MIA

Hi everyone… I apologize for not being here in quite some time, but like always – there’s been a lot going on… I just finished a huge 2+ month project at work, and there’s more projects in the pipeline so I won’t get much of a break there… There has also been some exciting stuff going on regarding the house situation, but I can’t really talk about it yet so stay tuned!

And then there’s Deck who turned 6-months on the 17th – he continues to grow right before our eyes and I swear he changes everyday… He is up to 18 lbs 8 ozs and is 27 inches long, and was a trooper during his last round of shots… He’s still enjoying cereal for dinner and has dabbled in green beans, sweet potatoes, peas, and this week – it was bananas… He sits up really well and has attempted to rollover, but hasn’t made it a daily thing yet… He definitely has his favorite toys in each room, and loves to talk to us before and after work… Eric loves the time they have together after work, and I get to enjoy him in the morning when he’s being fed… As for sleeping – he’s slept from 9:30-6:00 a couple times, but the majority of the time, he’s up between 4:30-4:45 and won’t go back down without nursing… If it’s a good night, like last night, he was happy with a pacifier so I’ll keep trying that… I’m used to getting between 6-7 hours of sleep at this point – sometimes its less and sometimes it’s more on the weekends…

And in other news – I joined WW 2 weeks ago and so far, so good… I’m down almost 5 pounds, but know if I exercised more, I would see better progress… We’ve gone for some walks after work with Deck and that’s been great, but I need to walk for longer than 30-mins and do more hills for sure… I haven’t started back at the gym yet, but am thinking it’s time to start now that my big work project is done… Either way, I need to lose weight regardless – nothing fits and I’ve had to buy yet more clothes in a size I haven’t seen for a very long time… Talk about a wakeup call… If you look at the top menu, I’ve created a progress page and will update that once a week…

Well, that’s about all for now… Deck and I are headed to Allentown to see my friend from college, her 11-month old twins, and another mutual friend that is due in July… I haven’t seen either of them since before I had Deck so I’m looking forward to seeing them and getting some much needed girl-time…

I hope you have a wonderful weekend and Happy Easter…
