Still thinking of doing to parenting blog...

But am not sure what I want my focus to be... I know there are blog out there that do product reviews and I have alot of products I like to share... bu8t I also want it to be inspirational and give lots of tips and such. Just do not know how to start that it is not totally mish mashy, KWIM????

So excited

My Mom are doing something this weekend I have been wanting to do for months, cooking 12 meals in one day and freezing them for a later date. I am not a huge cooker, I must be in the mood for cooking, I rather eat out. But knowing that the days I do not feel like cooking or DH does not feel like cooking I can pull a great meal out of the freezer. Plus doing all the cooking in one day sounds great plus doing all the cooking in one day sounds great to me!

If all goes well we will be doing this one a month!

My 5 year anni

Our 5 year Anniversary is coming up, I really want a ring from DH, should I hint at it or just come out and tell him...

I either want an anniversary band or a mothers ring.

my Love / Hate relationship...

With breastfeeding...

I love breastfeeding and I hate it all at the same time, but like I said before I may never get this expereince again, I want to go as long as possible.

LOVE
1. I love my cuddle time with Camryn
2. It forces me to put down what I am doing and relax with my baby. (relaxing is not my specialty)
3. Saving us $$$$
4. Night time feedings are the best, just bring her into bed with us, latch her on and do back to sleep, i am not a sound sleeper so this works for us. I feel like I am sleeping better b/c of it, except waking up to check her breathing every two hours.
5. I am the only one who can provide this for her.
6. My Boobs look GREAT!
7. I have an excuse to eat
8. I feel good knowing that i am giving her the very best

HATE
1. I can not lose weight
2. I can eat whatever I want which is dangerous. The French Pastry shop is way to close to out house.
3. planning my day around how I will feed her and finding a place where to feed her.
4. my supply sucks and sometimes we supplement with bottles.
5. I know this will not last forever which makes me sad.
6. Leaking boobs, especially when I get out of the shower
7. wish she would go longer then every 2 1/2 to 3 hours between feedings, when Avery was formula fed she would go at least 4 hours. Which is nice when you are trying to get things done. Plus you never know how long she will feed for, sometimes 15 minutes sometimes 1 hour.
8. I CAN NOT LOSE WEIGHT!!!

getting avery to clean up

is like pulling teeth... she just does not want to do it.

She threw a fit at my mom's house after my sister's baby shower and cried and cried, I think she was alos very tired and having a million people telling her what to do just does her in. Plus everyone makes comments on how she is just throwing a fit b/c of the baby, MMM... no she is three years old.

I plan on making it a game for now on, thinking of sticking a wash basket in the middle of the room and have her pout everything in there every night to be put away... Maybe this will work maybe not.

Weight loss

I did not breastfeed Avery because I couldn't. But I am loving to breastfeed Camryn, i did not think I would make it this far (GO ME!) and am so proud of myself. Every time i get frustrated I tell myself I will never have this experience again I should keep going or I will regret it.

But in the weight loss arena I suck. I am hungry all the time and who ever told you BFing causes you to lose weight also sucks. Sorry to be vulgar. But I am frustrated. I need to shed these extra pounds, I feel like a huge smushy mess.

I really want to lose weight ASAP b/c I have tow things coming up that will require pictures, we are getting Camryn Baptised and I remember looking at myself in pictures when Avery was baptised at 4 months and I look horrible. Two we are one of the lucky ones who are getting our Pictures taken my Rachel (maydaygirl) in Sept. I want to look at least not so FAT.

Any advice for me. I really do not want my supply to tank but I really need to shed something. Because right now I am hating what I look like.
