BrocChick Journey: Milestone


Photobucket


 
And a whole bunch to go... but celebrate the small victories, right?!?

Today marks the end of 9 weeks. The goal this week is to get more exercise in the schedule...if it's a 530am trek downstairs to the treadmill, then so be it. Maybe nap time, maybe at night. But I've got to step up the exercise. With 2 poorly sleeping girls, a sleep study, no school due to sickness, and a generally poor mood on my part for a variety of reasons...it's going to be a tough week.

    Congratulations!!! That is a great accomplishment! I just started back on my WW journey (I fell down the stairs in November after losing 25lbs, then I got the flu, the holidays yada yada, and I fell off the wagon.) But I am 1.5 weeks back on the wagon and doing pretty great! Been walking with my iPod as much as possible, too.

    Anyway. It's not always easy, but it's SO worth it.

    Also? For reference? Georgia weighs about 31lbs. You lost almost a whole Georgia! Imagine that!

    BrocChickerrific!

    Oh, to have an ounce of your willpower and self-discipline.

    Alas, I fear I will be living vicariously through your BrocChick journey...

    Way to GO!

31 for 21: What to say

I have encountered plenty of people who ask "How old is she?" when Braska and I are out together here and there. They always guess her age about 5 months younger than she is, but that's ok, since that's what size she is. I have said several times that I can imagine it will bother me a bit more, although still not a huge deal, when she turns one next month and I see their reaction to that, as she still is in her car seat/carrier when we're in a restaurant or in a store since she doesn't sit up. Today, I met some friends for brunch. The waitress was a nice enough, very young girl, and she started cooing at Braska right away. That's nice. I don't mind, Braska likes the attention, and I'm proud of my cutie. The waitress asked her age, and I told her 11 months. She then said, "But she's not walking yet?" as she noticed that she was up to the table in her car seat/carrier. I just agreed and said, "Not yet." She said she h

Little call, big letters

This will make more sense to you DS moms and families out there... I apologize for the cryptic nature, but you'll have to trust my reasoning. Braska had a lab draw on Tuesday last week. The GI called me Wednesday and said there were some significantly elevated levels in the results. Ok fine. Not like we've never had an abnormal lab. But then he used *those* words...the C word and the L word. Said he'd be talking to hem/onc. We needed to go redraw on Friday morning. We didn't freak or anything, but when I hung up the phone, I thought, "Wow, so that's what it's like the first time they mention it." We took her for her draw again on Friday morning, and we figured everything was fine since we got no call over the weekend. Yesterday I checked in with them. Dr. R confirmed that everything was clear, almost in a "weird way," but they checked with the lab to make sure it was a viable result. All is well. Follow up in 6 months as usual unle

Can I get a do-over?

If you are in need of a laugh at another's expense, I invite you to read on... really, it's totally ok. I can take it. This might end up long, but I wanna remember this special day. Oh so special... Today is my first day to have both girls and be on my own. Yeah, it's been two weeks, but I'm apparently slow at learning how to deal with this kind of thing. I knew it would be a challenge, but I thought with starting way early, we could make it. The quick ending is that we did make it...but that's not really the whole story. Kinlee's been sleeping til about 9 am or so after getting up twice in the night. That's ok, I'm dealing with it. But since Braska is supposed to be at school at 10 am on Mondays, I thought I better not sleep in like I prefer, and instead, I should get up and get things moving earlier to be sure we're on time. Not a problem, since Braska decided to be up twice last night in addition to Kinlee's two times. One time overlapped...so
