Making Myself Better

Yes, yes you are.
Our friends got us this onesie the day they found out we were adopting. My 8 1/2 month pregnant friend drove to the store to pick up this and a pack of newborn diapers.
Jeremy is gone and my dad is here. 
The adoption agency said that Alabama just got our paperwork today, so it’s now doubtful that we’ll get to go home until Wednesday. :( 
I called and set up an appointment with Ryland’s future pediatrician. I’ve been making so many phone calls throughout this process and have had very little phone anxiety. Major win.
My dad has to work from the hotel room most of the day tomorrow, so I may borrow his car and go somewhere for a little run. I’ve been very impressed with the number of runners I’ve seen every time Jeremy and I have gone anywhere.
I did a tiny workout today between laying Ryland down and my dad getting here: 15 dresser push ups, 15 v-ups, 20 squats, 15 side plank raises (each side), and wheelbarrow pose and camel pose to help stretch out my aching back. The one thing I wasn’t prepared for was the back pain. It’s really only when I lie down, though.
Ryland is waking now, so I need to go take care of him now.
