Update!!!!! December 22, 2006

Hello!!! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!! I'm doing really well! I have been deadly sick with the worst cold I think I've ever had this past week! But I finally feel human again today! Other than the alien in the belly beating me up!! :) I still think of that scene in Alien when the creature pops out of that guys chest, every time the baby moves alot! But I love it, it's like nothing I've ever felt before!!! I'm ready and excited for christmas, this year I at least have an excuse for the big belly! I've only gained three lbs so far! But my doc isn't concerned as the baby is measuring and doing just perfect!!! I don't think I've been happier! It's funny usually pg women hormones cause nasty mood swings, but everyone says I've never been so stable! What does that say about me before?. :p I think I'm made for this pregnancy stuff, I must say I'm pretty good at it!!

The bad news... I've lost my job! They have decided not to renew our lease and move everything but us to another office about an hour away!!! Today is my last day! I was really upset at first, spending all the money and time to go to school. but now I feel as if one chapter of my life is ending and a new one is beggining!! I'm actually very excited for the future, and I know that after the baby comes, I will meet those weight loss health goals!!! I can feel it!!!
TTFN!!!!
 
LOOK WHAT SANTA HAS BROUGHT ME!! My friend!!! *jumps up and down*

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey girl! Sooooooooo happy, happy to see you. I'm sorry that you had that nasty cold...I swear its going around, I thought it was going to kill me! :D Sure..I can laugh about it now. I'm VERY happy to hear that the little one is doing just fine. Sounds like you're the picture of health!

As for your Alien reference, I swear its JUST like that. I used to tell my friends that when I was pregnant with my daughter and they'd ask. It's SO parallel. :p

I was bummed to hear about the job but I love your positive outlook on this. You're just the greatest. Have I mentioned that I'm thrilled that you came back for Christmas!!!

I sincerely wish,with all my heart, that you and your family have the most beautiful Christmas holiday EVER! *Big hugs* Love Ya!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I wanted to stop in and post so I keep the weight loss and health goals at the front of my mind this year!! I really want to get going, new year, new changes happening!! It was strange not going to work today, but I'm happy being at home!

My new years resolution is to become more organized and get healthier! I can't do too much in the way of working out and what not, but I'm going to try to eat healthier. I want to try to get on some of sched with it so that it may stick better once the baby arrives! I want to just eat healthier foods and cook more, and get more basic exercise in like walking and stretching!! Also my hubby needs to drop some pounds too so if I cook healthy meals and make him walk with me that should really help! He just needs to go to the gym on his own!

I also want to try to get my house cleaner, and more organized, and try to work on getting some financial stuff in order before baby comes. Just so i don't have to worry about thing, but taking care of the wee one and trying to sleep whenever possible! Do you think I'm nesting?. :D my back is killing me after being in a car for 12 hrs and sleeping on a crappy bed over the holidays! I have a massage tonight...thank the lord!!!!!!

Oh and I was spoiled this christmas!!! I got a ton of stuff! I thought it would all be baby stuff, but everyone got me things I liked! my last christmas they said, next year all baby! Hubby bought me an ice cream maker!! Not sure if that's a good thing or not yet! But he said it would be healthier b/c I could put what I wanted in and make sorbets and stuff without all the preservatives and crap! So we'll see, I hope I have the will power to not add extra candies and cream!! Stick to fruit and yogurt right!!! :p Well, need to get to work, house is a disaster after the holidays!!! I'll check back in soon!!!
 
Trying yet again!

Hello! Long time no sleep! LOL!
Just kidding, boy having babies is hard work! I expected to be tired but man this sucks. I have a beautiful baby boy named Bennett Richard. But we call him Ben! He was born april 12th at 6:02pm weighing 7lbs 2oz and was 19 1/2" long. He is now 2mnths and weighs 13lbs 9oz!!! So ya he takes after his chubby mama. But he looks cute and his mama loves those chubby cheeks. He is a cranky baby but it's all worth just one smile. Okay onto weight loss for me!

I was at an all time high of 215lbs right before Ben was born. I was 179.5lbs this morning!!! YAY!!! I have done nothing thus far to get here, breastfeeding has worked wonders. I have been really bad actually, it's hard to cook when your'e so tired, so we eat out alot!! We have had pizza almost once every week for the past 3wks!! Yuck! So it's time to get back on this thing. I don't want to be fat any longer. Oh and the joys of having a baby means a flabby belly, like jello which is not pretty! So crunchies are def in my future!!! Jay is away next week so eating well might pose a problem, so my goal for the next week is to drink 1L of water everyday!!!

So here's to new beginnings!
