My weight loss journey

I haven't gotten to post about the chubba chubba gone gone train ride so I thought I would give an update! Since my beautiful family photos were done I have lost another 9 pounds! That brings me down to only 23 pounds to go before having lost all 54 pounds of baby weight gained. So exciting! I have a weight loss goal that I broke into 3 parts. The 1st part is all the baby weight from Asher lost. The second is all the weight I held onto since I got pregnant with Hannah lost (10 pounds). And third, the weight I gained after I was married (20 pounds). I want to do this by next December so that we can get pregnant again. LOL We always wanted 4 kiddos and I am not getting any younger people. Let me remind all those who may think I'm nuts that I am 31 and a half now. I would like a life after my children grow up and not a nursing home so it's chop chop time. LOL

Speaking of kiddos, Asher was blessed today and it was beautiful. I'll post some pics of him after I download some onto this lovely new computer. Chow.

Family Photos 2009 - Manito Park

They are here!!! Just beautiful!!! Enjoy some of our many photos!!!

We bought a new computer!

Enough said.

Well, I'll add I hope it gets here soon! LOL

Family Photos

Yeah! We had our pictures professionally shot at a gorgeous park here in Spokane called Manito Park. It has several different areas and gardens. We went to an area with greenery arches and fountains with tons of different colored flowers and a gazebo. Then we went to the Rose garden with Greecian columns and roses of every color and then over to the Japanese garden and we took some in front of the waterfall and on the stone steps. I can not WAIT to post some on here and show everyone. :)

No - we still don't have our computer back. Hopefully very soon. I miss updating my blog journal.

By the way - Asher is 10 weeks old now and he had his 2 month appointment last week. He weighes 11lbs 14oz (50th percentile) and he is 25 inches long (95th pencentile). Craziness I tell you. That kid has grown!!!

We are blessing him in church labor day weekend. It should be lovely.

Comings and Goings

So, I think we are buying a new computer. I need to get going on selling my ebay as the season has started and I sure would like to update my blog like I used to. :) Hannah sees the surgeon on Friday. Her tube will be replaced in his clinic office and Josh is coming thank goodness. She didn't get it done last time as we had the wrong tube delivered. Asher has his 2 month appointment in a week and guess what?

We are getting our photos done by a photographer!! I sure hope they come out great. You all get to see them as soon as they are ready!!! I am so excited.

Asher has a baby blessiong coming up as well on Labor Day weekend Sunday and everyone is invited of course. If you need directions let me know. It starts at 1pm.

We got grass put in the front yard so half is done and it looks so much better! I can't wait to post pics on that as well.

No pictures until I can download on my own computer - sorry. Soon though, soon. Sigh

Computer is down still

I think we should have it up in about 2 weeks or so. I sure miss my blog friends but know I appreciate your support with Hannah and my family. I hope to catch up soon as asher will be 8 weeks old on Saturday! And all the goings on. I can't wait to finish a project I want to do and post that as well. Wait till you all see it!!!
Anyhow, Hannah is doing ok. She has to take in 16oz of pediasure daily and we'll see how she is in 2 weeks. Tweeking her regiment as needed is a great thing. I just want her at a good weight before school starts as she gets sick often enough and always loses more weight when that happens. I hate RSV and flu season!!!! Take care all and I'll post when I can until my computer is fixed.

Hannah

Hannah was seen by her nurse today. She has been struggling to gain weight. She grew 1/3" and gained 5oz. So her Body Mass Index has plummeted even further. She is malnourished and we have to put her back on tube feedings now. She has to have her tube replaced because the closure broke on it. We go in on Friday to the surgeon's office. He will replace it for us. It is supposed to be quick but they have to restrain the kids. This sucks big time let me tell you! But it will be very good to get her metabolism functioning correctly again and hopefully we can try again soon to get Hannah to stay out of a cronically starved plateau. Pray for Hannah as she struggles with this terrible disorder. It makes me pretty angry that this isn't something she can't just get out off. She is currently under the 3rd percentile for her weight to height ratio. 28lbs 2oz and 41.06 inches tall.

Computers!!!

My computer went quits again. This sucks. Writing from downstairs but I can't get on it regularly so I'll let everyone know when I'm alive again. LOL

Asher 5 weeks old now!

Holy cow time goes by fast. Time is a funny thing though isn't it? Sometimes you wish time would go by slow so that you can enjoy the moment and other times you wish it would go by fast so that you can get to the point in life where you want it to go by slow. Strange. Perhaps I should just wish time would go by at a nice pace that never changes........technically it does. LOL




Anyhow, here is my sweet baby weighing in at nearly 10 pounds now! What a little chunk and I think he'll be my rockstar with that hair! :)

Catching Up Again

Ok - So I have a few things to catch up on. I have been a little busy with appointments and finishing things with the house. First off, Hananh has gained weight. She was checked yesterday and weighes 28lbs 6oz. That is just great! Maizer weighes 27lbs 6oz and Asher weighes 9lbs 12oz.

I have lost 4 pounds this week which is also great!

Josh picked up a spinet piano for me that I found for free on craigslist yesterday. It is in good shape and came with a bench. I need to have it tuned and maybe 3 strings at the very top need new strings. We'll see what the tuner man says. I own an upright piano already but I wanted one that doesn't overwhelm the space in our home and a spinet is an upright that isn't tall.



It looks good but does need to be refinished.

I also haven't posted any pictures of Josh's mom coming to visit us for a very short weekend. Here she is with the kids.





And no - she doesn't always have her sunglasses on. LOL

I see my Dr. this Friday and then I will start working on getting the baby weight off. I do hope to lose 3 more pounds this week just so I can go into my appointment with 30 pounds total lost since giving birth. That would be awesome!!!

Well, I am off to clean the house and take care of a bunch of sick kids. :( All 3 of them.
