I Must Be Crazy!

If someone had told me five months ago that I would be traipsing around the county with a four-month-old and a two-year-old four out of five days this week I would have told them they were crazy, but that's exactly what we did!

Sawyer had his PlayPals class at the Plano Parks & Rec. on Tuesday. It was his second class and it went really well. I think that he has warmed up to Miss Linda pretty quickly. I only stayed for ten minutes of the hour and a half this week. I was there closer to forty-five last week. I was only out in the hall both times. I haven't built up the courage to actually leave the facility.

We went to Weight Watchers on Wednesday. I lost a whopping .6 pounds. Man, it sure is tough to go when I haven't lost much weight. I have lost 13.8 pounds in fourteen weeks. At this rate I will get to my goal weight by the time I'm eighty! By then everything will be headed so south that I won't care one way or the other.

I had a mammogram and sonogram yesterday. I wasn't planning on the mammogram, but apparently it is procedure to begin with a mammogram. It was not at all as horrible as I have heard it would be. I guess not much would be when my own personal mammogram is pulling, pinching, and yes, sometimes biting, on me on a daily basis. The great news (I guess) is that they didn't find anything physically wrong with my left side. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to have a tumor, but it is really frustrating when they tell me that there's no explanation as to the reduced production. I guess that I just have to be happy with the right side and continue to do what I'm doing. It looks like it's working out well enough. At least now I have a definitive answer as far as to whether or not something is physically wrong. I just wish that I didn't have to still be feeding her every two hours. I think that she would be able to go longer if I had adequate amounts on both sides. I'm still planning to wait until she's six months old to start solids, though. From what I've read it helps with the digestion process of breastfed babies to wait because their systems have had that much longer to develop and be able to digest something other than breastmilk.

Lorne and I went to the dentist and had our cleanings today. I have FIVE cavities!!! I was absolutely floored! I have had four in my entire life, and now I have five at one time. I missed my cleaning in March because I went to see the perinatologist instead and then when I tried to reschedule I felt like it was too close to my due date. I didn't want to go into labor in the dental chair! Now I have to go for two more appointments so that I can get them filled. I am so bummed out! The dentist said that they are between my teeth so that's probably why I haven't had any discomfort. I can't imagine not feeling any pain, but whatever. That's how I'm feeling about the whole thing....whatever! This was my first visit to this office. He is our fourth dentist we've had since we were married. I felt like it was very clinical and detached. The hygentist wore her mask the whole time and never even introduced herself. I miss Dr. Dennard and Brenda! :(

I need to get more creative in my picture taking, but this was the best I could do:

Thanks for the Disney Store outfits Aunt Jamie!

Sawyer helped me make dinner the other night. He added (and ate) the mozarella to the baked rigatoni.

Here are some pictures from Denise's shower:

Laura, Denise, and I.

Denise and Ducky. The little baggies on the table are the duck candies that Lorne and I made.

It was Lorne's idea to add the "water" at the bottom to make the cake larger. The only downside was that we all ended up with blue teeth!
