Crazy Daisy Days!

It's only been a little over month since my last post, and I know for some bloggers that's an eternity between posts, but for me that's actually a pretty good accomplishment. Now that my kiddo's are napping a little more in sync I am hoping to keep up on this blog a little better. They are getting so big!
Bubba is currently playing his favorite shapes game on mommy's iPhone, as I can hear "touch the cresent" from across the room. Sweetie Pie is sleeping soundly in her nursery. She naps in there during the day and then sleeps in the bassinet in our room at night. We really  need to get her moved into her nursery full time, as one good stretch in the bassinet and she is out of room in there! The nursery is all ready for her, I just need to clean off the chair in there that I will need for nursing, and get a monitor for her room. We have a video monitor in Bubba's room and I LOVE it. Especially now that he's old enough he may start trying to become an escape artist. Sweetie Pie just cries at the moment so a sound monitor will suffice for now, but eventually I want a video monitor for her too! It's just nice to be able to see what's going on in there.

I am finally getting the start up in my store that I wanted. I'm still getting used to the best search words and how to photograph my stuff properly. So far I only have 2 items up, but I did recieve an email about a custom order. A full baby set, carseat cover, nursing cover, and burp cloths! I am so very excited and can't wait to get started. I'm hoping it will help bring business, and a little extra cash into the house. I'm not asking to be some off the charts busy work at home mommy, but it would be nice to contribute a little something. Even if we just end up using it for spending cash or rainy day money. I am also waiting on an order from Ebay so I can get some Tutu's up in the shop as well. Still thinking of what I'm going to do for the little boy side of things... I was thinking superhero capes, or maybe bowties and suspenders. I am not completely sure.

The weight loss thing is still going well. Sweetie Pie is going through a growth spurt, which is normal at 3 months, but she's nursing more than usual which means I'm hungrier than usual, also normal. I feel like I'm too hungry and snacking all the time, but I'm not gaining so at least I know I'm keeping things in moderation. Now that my shoulder is feeling better I can get back to regular workouts and hopefully between that and the extra nursing I can drop some more weight. I'll tell you, there are a lot of benefits to breast feeding your baby, A LOT, but weight loss may be one of my favorites!

I know I haven't posted measurements or weight yet. I can't find my tape measure at the moment but as soon as I do I'll get that info up. As for my weight, at my last weigh in last week I was at 237, not great, but not horrible. I put 4 pounds back on at Christmas, but hey 4 pounds at Christmas? That is nothing compared to past years. Plus with all the working out I've been doing, and toddler chasing, I am only about a pound more than I was before Christmas so over all I'm doing well. I'm officially down to a size 20, and my goal is to be back down to the 12/14 size I was when I met my hubby. Not super skinny, but not heavier like I am now. Every little bit is encouraging, and let me tell you, the greatest motivator I have is my Bubba. He loves watching me do the Wii Fit game, the Kung Fu aerobics are his favorite, and he likes to do Yoga with me. Everyday he asks to "do exersizing" with me, and I love it. He holds me acountable to my goal and makes working out fun, because it's something we can do together.

Another year has passed for me and I turned 29 on January 22. It was a nice birthday. Dinner out with my hubby and his family to celebrate his dad's birthday on the 20th and mine. Everyone but K was able to be there (she's at college in Irvine, so it's a bit of a drive for a birthday dinner) so that was great because between all our schedules that is tough to do! Then on my birthday I got 2 really pretty new shirts from my hubby and the She and Him Christmas CD from Bubba and Sweetie Pie! Then once my dad was home from being TDY in Utah we had my birthday dinner with my family. Great night with lots of joking and yummy Kalbi Ribs for dinner, and I got a new Red Lumberjack plaid Fleece Robe, a cool Doctors Head-in-a-Jar shirt, some Mickey Mouse serving bowls and platter (matches my kitchen) and a great book called Creating Characters with Character! The gift were nice, but the nicest part is always the opportunity to spend time with family (on both sides) as we are so busy.

Well since both my little ones are occupied at the moment I should probably go and get things ready to start on the big order I have. I am hoping to have it completed and ready for delivery (she's local) by Sunday. Probably wishful thinking on my part, but I like to be positive about these things!

Until next time. God Bless!
