I don't remember Zachary leaving the hotel room because I had finally fallen asleep and was out when his alarm went off and as he got ready. I woke up with my alarm at 7:00, pumped and Mo and I got the kids ready and we headed off to see as much of the race as possible. We contemplated using the metro to ride around to minimize the walking but considering how crowded we thought the metro might be and considering the fact that we are two able bodied people, we decided to walk everywhere. We took a very nice, leisurely walk to where we could watch the runners go by the 11 mile mark. We were getting text messages keeping us updated on where Zachary was in the race and we were able to see him run by.
From there, we walked to the finish line. That doesn't sound like a lot of walking but boy, oh boy, when you're pushing a stroller as Mo was or "wearing" a baby, it's a bit of a trek- we definitely got our exercise in. Liam and Malia were the perfect little babies- Liam needed to get out of the stroller once to move his legs but he did really well and Malia was just as content as could be in the baby carrier. Because of the lack of sleep, Zachary did not do as well as he wanted to- it's amazing to me that he traveled 26.2 miles using only his body but at a certain point his body, as he put it, just gave up on him. He still finished it and did a remarkable job but he had trained really hard and had an expectation that he didn't meet. It was a quiet ride home. Spoiler alert: he would run another marathon in two weeks and he killed it!
Miss Malia Mae is 2 months old today! Her tummy time has turned into
scoot all around the room time and she loves being in the baby carrier
close to mom (mom loves it too)! Her eyelashes have gotten so long, her
eyes have turned from blue/grey to a light blue and she's gotten so
tall. We love our little lady!
So Malia threw up on the bed. I remember when Liam would projectile vomit every single day. Malia has thrown up maybe three times in her life. However- this one was a doozy. We changed the sheets and then laid her on the pretty white sheets for some nice pictures :)
Also it was try the Moby wrap day. I've been using the ErgoBaby carrier but I had left it in the car and Malia was too fussy to waste time going to the car to get the carrier so I watched a video and spent 5x as much time trying to figure out this thing.
