Well first off let me say…why didn’t I think about totally playing dumb about getting the email homework? Really? There were only about 6 or so of us who prepared something official for the class while everyone else lied through their weasley little teeth about not getting the email…LIARS!
I am not really happy with my self-portrait I created, but you know I had nothing at 2 pm yesterday and I had to have it done and be ready to leave my house by 4:45. It is what it is and I think it give a quick snapshot into my life. I certainly could have added in more pictures of Minnow. I mean I now have over 5000 of them. Yes you saw that right. I also just got two new lenses for my camera so you know there will be more.
I have deduced from my sharp detective skills that there are two families ahead of us waiting for a baby girl (there could be one more, but I don’t think so…Becky correct me if I am wrong). That is so very exciting. I keep thinking, if only I had gotten that paperwork done a little faster. But it is only in jest, as I know that the child that was meant to be ours will be. Minnow is a great testament to the power of fate.
A commenter (Hiya Jess) asked a very good question about how I am going to lose this weight. Well, I am doing it the old fashioned way. I am watching what I eat and exercising. I have tried lots of different diets, etc and have been successful in the short term. I finally decided that I needed something long term and I needed something that worked for me. As, I posted a while ago, I signed up at myfooddiary.com. It rocks. I put in my goal weight (140 lbs) and what I weigh now (a whole hell of a lot more than 140) and it calculates for you how many calories you can eat to lose 2lbs and 1.5lbs a week (this is customizable). It calculates fat/carb/protein/fiber/sodium/calcium/vitA&C/and iron. It is great. I have PCOS and I really should (but don’t) watch my carb intake. This really helps me see what I am eating, exactly. I think weight watchers is a great program and I used it previously at one point, but I am not a program girl and I finally have to admit that programs like that don’t work for me.
Oh and Minnow was up last night with a stomach bug. I was puked on not once, not twice, not even three times–yes ladies and gentlemen I was graciously puked on 4 times in the span of two hours by my little baby who only wanted “mamammamaaa ” (yeah he really says it like this) to hold him. He woke up feeling great today and didn’t stop eating all day. He is a resilient little guy.
Happy Wednesday!
Stumble it!

OK - does that mean 2 families ahead of you and the referrals that were supposed to come this week already came? Or are they still coming, meaning it could still be this week? Oh, I can’t wait - a little GIRL!
OK - and being thrown up on 4 times - you are quite the ‘mamammamaaa’ - I hope I can handle it when these things happen someday. I’ve been spit-up on 4,000,000 times since Micah came home - does that count?
Thanks for answering my question! I will keep myfooddiary.com in mind for when I decide to stop Weight Watchers but still want to pay attention to what I eat.
Yes…you are correct…two families ahead of you. I wish they would hurry up and call me! I’ll let you know as soon as I hear anything. As for poor Minnow (and you)….it all sounds so familiar. I can’t decide if it would be better to have 3 kids puking on me at once or have them each get it one at a time so that it goes on forever! I’m so glad he is better today. I hope you don’t get it too:)
