08:17 husband is apologizing for being slow. he doesn't know WHY he's slow this morning. maybe it has to do with the 1/3 bottle of rum he drank? #

08:18 ummm...drank last night I should say. 3 hours until the parents arrive and drunk husband did 1/2 the stuff he said he would last night. #

08:19 time to kick the last minute cleaning into high gear! after we kill the ant infestation in the attic. good times i tell you! #

08:16 3 DAYS UNTIL DISNEY!!!! #

09:40 Dr. appt this afternoon. I know they're going to say I'm nuts for coming in for swollen gums and a headache, but for 2 days?? #

09:40 Plus, now my ear aches and my gland is swollen (all right side stuff). And Tim is having similar symptoms on his right side. Odd. #

11:30 Yellow sleeper = blue toejam? #

11:41 Fussy baby doesn't want to be held or put down. Please don't be getting sick! Is blue toejam a symptom of a cold? ;-) #

12:08 Thank you God! Tim will be home just in time for me to not have to take the boys with me to the doctor! yay! #

12:56 Gay male student voted prom queen at LA school. I figured it would have happened at my old school first. #

13:03 Dr's scale says i'm only .4Lbs away from pre-pregnancy weight! :: #

14:33 Gum &/or sinus infection. At least she gave me an antibiotic. I'll be 100% for Disney!!! #

19:58 husband is pissy because he filled a trash can and i added a piece of HIS trash then told him to quit overfilling it. #

19:58 now he's going to get his OWN trash can. good for him. another trash can he won't empty until i say something about it. he's such a brat. #

OMG A POST!!!

We've got 3 days before we head to Disney World.  I am beyond excited!  It's been 15 years since I've been and Tim has never been.  We've got 5 days and 5 nights of fun planned...well...we'll be there at least.  We're not much on the planning side (which is why I've been begging for restaurant recommendations at the last minute) but we'll still have a blast.  After having to plan everything down to my bathroom time for the past 5 1/2 months it will be nice to not have to be anywhere at a specific time (except for dinner).  Sleeping through the night...sleeping in...CAN'T WAIT!

On the other hand, I'm going to miss the boys horribly!  I haven't been away from them for more than two hours since we came home from the hospital.  Even in the hospital, they were just down the hallway.  My parents will be taking care of them, so I know they'll be in great hands.  My Mom even offered to take pictures and email them to me. 

********************************************

I've lost a grand total of 19.6 pounds since April 1.  I haven't stuck to my diet AT ALL over the past week, but I haven't been too concerned by it.  If I get too burnt out I won't be able to get back into it.  I think Disney will give me a nice break from it.  I didn't quite make my Disney goal, but I only missed it by 1.5 pounds.  I did have to buy new clothes to wear, though.  I feel GREAT!  It was wonderful to buy smaller clothes.  The jeans I bought after the boys were born are too big, now.  I finally purged my closet of all things maternity (except for a dress, but you wouldn't know it was a maternity dress if you didn't see the label).  Of course, I still can't fit into much of my pre-pregnancy clothes, though.  I'm 1.5 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight, but due to the way my body was morphed and contorted it will take more than that to get me back into those clothes.  I'm not bothered nearly as much as I was though.  I'm just grateful to have lost as much as I have and to not feel so self conscious in shorts and a t-shirt!

 ********************************************

Postpartum depression is still a bitch.  I'm sure that I'm not doing as well as I'd like to because I'm not getting as much sleep as I'd like to.  Both boys are waking up at least twice a night.  It's impossible to keep them on the same schedule at night (trying just results in even more wake-ups).  I'm typically up every 1-3 hours which means there's no consecutive sleep.  Most days Trip feels the need to be up for the day at 6 am.  I don't mind getting up with them too much because at least they're eating enough this way, but I'd like some good sleep once in a while (DISNEY!  WOO-HOO!).  Both of them are highly distracted during the day so I can't always get them to finish a bottle.

Solids...yeah.  It's definitely interesting trying to get either one of them to eat.  Jack has taken to it better than Trip, but neither one of them are big fans.  I can usually get about an ounce of food into Jack and if I'm lucky I might get an ounce in Trip.  He doesn't seem to like the taste of anything, though.  At least the faces he makes are highly amusing.  So far they've tried rice cereal (boo), green beans (boo), sweet potatoes (yum), and bananas (yum).  I honestly think that Trip just isn't ready for solids, but I'm going to keep trying.  I don't push the issue too much, though.  If I only get a couple of bites in him, so be it.

********************************************

Sorry I haven't been reading or commenting much lately.  Exhaustion, PPD, babies, etc.  You get the point, I hope.  I still care, I promise!  I'm hoping the vacation will revitalize me!

 Uh-oh...the Monster awakens!  Gotta run!

Yay!

I am so excited with how my weight loss is going!  I even managed to wear a pre-pregnancy shirt yesterday and can squeeze into my old jeans!

My Weight Chart:


My right-now-goal is to get down to my pre-pregnancy weight by the time we go to Disney World (06/01).  I've only got 6 pounds left for that goal.  I'm sure I'll gain a little bit of weight back on vacation, but that's fine with me.
