BrocChick Journey: Mile marker 35

First, yes, I’m still on the wagon. Haven’t fallen off yet, though I’ve dragged my toe over the edge here and there… it’s been about 3 1/2 months since I started.

This last month has really looked more like a barely sloping plateau, but even after eating way too many yummy things this past weekend, I still dropped to a new little milestone of 35 pounds gone! Woo Hoo! (And let me tell you, I did not feel well eating all those “unapproved” items like carbs and a sweet niblet here and there…my body was not happy with me. But MAN were they yummy!)

And can I just say how silly it is, how addicted I must be to digiscrapping habits, that I can’t just type in “35 pounds,” I have to go and create a new cute little graphic… funny.

I’m back in the jeans I wore right after Braska when I stepped out of about 40 pounds in just a few weeks. This is a big thing for me. I missed these jeans, 3 pair of Levis that I love. (If you weren’t around then…it was not healthy, and I gained no weight with Braska, so it was all “new” loss, not baby weight. But I don’t recommend the stress diet.)

Bunches more to go, but I’m moving forward.  Hoping to get more regular with the make-me-sweat exercise… I’m going to try hard.  I know it will make such a huge difference.  Gotta make it a priority.

One more time… YAY!!!

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
