10 months

10 months ago today I was in labor. I was getting ready to have the most beautiful little girl come into my life. Many things have changed in those 10months. My little girl has come into her own personality.

* She has such a big sense of humor. She can be watching something on tv and find something funny that her daddy and I find funny.
* She is such a smart little girl as well. She's been crawling for a month already and I can hardly remember her rolling around to get places.
* She has grown so much since last month. She tries her hardest to pull herself into a standing position, but she hasn't quite grasped the concept of moving her knees forward yet.
* Still not a lot of hair, but people are starting to notice that you're a little girl.
* She's starting to eat real food, not just baby food. However, she loves her fruit and cereal mix in the morning. She's not 100% sure about cheerios, but she'll eat them if they're in front of her.
* She plays in her room all by herself now. She'll crawl down the hallway and go straight to her toys. When she's done she doesn't fuss because she's alone. No, she'll crawl right back down the hallway because sher know's momma is in the living room.
* She takes one nap a day which can be anywhere between 1pm and 3pm. Today it's 2pm-ish.
* She doesn't like going to bed at night without me. She cries herself to sleep when I'm at school, but when I don't have class then she goes right to bed without a problem. I definitely know she misses me when I'm gone.


Anywho, those are just a couple of things she does. She's a little ham when she sees the camera or my phone. She loves getting her photo taken (as long as she knows the person taking the picture).

On to me, I'm great. I feel absolutely amazing. I forget how much easier life is when you don't weigh almost 200lbs. I don't know how much weight I've lost, but I know I've lost more. I'll be weighing myself today and I'll update my weight loss ticker. School is fantabulous. I feel like I've been doing very well. For my A&P class I got a 78% on my first test in lecture and I've gotten two 100% on my quizes in lab. I'm not off to a bad start in A&P. I am super proud of myself.

It's been a minute

I've been busy the past couple days. Papi and I had some drama on Thursday that I'm not going to get into. We went to the gym Friday, Saturday, and yesterday. I weighed myself on Friday and was shockwed to learn that I lost 10 POUNDS. Yesterday we worked out for two hours and then went swimming with Miss Bug. We got the DAC at 1:20pm and didn't leave until almost 5pm. I have to say that's one day well spent, even if we both are sore. Tenderness just means we did some work and I'm going to get to my goal weight.

Anywho, Miss Bug LOVES showing off her to teeth. She smiles and even runs the pad of her thumb across them.


Well, I have homework to finish so I'll write y'all later.

I already miss it

I miss being at home during the evenings. I miss putting Miss Bug to bed, or at least kissing her good night. I miss spending time with Papi. Yesterday it snowed pretty much all day. So people where driving stupidly. I usually leave to go to school at about 5:30 so I can park and get to class. The parking lot at Baker is a madhouse. I've decided that instead of circling it hoping for a spot to open that I'll just take the extra time and park farther away and walk (probably 1/4 of a mile). It's healthier for me as well.

Last night I had Human Anatomy and Physiology lecture AND lab. So two classes in one night. One right after the other. People were driving so slow while Papi was trying to get home. He walked in the door, I gave him a kiss, grabbed my stuff and left. It's took me probably ten minutes to drive to the campus(maybe more), ten minutes to pull into the parking lot, then another five to seven to find a parking spot. I then had to walk to class, find where I was suppose to be. Needless to say, I was late. Class started at six and I walked in twenty after.

Anyways, last night I also had to do some grocery shopping. So I got out of class at 9:40-ish, had to walk back to my car, scrap ice off it, then drive to the store. I didn't pull into the drive until eleven o'clock. Papi was already tired, I was irritated. So last night just wasn't a good night until we laid in bed. All he had to do was hold me close and everything just drifted away.

I miss spending more than a tired hour with him.

Being back at school also puts a cut into our gym time. We have one vehicle so he uses it for work and I use it for school. We're really gonna have to buckle down on the weekends and go. It's the only time, for now, that we can go. Friday through Sunday. Hopefully soon we'll have another vehicle. It also puts a cut into how we've been eatting. Right now I don't bother with cooking dinner because we can't eat it together, but I am going to make something tonight seeing as it's our 6mo anniversary. Even though we won't be spending it together. It's sad for me to think about being in Algebra when I should be spending my anniversary with Papi.

I may not like it and may miss everything about my life before school, but it's something I have to do. I can't get out of it. I have no job and no place will hire me so school is the only option I have to bring in more money for my family.

Nothing really to say today...

...So I'll leave you with a picture.

We were about to head to a baby shower. She was just so happy on Saturday and a huge cuddle bug.

YAY!!!

I've been doing so well with my new year's goals. I've really enjoyed bloggin almost everyday. I feel great, though exhausted, after exercising. I already feel like I've lost weight but I made a promise to myself to only weigh myself every two weeks. I figure that way I won't go crazy if I haven't lost anything everyday. I should lose something every two weeks, even if it's only a couple pounds. I put my jeans on yesterday and I couldn't believe that they were kind loose when usually NONE of my pants are loose.

Now today I made me some mac'n'cheese for lunch. It's been awhile since I had it and I actually forgot how much I love it.

I really hope I get the Meter Reading job. I looked online today to see what the bank account looked like and we don't have enough to cover rent. Things are tight right now. I know we'll make it, but we really could use that second income. I mean we have almost $500 going toward our redezvous, almost $700 going towards rent plus we still have to pay consumers this month. It would just make things easier if I had a job, but all the places I've applied for haven't called. I know it'll be a lot on my plate because I start school next week, but I don't know what else to do.

I know Papi will tell me not to worry, that we'll figure it out, and I know we will. Doesn't change the fact that I feel like I don't contribute financially to the house. Yes, I do contribute by cleaning, cooking and taking care of Miss Bug.

Anywho, I've got Zumba tonight and man am I excited. It's tons of fun. Also, Papi and I have decided thast tonight we're going to go swimming without Miss Bug. We always feel so rushed when we're done. How we've been doing it is I get out about a half hour before Papi and Bug so I can relax in the hot tub, shower, and get dressed. Then I get Bug and get her ready to go home while Papi gets in the hot tub, showers and gets dressed. It's a very rushed procedure.
