Oh hellllo

Let me first state the biggest reason why I don't blog everyday is because John brings the laptop to work almost everyday and the ipad is NOT made for typing let alone blogging. But I don't want to buy another laptop that won't get used when I go back to work. So conundrum.





Secondly who wants to talk about my daughter??? Look at her- she is playing on her play mat- she does that- LOVES it like a big girl. She's the most beautiful amazing thing I've ever seen in my life. In some moments I think it's so easy and I've got it all under control and perfectly in balance. AND THEN I get 20 min or an hour or a day where I'm like this shit is HARD HARD work. And then it goes back to best job I ever had. It's amazing. And draining. And just everything- everything you ever did, learned, thought and dreamed channeled into this beautiful little 9lb 8.5oz bug. Yes she has gained 2 pounds in just under 2 weeks. She like the eating my friends. Mags also likes the baths and the sleeping 5 hour chunks at night. Knock on wood.

Also Mags and I love to go on trips. Grocery store, target, starbucks, out to lunch. We are pros now- I mean I still get semi-freaked she's going to end up screaming on one of our trips but I just keep faking it until I make it on my face and it's worked so far. We also love to go visit Grandma and Grand-Pappy (the current grandpa name Jack is trying out- I think he thinks it's a funny Alabama name)- my parents are 100000% obsessed with Maggie. Like can't get enough of her or enough of talking about her, or enough of anything that relates to her. I like it- it makes me happy. And it makes me really happy that I have this nugget of happiness to offer my Mom in a time where it's greatly needed.

Sooooo what else? I lost my preg weight- I had gained 17pds and now I'm a few down from the weight I got pregnant at. And while this is great in itself there is still a mountain to overcome- it's time for pointplus + nursing points. Do I go to meetings? I think so- right? Go to the meeting like it's my first time. YES? I think yes? How can I fit this into my schedy...I'll make it work. Right now I'm a bottomless pit of eating- and while I understand why- I need to fill the pit with something that isn't cookies, chips and ice cream!

So what's next..fall shopping. BOOOOOOOOOOTS and leggings and tanks with sweaters layered over them??? I don't even know what's cool right now. I have to get us a trip to the mall scheduled ASAP- I went to the Gap for like 10 min the other day and only looked at the sale rack. I need more in my life than that. Also the money I've saved in the past month not going anywhere has got my checking account at levels never before seen- in the positive direction. This needs to be corrected. Get things back to the status quo :)

I also need to say THANK YOU TO EVERYONE who has brought food over to our house, we can't keep up with it at this point. Like the freezer is still full! Thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you- you have made this transition easier than I ever imagined. What would I do without you!!!!!

Okay okay I need to go get my chores done while that bebe is sleeping. Plus I'm watching Bridesmaids for the 2nd time today. H.I.L.A.R.I.O.U.S
