My New Diet Plan

So I've gained a few lbs. since I've been married(who hasn't right?).....then I got pregnant and gained a few more...ok more like 22 more(she was worth it though). After I had Adalee I was determined to lose the weight plus a little more. I stared my "diet" on my first day back to work. Aug. 5th. I don't really like to call it a diet, I call it a healthy change in my eating habits. I drink a shake for breakfast and lunch. And with luch I have fresh fruits or vegetables, then have a normal dinner. I also don't deprive myself of anything like sweets, I just limit myself. If I were to try to cut out sweets entirely I would fail. When I first started this, I was 3 lbs. away from my pre-pregnancy weight. And now I'm 5 lbs. lighter than when I started!!!! I must say I'm pretty proud of myself. I've been so good about sticking to my diet without cheating. I set a weight goal and if I reach that goal I get this...........

Pretty sweet eh??? No, I don't think I'm fat and It's not so much about the number I see on the scale as it is about getting back to feeling good. I just don't feel healthy. So wish me luck. I'm already down 5 lbs. 10 more to go!!!

3 Months

Today Adalee is 3 months old. She is growing up so fast. I can't believe just 3 short months ago I was holding my tiny baby girl for the first time. I can't imagine my life without her. She brings so much joy and happiness into our home. She is such a sweetie-pie!

I also just finished my 7 days on at work. As most everyone knows I work 7 days then have 7 off at the hospital, and this was my first week back. I had a hard time the first two days, but it got better. Having family watch her makes it a tiny bit easier to leave her(just a tiny bit though). My awesome Parents watch her 4 days a week and Cameron watches her the other 3. I guess I shouldn't say JUST my parents watch her because I know for a fact my two adorable sisters watch her and my brother and cute sister in law have kidnapped her a few times too. So I guess its a combined effort. Adalee is so blessed to have such loving family willing to watch her. I know she has so much fun playing with everyone. I miss her terribly while I'm at work and I am SO looking forward to having the next 7 days off to play with my Addy Baby!!!

The Princess and her Throne

Cam and I finally bought her a Bumbo to try it out, and to my amazement......she does have enough control to sit in it. She LOVES it. Now she feels like she is part of the party sitting up.

The princess in her new Throne.....

She looks way too old sitting up. What happened to my little newborn baby? Adalee is one weeks shy of being 3 months old.
