just going to stick with a waver we're going to put some mousse in and then I'm going to do just a little
00:05:39.640
a little bit of makeup today all righty so I am all ready for the day I did my waver I put on just
00:05:48.380
like a natural face of makeup in case I want to record a video for work today or if I want to pop
00:05:54.660
on Instagram I don't need to have a like full face of makeup on Instagram anymore if you've been
00:06:01.200
following me you might be seeing that I've been posting more videos and stories uh without makeup
00:06:07.220
because I don't think filters are good and I don't put makeup on every day but it's always nice to have
00:06:11.600
a little bit of makeup on so I don't feel self-conscious at all or anything so I also love putting on makeup I
00:06:16.780
just think it's fun and it allows me to flex my creative muscle and I just feel more put together
00:06:22.520
so I'm all put together is the end of that story and now I'm going to sit down and figure out kind
00:06:30.760
of how I want to tackle the rest of the day at this point it's about 9 15 um so he's been sleeping
00:06:36.980
for about an hour and we'll see how long he goes he's not supposed to sleep longer than two hours during
00:06:42.020
the day but he might sleep about an hour and a half so I will wake him up if needed but at this point
00:07:05.600
okay so my mom is here she uh probably doesn't want to be on camera so I won't force that on her
00:07:23.600
um but she did the dishes which was so nice and baby boy is up we fed him he didn't really want to
00:07:32.560
eat so much so he'll probably want to eat right before his nap much more and I was able to actually
00:07:37.420
shoot a picture for my Instagram which I haven't done so I can show you guys my outfit actually let
00:07:42.780
me show you my outfit in this vlog I'll go show you in his nursery because that's where the best mirror
00:07:48.120
is okay so the lighting in here isn't the best but this is my new dress I love it I don't know what
00:07:54.640
this is called if you know the name of this style of dress let me know because I would love to get more
00:07:59.160
dresses like this with this stretchy part here under the bust and then one at the waist so you get
00:08:04.120
this kind of like effect right here I don't know if you can see yeah exactly it's so pretty I just love it
00:08:10.780
and it's so flattering and I can put a shirt underneath to cover up for modesty reasons my cleavage
00:08:17.140
and I just love the print it's so pretty much more fall but like the fabric is light enough that I could
00:08:23.020
wear it all year round and yeah so I really love this dress PS this is kind of like a sneak peek
00:08:29.200
of baby boy's nursery I want to do a video on my channel talking about how I have styled his nursery
00:08:36.500
now um so let me know if that's something you guys would want to to see because this is different than
00:08:41.320
it was when I showed you the nursery reveal before he was born a lot of things have changed um but yeah
00:08:48.020
so this is my dress this is a little sneak peek of his nursery that's that's where we're at so now I'm
00:08:55.100
gonna try and do some work since my mom is here she's gonna help out with the baby which is really nice
00:08:59.060
and exciting I feel really blessed um so I'm gonna try and get some substack work done and then we will
00:09:07.240
continue with the day I mean it's only 10 40 so we're still still early in the day
00:09:13.920
okay so you're probably getting that annoying fan sound but Jacob and I are going to go to the gym
00:09:32.120
now it's um 11 45 around I need to check that I think it's around 11 45 um but Mr. Baby is down
00:09:41.800
for his nap and it's Jacob's lunch break he works from home for right now so we're gonna go to the
00:09:48.200
gym together we haven't really gotten to do this yet but because my mom is here she can stay here
00:09:52.560
with the baby while we go exercise um which is good so we're gonna go
00:09:56.980
okay so we are back from the gym oh man the lighting in here y'all it's not great because we got these
00:10:06.600
blackout curtains but that was great um I'm very hungry so I'm gonna make something to eat I'm gonna
00:10:12.920
make something for Jacob to eat and I fed Mr. Baby so he is all good um and then I have to continue
00:10:21.240
doing some work so my mom's gonna be here for a little bit longer so she can continue to help out
00:10:25.100
um but I gotta eat and then we're going to do some work and hopefully I'll get that substack newsletter
00:10:30.640
that are out today and get the rest of this week kind of planned out so that is the plan from here
00:10:37.020
but we did weight lifting which Jacob is like training me how to do it because he's trained me before
00:10:42.540
in different ways but now we're doing some new exercises really the thing is is how am I going to keep
00:10:48.520
this up with little man and then when I get pregnant again and then when we have another baby
00:10:54.960
and all that so I would like to get good at weight lifting in this interim period before we try for
00:11:01.080
another baby so that I can continue to lift healthily when I'm pregnant you're not supposed to start a new
00:11:06.940
exercise regimen when you're pregnant especially weight lifting so I want to get good at it now so
00:11:12.180
that when I'm pregnant again it's not like restarting a new thing I'm just continuing something that I'm
00:11:19.680
already trained at so that is the plan for that but um I'm gonna go make some food okay so Mr. Man
00:11:27.940
is down for his third nap of the day he took a shorter nap so he is down for that nap um I am going
00:11:35.640
to get back to doing some work uh it's been kind of odd because even though my mom has been here to
00:11:41.660
help I haven't gotten as much done as I'd hoped that's me every single day I feel like I say that
00:11:46.120
every single day but let's let's get back to it he's so tiny
00:11:50.980
I feel like this is the truth about living in Florida like this shows that we're living in
00:11:58.820
Florida that there's just a teeny lizard on the window so
00:12:01.380
hi guys I'm back for you it's been no time at all for me it's been a while
00:12:27.240
um my mom left and I am back at the computer it's really not that interesting but my day I thought
00:12:35.440
I would get more work done than I did and I haven't so now I'm trying to get a video posted
00:12:40.320
um I actually have to record a little insert for a video I'm posting because I was sweaty when I
00:12:47.020
recorded that video and I think it was just because the AC maybe wasn't cranked up really but
00:12:53.080
yeah you can tell I was sweaty in that video so surprise change of plans we were going to do
00:13:00.160
dinner at home and then I got a call that my family's all getting together for dinner so we are at
00:13:05.940
my parents and we are eating some restaurant food and hanging out with the kiddos and it's gonna be
00:13:12.860
great I I'm so happy like it's just a nice way to end this day oh and p.s. I did get my newsletter
00:13:20.420
out and people seem to like it it was about working out and exercise regimens and I also
00:13:26.540
announced our new book which I talked about earlier I think oh the things you can think by Dr. Seuss
00:13:33.020
you can think about red you can think about pink you can think up a horse oh the thinks you can think
00:13:43.760
okay we're home gave the baby his bath we read a book nursed he's in bed he's sleeping and that's
00:13:54.160
pretty much it that was my day I mean it's about eight o'clock 7 45 and I think for the rest of the
00:14:02.300
night I'm just gonna do a little more work um wash up maybe watch a show with Jacob and go to bed early
00:14:10.440
because you never know how the night's gonna go and if I go to bed late thinking it'll go well
00:14:15.000
