Back on the wagon...

After doing WW for a little over a month and losing about 10 pounds - I stopped. I don't remember why...but I think it's so much harder having a baby. Maybe that's just an excuse. Today I got on the treadmill for 20 minutes. I ran for about half of it and walked the other half. I figure I have to start somewhere! I did this while Logan was napping after I came home from work.

I would really like to fit back into my old clothes (mostly pants) and who knows if I ever will! People say your body changes so much after you have a baby. We got Papa Murphy's for dinner tonight - and I only had one slice. I would normally have at least 3. It's just TOO yummy! I do really good for breakfast and lunch - but once I get home I just want to snack and eat really bad. James and I really need to go grocery shopping once he gets paid on Friday. I can't wait to buy healthy food and get back on track!

4 month update!

Since Logan is now (over) 4 months old - I'm adding his picture and stats! I am going to try and do this every month so that people are able to just look at them on one post instead of having to go back each month! I can't believe how much he's grown - I think he keeps getting cuter and cuter :)

Here are his monthly pictures/stats:

1 month old, 7lbs 10oz - 21 inches long.

2 months old, 9lbs 15oz - 22 1/2 inches long.

3 months old, 11lbs 6oz - 24 inches long.

4 months old, 13lbs 3oz - 25 inches long.



And here is a picture of that tooth that's coming in! I swear each day it looks bigger. The doctor said that might be the only tooth he gets for awhile. Since it came in so early. I plan on starting to feed him rice cereal soon - that's going to be so much fun!




We are currently living with my dad and brother in my dad's house. My brother Eric is going to be moving out next weekend. That means that Logan is going to get his own bedroom! I'm looking forward to painting and decorating it :) I think Logan is going to sleep much better in his own room. I'm going to take lots of before/after pics - we are very cramped in our bedroom, but we make it work!

Already?

I can't believe September is ALREADY half way over with. I'm looking forward to the next 6 months. We've got Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, my birthday, Valentine's Day, and Spring Break coming up! And then 2 months after Spring Break will be Logan's 1st birthday - CRAZY!

Last Sunday (the 11th) I had just finished feeding him his nighttime bottle - and I was letting him suck on my finger. While my finger was in there I felt a little sharp tooth poking up! I wasn't able to see it but I could feel it. It's his bottom right one. I thought by now maybe his bottom left one would be coming up, but there's nothing there (yet)! I'm not able to take a picture of it because it's still so small and hard to see. I'm hoping within the next couple weeks I'll be able to get a good picture of it.

Work is going okay. I'm just having some problems with my schedule but I met with the principal and he was rearranging it and he said he would e-mail it to me this weekend. I'm still waiting to see it - I hope it comes soon!

Today we are going to visit my mom and her husband and then after that Kari's little girl (Malia) is turning ONE so we are going to her birthday party!

The weather has been kinda yucky the last few days - raining here and there. Today is not a very nice day. I'm looking forward to the Fall weather and I hope that it will snow A LOT this year!!!!

First week down!

I started working again on Tuesday the 6th. I was a little sad leaving the house but I never cried. I got to work and was okay for most of the day. I'm working with a teacher who was a little rude to me, I ate lunch alone, and sort of just felt like an outcast. As soon as I got into my car to leave for the day - I started crying. I kept thinking "I have to do this until June?" I really hate being away from Logan! I got home and continued to cry...I really didn't want to ever go back. I called my mom and asked her how me quitting would effect our insurance. She explained that we'd have to pay out of pocket if I quit - which wouldn't be good. We decided that even though it would be better for me to stay home, that I need to continue working. We will never be able to get our own house if we can't pay down our debt a little bit more. The rest of the week went better, and now working part time doesn't seem so bad (I've had no more tears).

Logan is going to be 4 months old on Monday! I cannot believe that he's almost half a year old. Time goes by so fast. I look at newborn pictures of him and it really makes me want to have another one! James and I have talked - and we don't plan on trying until he's at least around 2 (a little before or after). AND we want to make sure we are in our own place!

Logan is rolling over now - back to belly and belly to back! He also has discovered his feet and can't let go of them :)



I love that boy so much!!!!

Really?

I go back to work tomorrow. I'm really not looking forward to leaving Logan, but I am looking forward to getting some adult interaction. I'm going to be so happy to see him when I come home! I will scoop him up and give him lots of snuggles and kisses!

On Saturday the 3rd I went to visit my friend Sarah and her baby Owen with my friend Kari and her daughter Malia. While we were there I had Logan laying on the floor on his back - and he totally rolled over to his tummy! It took him awhile, it wasn't instant...but he did it! He's holding up his head so much better now and he doesn't get super mad when I put him on his tummy. Next thing you know he's going to be crawling! I'm just excited to start feeding him cereal and baby foods! I want to set up his high chair - but there's really no point since we don't feed him in there, plus it would take up too much space.

Logan still has a stuffy nose. We've been running the humidifier during naps and at night while he sleeps, he seems to be feeling okay - he's just been sleeping a little extra. Maybe some teeth are about to pop up? I can't wait for that - he's going to be so cute with some little teeth!

Big sigh

I had my interview this morning. I didn't get the job. I'm feeling really sad about it, mostly because I thought my interview went well and I had a good chance of getting it. I guess I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up. I've had probably 4ish interviews trying to get a different position in the last 4ish years...and all of them have been no. I was picked last to be at Ventura because nobody wanted me (it's how I feel). Why couldn't I have been put at Gilbert Park with all the other people they put there from my school? It just makes me feel unwanted - I really just want to quit my job and stay at home with Logan. I'm not sure if we could afford that though. Even if we could afford it - we'd never be able to pay down our debt - and then we'd never be able to get our own house.

UGH!!!!!

I hope things go better than I expect at Ventura. My principal hasn't even told me what time to come in on Tuesday OR what my schedule will be! I will probably be crying all day on Tuesday - sad from having to leave Logan and scared about being in a new place.

This is a terrible way to start the last weekend of the summer. I wish I would have never applied for the job.

Damn you Olive Garden!

That pasta bowl was *SO* good I'm still thinking about it a week later...it's good to treat yourself now and then, but I feel so guilty for going and eating as much as I did. I didn't lose any weight this week, but I also didn't gain. I stayed the exact same - so that's okay I guess. I was just really hoping to lose a little. I've been walking a lot and watching what I eat (besides from the OG). Next week will be better!

I have my interview tomorrow for the assistant position at Earl Boyles. I really hope I get the job, but I'm terrible at interviews so I'm trying not to get my hopes up! Logan and I went to have lunch with James today. After that we went to Gilbert Heights to visit. It was fun walking around seeing everyone. I really wish that I would have gotten placed at that school. Too bad we couldn't choose! I am just so thankful I have a job! I still don't know what my schedule is going to be like over at Ventura Park. I don't even know what time I start on Tuesday! I'm hoping I will get an e-mail from my principal later today. If not, I will probably e-mail him tomorrow and ask what time he wants me there (assuming I don't get the other job).

It's going to be very warm starting tomorrow and going into next week. Figures, once school starts! I don't like when it's hot while I'm working.

And now some Logan pictures!

My sweet little man!

Hanging out with mommy :)

Visiting daddy and people at GH makes me tired!
