Christmas is coming....slowly...we don't even have our tree up yet...I did put up 2 Christmas candles...that's about as far as I have gotten...and I did send out a handful of cards...but then I ran out of stamps (I will be stopping to get more tomorrow!) I did start some wrapping today! Ella was a big helper...she layed on the floor next to me and kept me company...and of course I had to take many breaks to play with her! My favorite part...I had just flipped her over so she was on her tummy and she was stretching to get the toy in front of her...when all of a sudden the dogs come FLYING into the room (we were on my bedroom floor)...and they start "playing" which consists of chasing each other...it really is funny to watch them...well Ella is all about this...she is turning her head as fast as those dogs are running...and she starts laughing hysterically watching them...she turned to me all smiles and then the dogs ran by again and her laughter started all over again...and then of course I started laughing...I don't know which was funnier...the dogs or Ella!
Christmas (which is almost here) - marks another goal I was hoping to make...I'm not there yet...but it's close...so with Ella I gained over 60 pounds!! Unbelievable! I really don't know how I gained so much...I still ate salad almost everyday! My diet didn't change too much! Now the first trimester I did definitely have some carbs...it was the only thing that made me feel better...but pretty much the second and third trimester I ate like I normally do...salad, veggies, I did increase my meat intake...and the Doctor kept telling me that I was gaining weight too quickly - that my baby was going to be really big if I stayed on the track I was on (yeah thanks Doc...you were right on the money with my 6lb baby!) So how I gained all the weight...I don't know...but I am happy to say that I have lost 45 pounds!! I have 17 more to go and I will be right back to my pre-pregnancy weight...I was hoping to have lost it all by Christmas...wishful thinking! But it's not too far off...maybe by her 9 month appointment!
On the menu tonight...sweet potatoes and bananas....mixed in with a little of her green veggies! We'll see how it goes...I tried earlier today to feed her some...she wasn't having any of it! Kept turning her head and pitching a little fit! The sweet potatoes and bananas I made! I followed one of the recipes in the Baby Breeza book. Well she's awake now...she was taking a little late afternoon snooze...time for dinner!
