(Day 26) Where does the time go?

Day 26
Weight: Nope!
Lbs +/-: -0.4lbs

I can not believe it has been 3 weeks since I have attempted to update my blog. Man, life sure moves fast. So many things have been going on in my life that the computer has been a distant friend. But things are finally starting to look up!

Shon and I finally have new (to us) vehicles!  I believe the devil was testing our faith. It's funny how both cars go out on the way to church....2 weeks in a row! Nothing like being down 2 cars with 2 people needing to get to work and school. Shon got a truck that he wanted and I finally got the minivan I have been needing! Now I just need to sign Stink up for soccer! ;)

A couple weeks ago, I took Itty Bitty for her 9 months check up. She is an enormous 15lbs 4oz.

Olivia at the Zoo in March

Such a difference from her 2lbs 9oz when she was born.

Olivia just a few days old

It seems that Olivia has been having issues with her blood platelets being low. We knew this was going on in the NICU but at that time was told it was an effect of being born so early and would correct itself. Apparently that wasn't the case. In February she contracted RSV and was put in the hospital for a few days. When they did blood work, it showed her platelets were low then but nothing was ever said or done about it. Her pediatrician just happened to look over her labs while at her check up and discovered this. So she has been having weekly labs to check her counts (which are slowly climbing but still very low). I just want to know why.

On a good note, Hayden graduated preschool! They had a wonderful little program where the kids sang and danced and made all the moms cry. Ok so at least one mom cried. *points fingers at herself* Twice! 

The little caps are so stinkin cute!

Hayden's Preschool Graduation 2012

Harvard here we come! HA!

So between vehicles, blood work, graduations (PS Congrats Cody and Brittany! WHS 2012), the garden/flowers and life itself, I have been one busy Momma! Hopefully things can slow down a bit cause this girl wants to do some more fishin! Wish me luck!

(Day 4) Yeah I'm a Slacker!

Day 4Weight: Might disclose one day!
Lbs +/-: -0.4lbs (as of day 3)

OK so it didn't take long for the "blog every day" thing to end. Still going strong with my shakes though, following my nutrition plan to a T...well pretty close to a T. Maybe a lowercase t. ;) In all seriousness, this is by far the easiest "diet" I have ever been on. And when I couple the Herbalife plan with Weight Watchers for my dinner meal, I should be to my goal weight in no time.

Sorry for not updating yesterday. Was a little busy with both kiddos home all day and trying to figure out what to do about a vehicle. Plus I had a headache out of this world. Not sure if it was stress, lack of caffeine or the horrible toxins leaving my body with my new found nutrition but what ever it was, I am SOOOOOO glad its gone today. And with the vehicle problem being solved for the time being (thanks Mom and Dad), my stress level is back to norm.

Speaking of Dad, tomorrow is my dad's 75th birthday! We're taking him out to dinner to the restaurant of his choice. (God please no White Castle, teehee!) Pray that I make good choices with my meal selection for the evening. I'm sure I will do just fine but if I know my dad, we will be heading to some big ol steakhouse. But as far as I know they all serve grilled chicken so I should be alright.

Well the rain has finally stopped and the sun is shining so with this new found energy that I have today, I am taking the baby outside to soak up some Vitamin D and do a little work in the swamp...I mean yard.

Wish me luck!
