29-1-2009 - not a tooth after all

My mood while writing this blog: Happy and hot

I took Hadley today for his 4 month check. He weighs 16lbs 10oz or 7.55kg. He is 68cm long which is above normal, so all in all very good. He is doing all the things he is supposed to and more which I am proud of. She checked his so called tooth and she told me it was not a tooth but something else I cannot remember the name of but it isn’t bad. I am relieved that it isn’t a tooth as it was in a funny place in front of his gum and my other kids have had to have braces so I didn’t want him starting out behind the eight ball. Apparently it is nothing to worry about. Hadley has really begun to clasp onto things now, hair, clothes, and sheets anything at all. He pounds my boob when I am feeding and grabs a hold of whatever skin he can and applies a death grip. I have to cut his nails about twice a week and they are still sharp and long. It is 43 degrees here today which translates into Fahrenheit as 109.2 if that makes any sense- even as I am saying it I have no clue if that means hot or not, but this is like record heatwave territory for us and it is the 3^rd day of it. Lucky we have a pool and evaporative cooling. We have been sleeping well and just going for a few swims when we can. The water is warm though just like a bath. I got some photos developed today of Hadley and I showed them to him and he laughed and laughed.

In other news I have started exercising every day since Saturday, except yesterday as it was too freaking hot and I missed it. I am also trying to eat only 1200 ish calories per day but last night we had salad rolls for dinner and I am not supposed to eat carbs after 3 plus I had a couple of glasses of beer, low carb but still. It is taking a while to adjust to my new eating routine. Also I don’t do any cooking so it is hard to monitor, more so than cooking for yourself. Measured myself on the wii fit today and have lost 900g so, go me! I really want to trim down and get rid of this flabby stomach. I feel so much better though and I am super motivated to lose this extra flab.
