A Follow Up Poll To My Previous Poll

The reason I asked how often you washed your sheets in the last post was because I came across this link: Link

I can't help but to wonder about how many little critters are actually on our pillows.

Now, the question is:

Are you going to go wash your eyelashes now?

Be honest:

How often do you wash your bedsheets?

First Class

We received Maddy's new carseat. It's the Britax Marathon in Olivia. It is wonderful! Very big, and comfortable. She is generally asleep within 5 minutes after we put her in.

It has one of the highest crash safety ratings, exceeding all US tests (US will pass a carseat if it passes a crash at 35mph. The Britax Marathon passed with a crash test at 65mph). It can be used rear facing up to 35lbs and forward facing up to 65lbs.

So far, we love it!

Weigh In

I had my 2nd weigh in today. Another 3lbs lost. Yay me! That brings me down a total of 8lbs in 2 weeks! Woot woot!

Losing

I had my very first Weight Watchers weigh-in. In my first week, I have lost 5.2 lbs!!! I am very happy, and very pleased. I am eating well, and feeling good. Yes, getting up at 4:30am to go to the gym is hard. Especially when I am getting up every 2-3 hours at night with a fussy baby. But is it sooooooo worth it.

My 2007 Goals

My sister-in-law posted her 2007 goals on her blog, so I thought I would do the same.

I do not have any 2007 resolutions. I have goals. Here they are, in no particular order:

1. I will not sweat the small things. So what if I go to bed without folding the towels and putting them away. I will not die, neither will my kids. It is ok if the bed doesn't get made right away, or if the dishes sit for a few minutes after dinner. It will get done.

2. I will take time out for me. In the past, I have said "I will do _________ for myself." But if I don't make time for it, it will never happen. It's like eating, if you don't take time out for it you won't eat. So, I have been getting up at 430am and going to the gym everyday this week. I will continue to do it daily. Yes, it's hard. It's even harder when my 7 month old wakes up at 2am to eat, but I will do it. I feel so good. I ran a total 18 miles this week, and it feels great!

3. We have cut out all junk, processed food, and red meat from our diet. I kind of had to because of my stomach issues, but it wasn't as hard as I thought. I have been cooking at home with lots of fresh vegetables, grilled chicken and turkey. I make enough so that we can take the extras with us for lunch the next day. By doing so, we have cut the number of times we eat out and we have saved money because of it.

4. I will spend more time with each child individually, and with my husband.

I will do it.

It's Been A While

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, life has been very busy.

My cervical LEEP went well. I received my clear margins and now have to have a PAP every 3 months. Oh what fun!

After Maddy's hospitalization for RSV, we went down to Alabama for a few days for Christmas, and then again for New Years. We had fun spending time with everyone and catching up.

I had my Endoscopy this morning. It went well. The doctor took a sample of the ulcer to do a biopsy, and removed 7 polyp cysts that were in my stomach (I had no idea I had that). He told me to keep a bland diet for a few days because the removal of the polyps has irritated the lining of my stomah. He also told me to abstain from all red meat, PERIOD. I will follow up with the doctor in a week to discuss a form of treatment and the biopsy results. Besides being tired, having a sore throat, and a bruise on my arm from the IV, I am doing well.

All in all, this Christmas Break was not much a break. A lot happened and I am just so tired and need to get back into a routine before work begins tomorrow. Work...sigh!
