23-6-2010 - Wyatt @ 2 1/2 months

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

Well, it's safe to say I have a meatball for a baby boy! At his 2m check up (he was 2 1/2m), he was 15lbs 9oz! He's a chunky fellar, with thunder thighs like his mommy :) He's still nursing and sometimes he sleeps through the night. He's a really good baby overall.. I love it!

Alyvia is doing well too. She's 29lbs now. She was 30lbs right before her birthday, but she got sick and wasn't eating, so she got down to 28lbs. At least she's gaining it back :) She's a pretty good eater. There are foods that I can't get her to eat at all (like beans for one.. which is important cuz we're vegetarians!) and she refuses to drink milk. Even if it's chocolate. But she's healthy - she surprises her doctors cuz of how healthy she is lol. She's such an independant little girl, it makes me sad! She wants to do everything herself and refuses help from mommy and daddy. Still isn't potty trained... I have to have a couple days of just staying home where I can really concentrate on it, but I find it very hard since we're always gone for appts or something else. And if we aren't, I'm usually doing school work or dealing with Wyatt. So it's been challenging! We'll get there though :)

I'm doing ok. I'm just super busy and really tired... There aren't enough hours in a day! I've been trying to get to the gym, but with fulltime school and the kids, it's nearly impossible. Because of that and my love/hate relationship with Starbucks frappuccinos, I'm GAINING weight instead of losing it... :( I'm having a really hard time with body image right now and I'm not very happy with myself. Especially with it being summer... I can't hide in sweats and hoodies! So if you ladies have any ideas... please let me know! We went to Chicago last weekend to visit my inlaws and spent saturday at the lake. I got burned VERY bad. I have a 2nd degree burn on my back and it's covered in blisters. It's starting to heal now (and it itches like crazy) but it's still not healed to the point where I can wear a bra comfortably. So even though I want to get to the gym, I can't because of it. I wish I could lose weight as well as I can gain it! Haha!

Hope you ladies are doing well, and same with the babies! Our power just switched back on so I need to get some things done. Take care!
