Ski Dreams

[mollmeister]

The last few nights I have been dreaming of skiing. Not even of doing anything challenging, which is how I used to dream of skiing, but just being outside in the snow, on the hill, enjoying a bluebird powder day. Savoring that feeling of floating, and getting first tracks, alone, ahead of the crowd on a steep pitch with fluff up past my knees. I wake up still feeling skiing in my legs.

Anyone else dreaming about skiing? Every night?

Of course, this may have something to with the fact that I gave birth to my second son almost six weeks ago. . . I am currently barely making it to the grocery store and on walks around the neighborhood, much less hitting the hill. Crossing my fingers that I can get some friends to volunteer to swap out some runs with me from the lodge at the top of the gondola after Christmas, so I can mix breastfeeding and skiing, as I did after the birth of my first!

Hey there, Mollmeister! We haven't seen you around here for a looooong time! And with good reason, it seems. Congratulations on the birth of your son! Hope everyone is doing well.

As for your dreams -- you actually have time to sleep?????:D

This one's actually letting me sleep OK for a six week old (better than his brother did, at least. . . sometimes I even get four hours of sleep in a row. . . sometimes, anyway. . .). It's the days that are hard. Big brother is jealous, and the little one wants to be held all the time. Yells if you set him down. Skiing this winter could be. . . *interesting.*

But I hold out hope. Son #1 had his first lift ticket (for the gondola, so I could trade out runs and ski) at 11 weeks!

Congrats on son #2 Mollmeister. I'm impressed that you are finding time to read and post with a new baby and a toddler.
