Rileigh is a chunky monkey!

Rileigh had her 2 month well visit today at 2 days shy of 10 Weeks old. She weighed in at 11lbs 10oz and is 23 inches long. She is in the 75th percentile for height and weight. She is a big girl! Surprisingly, she did well with her shots, too.

As for me, I cheated on my diet. Boo! I had fast food for the first time in 10 days. Trust me, it wasn't with it but with everything going on I didn't have time to make lunch.

We are getting Skyler a snowboard for the yard this week so if we ever get snow I'll update on how how she does. She watched the Dew Tour with Pete and I yesterday and was excited like she always is so I'm excited to see how she does!

Until next time enjoy a few new pictures if Rileigh! Skyler hasn't been cooperating for pictures lately.

Oh what a... Week?

This week has been very productive! I finally completed a photo wall in our living room and it already makes the house look more like a home!

I also painted Skyler's room, FINALLY! I was going to do it before Rileigh was born but didn't have time. It still needs another coat of paint before I will post a picture. I also did a painting for her room, which I love!

I also decided that since I'm finally getting my diet under control, I can start working out again. Eventually I want to complete the 30 day workout challenge on www.bodyrock.tv. Until I can get to that point, I'm going too build myself up slowly. That being said, today was day one. Thanks to Pinterest, I found some fun workouts to do. The workouts are posted in this blog. It was fun and I'm excited to see how much I weigh come Thursday.

Last Friday I weighed in at 178lbs at my post pardum appointment. After 8 Weeks, I wad already down 6 pounds from BEFORE I got pregnant. Rileigh is being baptized February 5th so I would like to lose 8lbs by then and weigh 170lbs. That gives me 2 Weeks to reach my first goal, and I have all the faith in the world I can accomplish it.

Rileigh is trying to sit up on her own, as well. It blows my mind how quickly children grow up and I'm so not ready for it! She has her 2 month check up on Monday. I can't wait to update with how much she has grown!

Until then, I hope everyone has a great weekend!

It Has Been A While!

It's been a while since I have updated this blog. Since the last update, we have moved and had a beautiful baby girl!

Life is good and we couldn't ask for more.

From here on out, I promise to be more diligent with updates. This blog will consist of updates from my personal weight loss journey, craft ideas I have completed, updates to the house that have been made, updates on our children, and everything in between. I'm looking forward to sharing my life with everyone by leaving myself completely open and honest. It's going to be fun, but a journey non the less!

Is she really THAT big?

Skyler had her 3 year well visit on Wednesday April 13th. Who knew that she grew 3 inches since last year?!

She is now officially 37 inches tall (3ft 1in for the people who don't know math) and weighs 32 pounds.

Next time we go to The Great Escape Lodge I'm bringing a measuring tape. Their signs state that you have to be 36 inches tall to ride the waterslides with an adult. She 'measured' about 3 inches to short, according to their standard. I had her doctor's office measure her TWICE and she measured 37 inches both times. Apparently The Great Escape Lodge doesn't know how to use a ruler!!!

All in all, we are doing well and Skyler is acting her age, THREE!!!

Skyler is 3!!!!!

Where did the last 3 years go? I feel like it was just yesterday we were bringing home a brand new baby girl. Now, she's 3 and full of A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E!!! If you don't believe me, I'll post a video of her having a temper tantrum some day!

We had her party on her birthday with only a select few family and friends. It turned out to be a great day. Really nice weather and all!!! Following her party, we brought her to The Great Escape Lodge for some fun in the water. Let's just say, their measuring sticks are wrong so we missed out on the waterslides, but still had an amazing time. So much so that Skyler threw a fit because we had to leave. All was forgotten once the wait staff at Johnny Rockets sang her happy birthday and gave her ice cream. You can always win her over with ice cream!!

Here's some pictures of her day:

Birthday Cake!!!

All of the kids at the party: Kylie, Allanah, Skyler, Kaleb, Kaiden, and Savannah

The goofy but oh so adorable birthday girl

SMILE!!!!

Our family of FOUR!!!

1st Ultrasound

We had our first ultrasound Thursday morning and things went really well! They pushed my due date back 8 days so now it is November 23rd. We got to see the heartbeat as well, so things are looking really good!!

We go back in 4 weeks, and during that time we need to decide if we want to be tested for Down's Syndrome. We didn't even consider it with Skyler, but this time we might.

I ended up receiving IV fluids on Tuesday due to hyperemesis and persistent vomiting. Morning sickness has been better the last two days, though. It's amazing how good food tastes after not eating for 2 days!!

Skyler is better as well! Today is her birthday! Happy 3rd Birthday Skyler!!!

Morning Sickness and an Ill 3 Year Old

Nothing new has been happening lately. Well.. that's if you count my horrible morning sickness and Skyler being sick AGAIN as nothing.

Hopefully we will be spending time tomorrow with family while Pete is at work. Such a bummer to work strictly weekends. I hope Skyler can kick this cold soon and be back to her old self. Poor Kid!

5pm and she is passed out.
