How to weigh 118 pounds on a diet of H.a.ag.en D.azs Part 1

Sometime in early Spring, I was pulling on a pair of size 4 jeans, and they were huge. I thought to myself that my diet of ice cream in addition to nursing my 9 month old must really be paying off. My husband was convinced that my body just somehow "knew" to go back to my weight in my 20's. Oh, if only it were that easy. I gotta say, I was rationalizing this sudden weight loss with every excuse in the book...I'm nursing...not sleeping...don't have time to sit down and have a meal...But when the weight kept falling off with absolutely no effort on my part, it was starting to be a little concerning. To top it all off, I had family, friends and complete strangers saying things to me like...you are way to skinny. Why are you so anxious? You're shaking. Why does your hair look oily? Skin breaking out? What's with the sweating? I wrote it all of to anxiety and finally agreed to go see a doctor. Maybe a little Z.ol.oft would help. I mean, come on, I've been a stay at home Mom now for four and a half years. It's got to be stress. Right?

Hello?

So it has been way too long since I have updated my blog. I blame it on Facebook! A lot has happened in the past year. My son is now 4 and finished up his first year of full time school. It was an amazing year for him, and I look forward to all the school adventures to come! Oh yeah...and I had a baby! Elsa Mae joined our family on July 5, 2009 and she is just a love. She's a lot more fiesty than her big brother, and she gets into way more things than Elliott ever did. I promise to put together a post with some pictures of her first year, but for now...here's the pictures from her party. Leave a comment and let me know if I still have any readers!

Happy Birthday!

Elliott's birthday was a success!  He had so much fun with all of his family and friends.  He had insisted on a monster theme, so this is my first attempt at actually decorating a cake.  He loved it so that is all that mattered!  We got exciting news that he got into our dream school for him next year, so we are really excited.  I think it is going to be an amazing opportunity for him.  It's full-time which is going to be a little hard for me to adjust to, but he loves school so much I think it will be perfect for him.  Plus it will give me lots of one-on-one time with the new baby who should be arriving in about 12 weeks!  Yikes!  Lots to do!

Six words I would love to go 24 hours without hearing...

But I really, REALLY want it!

Happy St. Pat's Day!

I hope everyone had a chance to get outside yesterday and enjoy the beautiful weather.  We had a great time at the parade!  Elliott thought it was the coolest thing ever to have candy hurled at his head.  He had never seen so many lollipops in one place.  I am hanging in there with this pregnancy.  Still tired all the time.  I can't believe I only have 14 weeks left.  Last night I got sucked into a show on Discovery Health about women who didn't know they were pregnant until the went to the hospital and found out they were in labor.  I mean really...how is this possible?
