23-4-2009 - Just a lil update

My mood while writing this blog: happy

Hello,

How is everyone doing? I haven't blogged in a while. Everything has been so busy!!

Bentley

Is almost 3 months old! Boy, how time has flown by! I can't believe it! He's getting SO big! At his 2 month check-up he was 13lbs & 13oz & 26 inches long. He is @ 90% on height & weight! He drinks 4oz of formula & he also eats some baby food & also rice ceral. Most babies his age aren't eating that stuff yet... but he isn't your "normal" size baby. lol... He is SUCH a happy baby! He smiles, coos & LAUGHS OUT LOUD all the time! It is so cute! Gavin is SUCH a good big brother! He always hovers over Bent & says in the cutest lil voice "Smile for Gavin"! It is adorable!! Bentley has been sleeping through the night for over a month now! I am SO blessed!

Me

I have had a bumpy road. As some of you know I was diagnosed with PP depression. I started meds almost two weeks ago, and I am doing SoOoO much better!! Admitting something wasn't right with me, was one of the HARDEST thigns I've ever done! I've suffered from it since Bent was born, but I just kept telling myself it would get better! A couple of weeks ago I finally had enough of it. It took a couple of days for me to work up enough courage to actually call my doctor, but I finally did! and I'm so thankful I finally took that step. They put me on a low dose of Zoloft. And it is helping ALOT! My next appointment is May 8th. They are going to check up on me, and see how everything is going!!! Since I've had Bentley, I've lost almost 50 pounds! I'm so glad! I started tanning a couple months ago! This may sound silly, but having a tan actually boosts my self-confidence & makes me feel better! Plus it gives me time to relax eachd day & unwind!! I've been dieting & working out since March 1st! I still have a way to go.... I was no "bean pole" before I got pregnant... I was actually dieting when I got pregnant... and of course quit trying to lose weight when I found out I was pregnant. I would say I have 40 more pounds at the most to lose! My self-esteem is slowly rising since I'm losing! I feel so much better about myself!! Next week I have an appointment at an out of state weight loss clinic. They will tell me exactly how over weight I am!! I know several people who have went there, and have been very successful. I have been told that the meds they prescribe you will make you lose weight just by taking them alone... but with me dieting & exercising also.... I'll lose it even faster! I cant wait to see how it goes!! The initial visit is fairly pricey.... but each visit after that is not even half that much... and with me only needing to lose around 40 pounds, hopefully I'll only have to go there two or three times!!

School is going great! The semester is almost over... I get a little break, then I'm starting summer school! I'm taking 2 classes summer session 1, and then I'm not going summer session 2... so I'll get another little break before fall semester starts!

Working out:

I've been walking 2 miles (sometimes more) everyday! I have been working out on my gazelle & also my ab scissor & the dreaded treadmill when the weather don't permit outside walking.... and Softball. I am playing softball! It's quite a sight! lol... I'm actually halfway decent... but I havent played in 2 years, so it took me a while to get back in the swing of things. lol...

Anyway... sorry I haven't been online much lately.... it's kinda hectic keeping up with kids, marriage, house, school, and Ebay.... plus other things that have been going on! I hope to start coming back on here more often!

Have a great day,
