First Post Pregnancy Bike Race!
Competed in my first post-pregnancy bike race today at the Bethel Spring Series – a series of criterium races held every spring about 40 minutes from my home. The day started out slightly overcast and pretty chilly but during the almost 20 mile/22 loop race the sun came out and everyone warmed up quickly. Luckily the pace was pretty controlled and there were no major attacks which made for a nice and gentle way to ease back into racing. I was able to lead one lap but spent most of the time in the pack conserving energy for the sprint finish. Unfortunately, I got stuck in traffic at the finish so was not able to finish well – but these races are just for fun, to get the legs going and work on bike skills for me.
Tod’s Point
I absolutely love Tod’s Point down in Old Greenwich. It’s a perfect place to sun, sand, run, bike, row, etc..
JoJo and I took the babies there with the Runabout – I ran, Jojo in-lined and the babies loved it!

Shoots and Snot
So the week started with Evie on the mend – but very snotty. She seems to have formed a gross habit of trying to lick it. Gross! Over the course of the week the boys, Tim and I also seemed to catch the cold which we all blamed on Jojo who brought it back from Shelton last week. I think she must feel guilty because throughout the week when the babies (read Cam) would wake in the middle of the night she would conveniently be up and ready to sweep him up and snuggle. Totally unnecessary, very thoughtful and much appreciated as I suffer through my own sinus hell.
Due to the sickness, we didn’t do much other than stay cooped up inside, wipe boogers, blow noses and I had a little time to work and work out. The babies also tried spaghetti – Campbell went absolutely bonkers over it!

Wednesday, Calder seemed to take a turn for the worse and his cough resembled a barking seal. I quickly took him to the walk-in round the corner and they gave him a steroid shot for croup. I think it did the trick as he slept soundly that night and woke to a normal sounding cough and was a bit perkier.
Friday, was the babies 10 month birthday! We celebrated by each baby having one on one time. Calder stayed home with my mom since he was still under quarantine. Campbell went to lap sit with Jojo and Evie and I headed into the city for our first shoot for Parents Magazine! It was a lot of fun! I got to spend some special one on one time with little miss, she loved being in front of the camera and hopefully we will have a special memento come June/July.

1, 2, 3 Play Dates!
This week was hectic – with work, training and play dates!
Monday we had a play date with “J” who is a few days older than my munchkins – his grandpa was ITU Age Group World Champion this year so lots of good sporting genes although athletics during this date comprised of crawling on the floor and standing at an activity center.
Wednesday we had a play date with “S & S” – twins born a few weeks after my guys. Their mom is super creative – she has stations set up with activities for them to do – there is a tent, a crawling tunnel, a sushi bar, you name it she has it and most of it she made herself! My trio seemed to be in awe of everything to do at her house and it gave me some ideas on what to do at mine.
Friday we had a play date with “C, A, & G” – triplets who are almost 18 months old. I was a little weary going into this play date because of the age difference between our two sets of triplets – but everyone seemed to get a long great! They are such well behaved little girls and didn’t mind my guys playing with all of their stuff.

The Meat Locker
After receiving a door jumper from a friend of mine, I quickly realized how much my guys absolutely love the thing. I also really like the way they can be put up and taken down easily and they don’t take up much room when not being used. This is a major advantage over the traditional activity centers and jumpers which have taken over my living room. So, I quickly decided to get two more and now have a jumperoo station at the end of the hall which we affectionately call the meat locker. Now everyone can bounce at the same time and it gives me (or whomever is watching the munchkins) 15 minutes of not chasing after a baby.
