Cute things my kids say

My dad died on Fathers Day 2009. A couple months after he died my sister, Lorisa, was at my house and we were talking about him. My sister was sitting on the coach and was kind of staring off in a daze. My spunky 3 year old Mika came up and asked my sister, "What's wrong, are you sad?" Lorisa says, "Ya, I miss my daddy, he's not here anymore, he died." Mika rubs her arm and says,"Ah, it's okay we'll get you a new daddy."

Cute things my kids say

Every time one of my kids say or do something cute I will post it, some of them might be things that I remember in the past, but it's a nice way for me to journal them. If you have something you would like to share, I would love to hear about it!

Weight loss after baby number 8

I just had my 8th baby on February 2nd this year. I usually start dropping weight pretty fast then get stuck on the last 5 pounds. But this time, a ton of people brought dinners for my family so we wouldn't have to cook. It was wonderful and I am so grateful...., but they all brought desert too, which means I pretty much devoured half of it each night lol. 

When I got pregnant this last time I started at 10 pounds over weight, so I was already bigger than usual. Ya, 10 pounds may not seem much but for me being only 5' 3", it brought me from a nice 7 to 10. So this last pregnancy I wasn't the cute tiny little thing like I usually am during my pregnancies. I gained a little over 25 pounds, not bad, but I ended up at 170 pounds, the biggest I have ever been. 

So today was supposed to be day number 3 with out sweets, but I ended up having some wonderful gourmet chocolate and and ice cold Pepsi which was quite refreshing! The day I started I weighed 155, day number 2 155, and this morning 152 and I haven't been below 154 since I had the baby so I am excited. We will see what the scale says in the morning. I will record my weight each day and might put up a picture tomorrow. And if they baby is going to start letting me sleep at night, I might just start exercising to an on demand exercise program. Do any of you have any suggestions?

Good night world!
