BLAH!

I am dreading the weekend. I have to go back out there and search for a ball gown for the ball that Doug and I are going to at the end of the month. I went this past weekend and hated every moment of it. I am still not at the weight that I want to be and the dresses aren't fitting the way they are suppose to. Everyone keeps telling me that I just had a baby 2 months ago and not to feel bad.. but it isn't that easy. I feel like my self-esteem has gone out the window. I am doing so well on weight watchers and I work out when I have the energy. I hate feeling this way...ERR!! I am hoping it passes soon! On a more positive note.... We had another play date at the house today and Isabella did so well with the other children. I walked by her at one point and she was playing so nicely. Made me so proud! She is growing up way too fast! Andrew is having a fussy day today.. hoping he is just having an off day. He is very cranky and spitting up a lot! He is such a trooper.. still smiles like crazy. Gosh that smile gets to my heart every time!!! He is just the sweetest little guy!

Where did the 2 months go?

My baby boy turned 2 months on Tuesday! Where did the time go? I am really enjoying watching him grow!! He is starting to talk (well, baby talk that is) and follow me with his baby blue eyes! Those eyes just melt my heart when he looks at me. We took him to the GI doctor on Thursday and she was very nice. She switched Andrew from zantac to prevacid. I am really praying this new drug works. It breaks my heart to see him in pain. We on average change his clothes 5 times a day due to all the spitting up! I took him to the pediatrician yesterday for his 2 month checkup. He weighed in at 14 pounds 4 ounces and is 23 inches long. He is as big as Isabella was at 4 months old. He got 3 shots and and an oral. I have never heard him cry as hard as he did. He really tore on my heartstrings yesterday. He didn't have any allergic reactions to the shots and made it through the night without any problems. Isabella is still having a hard time. She still throws her little tantrums and is very stubborn. We have started giving her timeouts when she shows inappropriate behavior. It seems to be working. When she does something that she isn't suppose to all I have to do is ask if she wants a time out and she quickly replies with a NO! She has been pretty good at correcting her behavior. I am still doing weight watchers. I had a loss of 2.2 pounds this week. It has definitely gotten easier. I know what foods fill me up and I know what foods to avoid. Those of you that know me know that I absolutely love my sweets! I have filled the pantry with weight watcher desserts that are only one point and they satisfy my cravings. I am anxious to see how this week goes!! My goal is to lose another 2 pounds!!

GOOD DAY!!

Well, I went to my weight watcher meeting on Saturday to learn that I only lost .2 pounds. I felt a little defeated then thought to myself that it was better than gaining! Well, our leader gave us the challenge of calculating and writing down all of our points this week. I always love a challenge, so I am doing just that. I was pleasantly surprised this morning to learn that I lost 1.4 pounds! Made me feel so good inside and gave me the confidence that I needed.. I will lose this weight by the end of April! Working out is also making me feel better. I have more energy than I have had in a while. Isabella is talking more and more these days... yesterday she saw a toy and told everyone that it needed batteries!! I fall more in love with my two children each day! Andrew is starting to coo more and smile more. His smile just melts my heart and lights up the room. I feel so lucky to have these two little bundles in my life. They bring me so much joy. Yesterday was the 6 year anniversary of Doug and I meeting! He has brought me so much happiness in these 6 years! I look so forward to the many years to come together. I can't imagine life much better than it is right now!!! Cheers to a great day!!!

What is the saying? Patience is a virtue?????

Isabella is definitely testing my patience lately. She is so whiny!! I ask her what is wrong and she just stands there and cries. I am beside myself today because Doug is working late. Her and I made smoothies and she thought it was fun, however she was mad that she had to drink hers out of her sippy cup! I did make the resolution to try and be more patient with her and boy is it HARD! I have to understand that she is getting the last two eye teeth and she is probably in pain. GOD please give me the strength and while I am at it.. please have Andrew teeth much easier than his sister ever did!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Happy New Year!! I can hardly believe it is the year 2010. So many people have New Years resolutions and of course I have mine. I am going to try and be more patient, lose all the weight and then some that I gained during pregnancy, cook more dinners and make healthier choices. Doug and I went to Kruse and Muer for dinner this year. Thanks to my mom we were able to enjoy a relaxing dinner for just the two of us. It was absolutely delicious! I am looking so forward to watching my two babies grow this year. I have a feeling 2010 is going to be a great year!
