Logan is great - as per usual. Here he is below livin' it up at daycare. They actually let them just have an all out flour fun time. Crazy teachers I swear! They even taught Logan that it was super cool to blow the flour off his hands to make a flour cloud! Awesome. Can't wait for our next baking endeavour.... should be.... messy. :)
He is also taking swim classes on Monday nights. His last class is this coming Monday. It is a parent/tot class he takes with Nathan and they are having a great time! We might even do the next session that starts mid April since Logan is having so much fun.
A few cute moments/memories:
- Yesterday morning I was in the kitchen packing his lunch and I hear, "Momma, what are you doing?" I told him I was packing lunch. His response was, "No do lunch, come sit down, I cuddle you." Talk about melting a Momma's heart. And obviously I stopped what I was doing for some good cuddle time with my boy. I can't imagine he will want to do this when he is 16.
- He is in full love mode right now. He has always been a big lover boy, but he is showering daddy and I will hugs and kisses all the time. They are so random too. We'll be watching TV or doing just about anything or nothing and we'll hear, "Daaaaaaddy/Mooooooomma, I hug you! I kiss you!" And if he does it for one he always comes and gives love to the other. It is sweet.
- Yesterday his teacher at daycare told Nathan at pick up that Logan was pretending to take a bubble bath and somehow convinced every other kid to also take a bubble bath in the middle of the room. Thankfully it was just pretend and not a big mess for the teachers to clean up.
Lindsey/Baby Update:
We are just about 11 weeks and things are going fine. I've already been labeled a gestational diabetic. I am fairly certain I had it earlier than when I was diagnosed with Logan so I'll be continuing on the diet and pricking my finger 4 times a day and also will be starting insulin as my diet/exercise are not keeping my fasting numbers (the test first thing in the morning before you eat) down. They aren't THAT high. They need to be under 90 and they are anywhere from 91-98. But Insulin it is - one a day at bedtime at this point. That is all it was last time with Logan so I'm hoping for the same.
Everyone seems to be expecting me to break down and beat myself up about it. Well - I can't help at THIS point that I didn't lose more weight before pregnancy. I also can't help that this is how my body reacts to being pregnant. It is what it is at this time. I can worry and whine (and I do whine sometimes) and be all woe is me, but what good is that going to do, really? I just need to suck it up and deal and do what is best for baby.
It is a bit strange in that I've lost 12 pounds since finding out I was pregnant (so over the past 6-7 weeks). A result of not sitting on my butt 24/7, eating healthier, eating more appropriate portions and moving my booty more. My nutritionist was not thrilled with my weight loss, but at the same time, was she actually surprised? I can't imagine she would be. The last time I did well sticking to an eating plan was when pregnant with Logan. Are we surprised? I'm not. It wasn't about ME - it was about my baby. I have struggled for decades with self image, self esteem, self worth... (all the "selfs".) It has always been easy to put the effort in for someone else. It is harder for me to put the effort in for me. I never feel I'm worth it. My prayer is that by living this healthier food lifestyle for 8 months rather than 8 weeks I will be able to keep it going AFTER the baby arrives and get to a MUCH healthier weight. That will make me a MUCH happier women and FOR SURE a much better momma to my children.
Okay - enough rambling on about me. My next OB appointment is this coming Tuesday and we have our first trimester screening ultrasound on April 6th. GOOD TIMES!
