This is now our lives…
Good morning everyone. I want to say I’m highly frustrated right now. I am out of sugar so I cannot enjoy my normal morning coffee. I’m half tempted to “borrow” some from a neighbor. [Which I never do because that means I'll have to talk to people and my social anxiety kicks in. We will see what happens. I really REALLY want coffee today!!!]Moving on to an actual topic… I took Mikhail to the doctor yesterday for his one month check up and weigh-in. He is now 10lbs 8oz. Which means, he almost gained 3lbs since we left the hospital!!! He’s a BIG boy already. Makes me sad that he’s growing so quickly. I want this time to creep by. The doctor took a look at him because he’s still really congested and such. Apparently, his nasal passages aren’t very large and they’re swollen. So when they are swollen they’re practically closed because they’re not very ‘open’ to begin with. He said that basically all I can do for him continue to suck out his nose and wait until it grows more. =[ My poor little guy can't get no relief. [Alright, I caved, I went and asked the neighbor for some sugar. Didn't get much, hopefully I can use just enough for at least 3-4 cups of coffee.] Anyways, the doctor said that the baby should be eating only on demand now and that he should start sleeping 5-6 hours for a long stretch (hopefully at night.) Last night was SO cute… Mike was changing his clothes, and he was just cooing and caaing to us. It was like he was talking to us. Moving along… Mike and I had to go to Kohl’s last night so he could buy dress pants and new shoes. He apparently is going to get all dressed up and decked out for the Christmas Party tomorrow. Remind you, my own sister told him he could just wear ‘nice black jeans’ because this man doesn’t get dressed up for ANYTHING… He’s wearing a tie, and a black dress shirt, shiny black dress shoes. Holy shit! I was quite impressed and in awe of him when he had everything on yesterday. I’ve never EVER seen him that way so it was definitely a change of pace. He looked great! So, a few more random things… Yesterday was our four year anniversary. ♥♥♥ I cannot believe its been four years already. Yet, in another sense, I cannot believe its only been four years so far. We didn’t do anything special. He felt really bad, so we’ll see if he makes it up to me on another day or a different way.I’m skinny enough to wear my ring again. The ring that Mike bought me, then later proposed to me with, now fits once again. I’m also under 200lbs! (I will admit) I was 250lbs prior to getting pregnant in March. I am now a little under 200lbs! I’m so excited. I pray that I’m able to keep it off, and maybe even lose some more, but I’m not going to beat myself up if I don’t lose anymore. I’m pretty comfortable with my weight right now. Mike found out he gained a lot while I was pregnant (he was eating for me too apparently =D) so he’s on a mission to start losing weight. Which is cool, then maybe we can do it together. It might be a lot easier now that we’re non-smokers. [21 days without a single drag off a cigarette today!] I think it would be really cool to sign up at a gym somewhere. I doubt we’d ever go though. That’s the thing is making yourself go. Which would be a lot harder with the kids. I’d sign up for one if I drove. [I WILL get my license this year!!!]Alright… I suppose I have loads of laundry to put away. I have to make sure the house is clean for my sister Sarah and her fiance Josh to come and watch the boys tomorrow. [I'm so freaking excited!!!] We get to stay at the hotel, and drink our livers away and not worry about anything. I know you’re excited too, Gwenn! Alright, baby is awake and very hungry. I have more to say, but I guess that will wait. Until then…
