Hi guys, I just woke up from my nap. You saying hi? Hi! Say hey guys, we're back from our walk. Say hi guys, we're back from our walk. Oh, Mimi, don't cry. We'll go for another walk later. So we just got back from our walk. It was a good walk. Um, I have to make the bed and clean up the room a little bit, but I feel like the only way I can get stuff done is if she watches the show on YouTube and it's called Hey Bear. She like loves this show. Anyways, that's what I'm gonna put on right now. It's like Literally the show. Hey Bear! Yay for Hey Bear! Okay, while she's watching that, I really want to just clean up a little bit. Um, I cleaned up her nursery last video. Why am I not in focus? Okay, I think I am now. Um, but this video I really want to just kind of do a day in my life, but I'm also really wanting to do my closet. A lot of my stuff doesn't fit me or it's for winter, so I have like a lot of sweaters, hoodies, all that. And I kind of just want to clear everything that I'm not using now out of that closet into the other closet and make room for new stuff. That's what we're basically doing today. My hair is like literally disgusting today, but Arabella just went down for her nap. Thank God. She has been literally the crankiest baby ever. I don't know why, um, and she just started kind of doing this lately. Um, she's just like not really sleeping that well, and I don't, I don't know why because we haven't changed anything. But yeah, anyway, I need to get my closet done. As you guys can see, it's a mess. So that's what we're gonna do. I have a bunch of clothes on the side over there that I want to add into my closet, but I think the best thing to do now is just take stuff out and kind of go from there. Okay, this is what we're left with. This is all of Sam's side. This is my side. I do have a couple more clothes, um, in my other room, but this is what right now I like to wear, and the only thing that really fits me too. So I'm gonna do a color coordinated, but let me go get the other clothes. And then this is all the stuff that has to go in the other room that either doesn't fit me, is maternity, or winter. And then these are all my comfy clothes, like big t-shirts, and then this dress. Debating whether or not to get rid of this dress. Because I just don't really know. It's cute though. Okay, so a lot of this pile is all the stuff I loved before I was pregnant, um, and I'm gonna try and fit into. My postpartum journey has been on a standstill. I'm trying though. We've been doing walks every day and working out. It's just so hard to work out with the newborn because she literally wants to be on me every single second of the day. And I don't want to do that. I mean, I do, but I want to like work out too, you know what I mean? So we're gonna put all this back. This is gonna be like my motivation to fit into again, and yeah, kind of see where it goes. And then we will move this back into the other room. Okay, just finished the closet. Um, I still need to do my shoes and then the bags at the top, but this is what it's looking like. I'm pretty proud. Not too much stuff, but just enough, I think. I still need to add a couple of my jeans, but looks good so far. So what I did was workout stuff in the front, then it goes to black bodysuits. Then I think black bodysuits, then dresses, then shirts, and then it just follows through the colors as well. Next thing is shoes because I really need to do that. But first, let's move all this because if she wakes up, I don't want to have a mess in my room. So let's do that really fast. Okay, just finished. I hung up all my pants, brought everything over there. I still don't know what I'm gonna do with these shirts because I love them. I just don't know what to do with them. Now on to shoes. So the game plan is if I don't really use them, I don't need them in here. And I need to be realistic because I have a lot of shoes. Okay, shoes are looking much better. These are all the ones that are going in the other room. Now to tackle up there. So Arabella is still sleeping. She had a really bad night last night and was up like every 2 hours. Oh, it's really bright in here, but it is 1:06 now. I'm going to make some lunch cuz I'm starving, and yeah, see if she'll wake up. Yum! Jambalaya, no meat. So good. I try to eat before she wakes up because she, she's really clingy and she wants me to hold her 24/7. So I'm gonna eat really fast and then— she's still sleeping right now, but she's starting to wake up, so I'm gonna eat and then go get her. Just finished my lunch. It was so good. Um, I'm trying to get back on the whole jambalaya thing because I was doing so good with my weight loss journey, and I was literally eating jambalaya every single day because it's so spicy. So I'm trying to get back to that because I want to be fit. Anyways, she's still sleeping right now, and I have a couple emails I have to do before she wakes up. I guess I'll do them now. Well, she's still sleeping, so this like never happens. This is so weird. Um, I'm gonna do the dishwasher and load it too. Say hi guys, I'm gonna eat. Say hi guys, time to eat my lunch. Yeah, time to eat fresh diaper. Huh? Mmm, the yum yum bubbles. Yummy bubbles. What do you see? What do you see? Me, me, me, me. What do you see? What do you see, baby girl? Arabella. Is that your name, Arabella? That's the cutest Arabella girl I've ever seen. It's the cutest Arabella I've ever seen. Go "oh." Go "brrr." Why do you do that with your head? What do you want to say? Who's that pretty girl? Who's that? Are you scared of the camera? Hi guys, I just woke up from my nap. You saying hi? Hi! She just had a bottle. I'm gonna go take her upstairs probably to go watch some Hey Bear, but my camera's about to die, so I'm gonna charge it really fast. So she is currently watching a new show. Oh, commercial. Do you like your new show? That's fun. And I'm currently eating frozen cookies because they're so good. This was the show she was watching. It's a little bit later. So funny, whenever she watches her show, she's over it within like 5 minutes. So this wrap has been such a blessing because she just loves to be with me and on me 24/7. So yeah, she's taking a nap right now on me. We're just chilling on the couch. She's been like super good today, which is not her normal. I mean, she's a good baby, but she has her off days. Yesterday was definitely an off day for her, even last night. So it's kind of nice that she's just like relaxing right now, but she'll probably get a tub later. Right now we're just like relaxing, which is so nice. I'm not really sure what the last thing I updated you guys on, but it is the next day. And basically last night we had some dinner and then she fell asleep pretty early and then didn't wake up until 6 this morning. So it was the first night she slept through the night, which is amazing. But yeah, that was really it. We didn't really do much yesterday. Right now she's watching a show. She's currently watching this show, supposed to help her eyes. You like this show? Is this your show, girl? Yeah. Anyways guys, that is it for today's video. Don't forget to like, comment, and subscribe, and I'll see you guys in my next video. Bye guys!
