WOW been a while since I posted. I guess I just wasn't in the mood. Plus I didn't have anything positive to say. So what's been happening.....
July I spend the whole month feeling sorry for myself. I returned to work August 1st and they felt like dooom day to me. I just didn't want to do it. But the day has come and gone and it really wasn't that bad. Work side is pretty good, everyone is really nice to me and was happy to see me. Lindsay seems to doing really well at the dayhome. She did have her first breakdown yesterday when I left. Poor kid, she's too young to understand, all she knows is her mommy is leaving. *sigh* I'm sure it'll get better once we get into a routine. I'm easing back into work. I'm only working 2 days a week in August. Then in September I return to a regular schedule. Which will be 2 full days and 3 nights of 4-9pm. This works out well for everyone. Lindsay's in care for 2 9hr days and 3 3hr days. I get to spend 3 almost full days with her and her dad gets to spend 3 evenings alone with her. Which should be interesting.
Hmmmm Lindsay wise, she's not crawling yet. We did visit a pedi about it in the early July. He was such a jerk, he was the type who i guess felt he was a big shot and didn't need to spend the time of day with us...whatever. We've been referred to a physiotherapist and have our first appointment August 18th. The whole situation is fairly frustrating, everyone has an opinion on it. I'm sick of hearing "oh she'll crawl when she's ready" ummmmm alright. Or my personal fav "you surround her with toys why would she crawl?" ummmm okay i'm going to take away all her toys, yep that's going to make her crawl. Some people......
She did learn to go from lying down in her crib to sitting up. She's soooooooo proud of herself too. I made the mistake of laughing and cheering the first time she did it, so now she's all smiles when she does it. *sigh* naps and bedtime are now quite the challenge.
We made 2 trips in the last month, went to Victoria for July long weekend and went to Saskatoon 2 weeks ago. Both were alright. In Saskatoon Lindsay refused to sleep. So each night was a challenge and needless to say I didn't get a lot of sleep. I was thankful to get home and get a good nights sleep.
This past Saturday Jason and I re-joined Weight Watchers. I weigh the same as I did when I joined last October after Lindsay was born and 6lbs higher than when I joined before I was pregnant. It's quite a life adjustment, in the first couple weeks you adjust to not being able to eat as much as you want when you want. But at least I can still eat chocolate bars, I just have to make sure it's within my points for the day. I'm really hoping it works this time. I'm sick and tired of being over weight. I want to feel normal again, I want to feel comfortable again. So wish me luck!!!!
Anyways that's about all that is new right now......
