The Return of Fat Tuesday

First of all I know its Thursday but I figure I might as well start now.
Let me say first, I love being a mother more than anything in the world but I definitely don't love the weight that comes with babies. Its been 4 months today since I had Hadlee and at first I lost almost all my weight quick but 2 months in I stopped breast feeding and the weight started creeping back on. I am not going to lie the past 6 months may have been the most stressful in my life or at least close to and my eating habits haven't exactly been great. But I decided now is he time to loose that weight and feel good about myself again.
This week I decided to kick things off by going off carbs and it has made me a little miserable. While I was in the shower today wondering if it was worth it to keep on the diet I remembered when I was going through this 2 years ago and how keeping the blog helped me keep to it.
So the here we go again! My big goal is to loose 20 lbs by May. That is 4 lbs a month 1 lbs a week!
Wish me luck! I think I can I think can I think I can!!!

3 Months

Have I told you how much I hate my computer? Seriously....I wish I could blog more but it never uploads my darn pictures. When I finally get a new one I am going to have like 40 new posts :) It did allow me to put these ones on and I had to share. Most of you probably know my sister Ashlee had her baby 7 weeks after I did. Ashlee and I like to let the "best cousins" play together
for a bit every week. We always put them by each to see what they will do. I love this first one because Hadlee looks so excited to see him.
Then she decided to shove her hands in his mouth and he licked them :) It was hilarious
So Hadlee turned 3 months on Tuesday! I can't believe how fast she is growing up. She is seriously the happiest baby in the world. She is always smiling and talking. She loves loves loves to talk. I am pretty sure when she can actually speak words, between her and Brinlee, my ears may fall off :) She has started to grab at things and loves sucking her hands and pointer finger. She also loves to lick things. It is so funny. I will be burping or holding her and be like what is the weird feeling and sure enough she is licking me. She is so much fun and I love her sooo much. Brinlee loves her too. She loves holding her and feeding her and burping her. She also helps me do Hadlee's streched and is always gentle with her arm.

An update on her arm....I feel like this week we took a turn in the problems with her arm, and a turn I wasn't expecting. She is still doing very well and uses it a lot but we finally met with the neurologist on Tuesday and they are leaning more towards nerve damage instead of a stretched nerve. If that is the case it can a lot longer to heal and she may never have total range of motion in her arm, especially in her finger. I guess usually they show more improvement by now if its not as serious and so the next step is to go have some more tests run to see. She will have to be sedated and they will test her nerves to see which ones exactly are having the problems. We haven't yet schueduled it but it should be in the next month so cross your fingers it good news.
