Weigh in.

Got up this morning and here we go its Friday.  Now my weight is 240 lbs so from 6 week post partum that is 16 lbs. Yay!  So keep dancing fat girl and we will see next week.

Weight Loss...

So trucker for 6 years and 2 babies later I have gained a lot weight.  I will do official weigh in next Friday but when I left the doctors office at Williams 6 week old mark I weighed 256 lbs.  I started playing Dance Central on Xbox and I feel the burn.

High School I weighed 125 lbs I was a size 12 and ran everyday. This was taken in 2002 the year I graduated.

 And here I am just a few weeks ago.  So I need help, support and strength to lose this weight! I don't expect to be 125 lbs again but to get to 160 would be great.  Please help support me in this challenge.  My first goal has been met that is to get up and do something about it.  My second goal is only 1 soda a week! I have to cut the sugar out and start cooking right.  

I promise to post at least once a week and hopefully I can successfully lose weight.  

Nutella Brownies WHAT?!?!?

You Add 1 cup of Nutella

10 tablespoons of flour

2 eggs

mix all in a bowl

Put them in the oven at 350 for about 20 mins ( may need more time if you cook it non-cupcake form)

and I didn't even get a picture after they were done they were that good.  

My son kept stealing them off the counter so you know they were that good.  

21g of sugar so not too bad for a diabetic.  

5 Dennis'

So it's been a while as usual.  We have a date set for the c-section.  It will be Aug 3rd unless the baby decides to come earlier.  We still don't know the sex but Jeremy is one happy Daddy.

I will be writing on here more due to our other new addition to the family.  We adopted a cockatiel.  A little boy named Rio.  He is about a year old and it takes a lot of time and trust on my part and his to tame them.  My mother has 3 of them one of which was mine till my ex and I split and due to the nature of a tiel I didn't push the issue of getting her back.  When I found this one I fell in love with it immediately.  Jeremy loves it too and we think we have found the perfect pet for us.  Dogs are not it anymore.  Ever since we lost Toby it has been hard for me to find another dog.
     Slowly we have been cleaning our home.  So much stuff to go through and get rid of.  I've narrowed alot of my things down.  Jeremy has done the same.

Chicken Penne Gorgonzola

OMG I have been wanting this for the longest time but I don't like waiting till I go to Oklahoma to get it.  This is a little different than Johnny's Carinos but OMG just as good. I believe the put mushrooms in their's but I put broccoli in mine.  I'm waiting on big daddy to get off work to let him try it but we have more time.  I'm going to take it with me and let him eat it at the open field on the way from work so we can watch the stars tonight.  

I made my own cream sauce from milk, butter, garlic, and flour.  No heavy cream so less fatty.  Next time I'm going to try whole grain pasta.  

I've been feeling horrible. Headaches again! Kamden doesn't feel good bc of his ears but that will be solved soon.  I'm so scared for him to go into surgery, but I know it's for the best for him.  

Surgery is on May 8th at 730 am I just hope and pray everything goes ok. 

Tubes...

So we are putting tubes in Kamden's ears on May 8th.  We seen the ENT yesterday and he thinks that between 4 ear infections and fluid always on his ears that he really needs them.  I'm really sad that my baby will be put under and tubes put in, but I'm happy to know my baby won't be hurting anymore.  His ears are hurting him tonight I'm hoping he will be able to sleep after I put in the numbing drops I put in his ears.

Happy Birthday!

 Our little boy turned 1! I was trying not to expect anything out of him with his cake but he took the bait! Such a messy child! All it took was one bite and he was sunk.  We tried to keep the party short but that didn't work.  Poor kid was getting so sleepy so I had to hurry get a cupcake and slap a candle in it before he passed out.  Sure enough the sugar gave him a bit of energy to finish it at least then he was done!
He recieved some great gifts thank you again to everyone that sent something you should receiving your Thank You cards soon. Jeremy and I are trying to recoup a little it took a lot out of us and Kamden is still running strong.

 I will buy my cakes at Sam's Club from now on. 36.00 for this monster! We are still eating on cake 4 days later! It was a nice cake and was so soft.

 Cake Face!!!!!

Outside decorations!
Please excuse the pain mess we have hired a professional that PROMISED to finish painting then the house will look a lot better.

Well on a different note I am not ready for tomorrow.  We are not feeling well here and Kamden has to get 1 year old shots :(  So not ready for this.  I am preparing myself for the fight I am armed with meds and freshly washed wash rags so we can keep any temp down!

Bed Rest!

I was ordered to take it easier.  I'm having a lot of pain and I have been really sick.  I have no appetite at all! Pregnancy #2 is hell! Thankfully I have some help this week, getting some stuff done before little mans #1! I'm so excited for this party.  We have to order the cake next week and get some cupcakes.  Dollar store for decorations and sams for the hamburger patties and hot dogs!

Friends!

Well Kamden is almost 1... Wow how time goes by! He's got 3 teeth, he's almost as tall as my friends 3 year old. He is 22 lbs and still growing. I can't wait to have our second and child. Then our family will be complete. I never knew one child could make two people so happy. Sure he'll get older and he will do stupid stuff. He will always know that we love him no matter what.

We haven't been feeling too well around here. We have been trying to clean up the house and get the chickens ready to go. We have 30 eggs in the incubator and 10 baby chicks outside.

Just been running in a rut and I think it's time we get out of town for a day or two. Maybe soon. Maybe is cabin fever or whatever just seems so gloomy here. People are dying and I don't know if I can handle another phone call. But that little smile! That keeps me going. I really hate it here sometimes. I just wish I had a friend that was HERE that wasn't judgemental! I hate it when people act that way toward me. My decisions are my decisions and it doesn't matter if you like them or not. Just be a friend and hang out. Let me vent (not saying you can't tell me I'm a dummy sometimes) I'll let you vent, don't stab me in the back by running to everyone telling them lies about me. And most important just hang out.
We are not 16 years old. We are not in High School. Sure I really don't care who's doing what but if it matters to you, I'll listen.
I know I'm rambling, I'm tired, and I just hate it that the last 3 people that I thought was my friends ... we they were users, one wanted pills (that I don't have), one was stuck in High School ( at age 25) and one wanted to have sex with all of Jeremy's friends.
My best friend is over a thousand miles away. :( I never knew we could have been such great friends until high school was over. But she is the greatest friend I have. I am thankful for her and I love her very much. She will let me cry on her shoulder and then tell me she loves me but I'm an idiot and try it this way. She's never rude and doesn't gossip. I just wish we could be a little closer.

Baby Chickens

It was so beautiful yesterday. I got to take little man out to play in the yard. I had to run to the coop yesterday morning for feed and of course its that time again for the baby chicks to ready to go. So Jeremy and I are expanding our flock and we bought 10 rhode island red chicks. Kamden was so gentle with the babies I was really surprised. he kinda just pet the baby chick and looked at me to make sure that was ok.
The second picture is my favorite of all the ones I took yesterday.

17 Weeks....

Oh my 17 weeks now.  Baby is moving a lot! I'm so tired and HUNGRY all the time! I'm hoping that my sweetheart will take me to some sort of buffet this weekend! I hate being this hungry.

Kamden is just about 1 year old!  We are going to have a small party here the day before.  Hamburger's and hotdogs! I can't wait we already have quite a few people showing up.  I cannot believe he will be a year.  He's trying to walk he will stand up and just stand there.  Its like he's thinking about walking but just not for sure.

Jeremy and I are doing so well now.  He bought me flowers last week when I just felt really bad.  It just seems like we are ment for each other.  I don't know what changed but it did and it feels wonderful to be able to ask for a little help putting dishes away and he gets up and helps me.  He loves my cooking and tells me I'm beautiful everyday.

Adventures in Motherhood...

Well the news is official! Jeremy and I are expecting baby #2! We are both very excited.  The last few months have been very crazy. I get to go Monday for the ultrasound and see the doctor on Tuesday.  So we are going to posting a lot of news as we know.

I have been making bows.  I have a few people that order from me quite a bit.  I really enjoy making bows. It gives me something to do when Kamden is asleep.

Kamden is going to be a year old next month.  I am so excited planing his birthday party.  We are going to get him a sock monkey cake.  We are not going to do anything big.  Family and a few friends will be here.  We will be having it on the 24th of March around noon.
