Ah food

How unfair is this, Mom and Dad are banished to rabbit food and EJ gets to eat whenever he wants (Dr's orders). We have gotten our height growth back on schedule we are a whopping 28 inches long, but Alas only 16 lbs what he was suppose to be 2 months ago.

Good news is the dr isn't really worried my family has some crazy metabolism, that I did NOT inherit, and Craig was a skinny kid so it appears that this is EJ genes, not to mention he moves all day kicking, jumping and now crawling. Yep we have a crawler on our hands he hasn't quick figured out that he can do it for more than 4 or 5 crawls at a time and I'm not complaining.  I give it a week and hes all over the play, pack-n-play is out for when I need to do things like go to the bathroom.

Merry Christmas!

Dear Baby Weight... we are breaking up!

Its the first work day of 2010 and that means the weight loss resolution kicks in. Craig and I have spent the last 2 days eating nothing but crap in anticipation of this day. No, seriously crap...donuts, china man, pizza, FRIED PICKLES, taco bell, to just name a few... I probably added an extra 5 lbs these last 2 days but what can I say we love to eat. But alas this love affair is over.

My adorable little man started off not hurting my figure too much but then the dr told me to try a gain a few lbs and lets just say that was trouble. I added 20 lbs in 2 months, yes you read that right 20! My previous self of being nervous about gaining too much weight... my grandmother told me not too every time I talked to her... went out the door and landed in Antartica. Then dr recommended a hormonal plug to keep us a family of 3 for awhile and guess what my side affect was... blubber.

So today begins a very new world for me and Craig, we will get up at 7am every day, we will run, we diet... enter veggies and lean meat, exit sugar and bread (BOO), we will take vitamins and we WILL get skinny. I will be a HOT mom, I will look good in a bathing suit when we finally take our honeymoon, and I will be the envy of some other mom out there. Yes, I am narcissistic enough to admit I want someone to envy my cute figure post baby.

If you don't read Heir to Blair, STOP reading me for a moment but please come back after and check her out. She makes me laugh everyday and I swear if we lived in the same city we would be best friends. But in her quest to lose the baby weight she has started McFatty Monday for all us moms out there attempting to the same, so get ready for me to overshare on my quest on Mondays as I use this blog as a way to keep myself on track and out of Dunkin Donuts. BABY WEIGHT WE ARE DONE UNTIL NEXT TIME!

See this body, I WANT IT BACK!

Today I will buy a scale and I will start the 30 day shred that I have done once in the 3 months I have owned it.

LAH

PS, Craig and I failed already when we got out of bed at 830 today. Tomorrow we will get up at 7am!

Oh we have a lot to report...

I promise to give everyone a nice play by play of the last month or so, but today I am living off little sleep thanks to being rather ill last night and I really want to go snuggle with my cute husband on the couch.  Some highlights include EJ pretty much skipped his 6 month clothes they went from being loose to almost tight and little short. I think we grew 2 inches over night. He said Mama and Dada, does get what he was doing well the jury is still out BUT he said Mama first and it melted my heart. Crawling is imminent he gets up on his hands and feet everyday and rocks and today he lunged his whole body forward needless to say hes sporting more than one bruise on his head from all the crawling attempts. Mom is so excited but a bit scared of a very mobile EJ.

More to come.... Happy 2010!

And daddy got the pic...

thanks to daddy and his iphone here is the tuckered out prince after he yelled at Mom for a few hrs.

Can't wait until I like running again....

Dear running shoes-

Our days together are numbered as you hurt my feet now.  As if these boats called feet weren't big enough to begin with they had to grow half a size while we were baking EJ.
Our first date ended with a heavy chest, sore legs and arms (thanks to pushing EJ) and blisters on my toes. My only motivation to keep running was the spare tire that you were supporting. 

Our time together was great but I'm trading you in for a bigger model.

LAH
 

Isn't pregnancy fun?

Seriously... growing

We must be having a growth spurt or two or three. To sum up the last few days have revolved around eating, the I will suck every drop out of this bottle even if it means I getting mostly air type of eating, sleeping and then screaming frustrations out at mom, toys and my new favorite the dogs.

Yesterday's marathon of unconsolable screaming of 3 hrs ended with the most hyterical "picture" ever. Sadly mom was way too worn and stressed out to dig the camera out to actually take the picture. Imagine a red faced EJ sound asleep, holding the pacifer to his mouth with his teething ring/rattle placed IN THE MIDDLE of his face.  Of course he promptly straightened up to his flirty self to show off to his grandparents at dinner out. I can't decide if I am happy he behaved in public or mad that he saves his out bursts to moments at home when mom needs to clean.
