Weekly Weigh-In

Had the weigh-in last night. Lost 2 POUNDS! Pretty excited about that loss for one week. That means I only have 7.2 pounds to go to reach my goal. I have been at this now for 17 weeks and have lost an average of 1.4 pounds per week. SO, at this rate I will be down to my goal in just over 5 weeks….I won’t make it by Memorial Day weekend, but shortly after that! I WILL make it to goal by Jamaica, and that has been the ultimate goal all along….SO here goes for another week!!

Blake had to go to my ww meeting with me last night b/c his daddy was taking a test. He REALLY enjoyed it I think. All of the clapping was fun for him!!

I have more info on his 4 month check-up that we went to yesterday too…I will post that later!

Wedding bells….

Hard to believe that the wedding is less than 5 months away! I am getting super excited. We picked out the bridesmaid dresses and I LOVE them. I tried it on, just to be sure, and it was super comfortable and super flattering. All of the girls are going to look b-e-a-u-tiful! We are going with navy blue as the color. We have six bridesmaids and six groomsmen, so it will be a big wedding party!



We still need to pick out the tuxes for the boys. I have been nagging Ryan, but there is always something that ne NEEDS to do, and he just doesn’t have time to go check them out.

My mom also ordered her dress and she looks GREAT in it! This is a picture, but it comes with a cute little jacket too! She is getting this platinum color, which will look perfect with the navy!

Sickly….

I am SICK. Had to stay home from work today. I am so stuffed up that I can breath out of my nose! We just can’t get this bug out of our house. We have ALL been sick. My mom came over this morning to take care of Blake, and I stayed in bed til 11!! And I was seriously SLEEPING…not just layin there. Hopefully all of the extra rest will help and I will feel back to normal by tomorrow.

The good news is that Blake seems to be feeling back to his old self. He is laying on the floor and talking as I type. He has really been mastering the whole rolling over thing…getting pretty good at it! Also really enjoying eating his cereal. He has been at it for a couple of weeks and is an old pro already!

He has his 4 month check-up tomorrow, so I am anxious to hear what his doctor has to say!!

Blake and my mom...he just LOVES his grandma :)

Weekend re-cap….

As usual the weekend flew by, and I didn’t even know what we got accomplished! The weekends ALWAYS go so fast.

On Friday night Ryan went up north with the boys to ‘prepare’ for fishing. My mom, Mary, Blake, and I went to the Maple Syrup Festival and walked around and watched the parade. Blake seemed to really get a kick out of all of the lights and noise.

On Saturday we had a taste testing for the wedding reception. The food was great and we made a decision on the menu. Pretty exciting…and one step closer to our big day.

After the tasting, Ryan and I had to meet with our Priest to start our pre-wedding classes. This first one was pretty much just to fill out paperwork. Pretty exciting though, nonetheless.

After our meeting Ryan went up north to fish. I hung out with the fam, and then us girls headed up there. We were going to sit around the campfire…but that didn’t happen, since it was raining. We just had dinner and came home.

On Saturday evening I started coming down with a cold…yesterday it was bad…and today it is even worse! My nose is running like crazy….I just hope that I don’t give it back to Blake!

I am finally posting the pictures from Blake's baptism (04.19.09)

Weekly weigh-in

I had to weigh in a day late this week because I had a work event out of town on Wednesday night. SO, I weighed in last night and went to that meeting instead. I lost 1 pound! SO….now only 9.2 to go until I reach my goal and become lifetime again! I REALLY want to reach this goal before we leave for Jamaica. If I lose about a pound a week I will make it…

I have been doing this for 16 weeks now. I havent missed a weigh-in or meeting for the entire 16 weeks, so that is pretty exciting! I have averaged a 1.4 pound per week weight loss, so keep your fingers crossed that I can keep it up!

Haven’t been working out enough, but hopefully soon I will have more time…and more motivation!!

Hmmmm….

What to blog about…no big news. I guess no news is good news!
B slept well again last night, so he must be feeling better. Still waking up with a crusty nose, but he’s smiling again, so that is GREAT.

Hard to believe that it is Thursday afternoon already!! The week is flying by. Was supposed to have the next draft of my paper done….for graduation (which is in 17 days)…..but I DON’T. Not even close really. This is getting BAD. Really BAD. I don’t know what is going to happen if I don’t finish. I will have to push back graduation and pay extra for ‘continuing ed’ credits…that is just ridiculous. I can’t believe that I have let myself get this far behind. Very unlike me! I never used to be like this.

I just have WAY more important things in life now than HOMEWORK! Like my baby…and my man….and America Idol….and Biggest Loser….and anything else that occupies my time!

Busy weekend with a tasting for the wedding reception and a meeting with the priest about the marriage! Hard to believe that we are getting married in 5 short months! YAY!

my boys...

24 hours…

24 hours has made a world of difference for little Blakers. He is feeling s much better already. He is still sneezing and coughing a bit, but you can just tell that he feels so much better! He is smiling today and kicking around. He is even eating his cereal like a champ again! Thank goodness.

I am off to an event for work this evening, so Blake and daddy will be bachelors at home! Because of my event I will have to wait until tomorrow night to weigh-in, so I will post how I did after that! I have been struggling a bit, so I bet it won’t be a very good week!

Hard to believe that it is Wednesday already…the weeks are just flying by. Blake will be 19 weeks old this Saturday. Ryan’s brother’s wife Arlee is due to have her baby on Monday. We are so excited for our new little niece and cousin to get here! Once we see her I am sure that our baby boy will seem so big!!

I just can resist posting this precious this little face...
