Resolution Updates!

I am so happy to inform you that so far so good when it comes to our New Years Resolutions! I am really proud of ourselves!

We have done excellent with not going out to eat. Since the beginning of the year we have actually gone out to eat 1 time. We went to Ruby Tuesdays with a great couple. We still ate pretty healthy, even though I splurged and ate some fries. I did not feel good after that so in the future, I may just stick to a salad or another healthier side item. When we were in TX a few weeks ago, Kyle's sister Karen's mother in law did bring dinner to us one night....Olive Garden and one other day while we were there we had another dinner from a cafe that we love down there. But I'd say that three dinners not made by us is pretty good for the first month, plus it's hard to not eat out when you are traveling.

I've been taking salads to school every day and I truly love them! I try to make them exciting by using different toppings and low cal/fat free dressings. We've really gotten hooked on spinach salads! Which is awesome because I've read that regular old lettuce isn't as great an option since it doesn't have as many nutrients as the darker greens.

Also, working out three times a week has been a success this month. There have been days when we've been out of town, or stuck in the house due to the snow, but I've made it work! Thanks to OnDemand Exercise TV and Karen's workout room, I've stuck to my plan! I go to Curves Fitness for Women and just recently they have started having Zumba there two days a week. It is so fun and really helps me get those workouts in!

As far as the diet cokes, I still haven't had one since Christmas Eve, but it is SOOO hard for me! I crave them all the time! I need lots of encouragement on that one! Kyle's fine without them and says he never ever thinks about them, but its a different story for me! Oh well! I won't give in!

I hope you are all sticking to your resolutions as well! What did you resolve this year? I'd love to know!

My Lovely Baby Bump!

My belly is getting bigger and bigger each day. Even though I haven't gained any weight by the doctor's scale...it's definitely growing. There has been a request to see the baby bump, so here it is in all its glory! Enjoy! This is me today at 16 weeks.

The Week is Here!

We can't believe this is the week we will see our daughter. Some of you may be thinking, "What? How do you know? Your due date isn't even until next week!" Well, let me update those of you who may be thinking this. Last week, on Wednesday, we went to the doctor, hoping and praying that my body would be showing some progress towards having a baby. The doctor checked and informed us that the baby is still kinda high, and that I'm not 1 cm dilated, but I'm not 0 cm either. So she told us it was time to make a plan. Here's what she came up with. She said that if I am dilated 2-3 cm by this Wednesday, then she'll send me over to the hospital right then and start inducing me. But, if I'm not 2-3 cm then the following day, Thursday, she would do a c-section. She knew we were going to be on Fall Break and that we'd love to spend a couple of free extra days off with Ava so she said we could do it this week. She's going out of town on Fri...

January's Over.....What?!?

Where has the time gone? I can not believe January is just about over. Things have been crazy busy in our home, but still great nonetheless. Ava's getting so big! She's rolling over from back to belly and belly to back, she's playing with toys (her favorite is a monkey we named Milo), she's laughing and "talking" all the time; her personality is really starting to shine through. I can't believe our baby is going to be 4 months old in about a week. CRAZY! Other updates on our girl.....she's sleeping through the night, we were blessed that she started doing that at 6 weeks ( Babywise really helped with this!) She's getting rice cereal in two bottles a day during the week and she's also taking Prevacid . Both of these are because of her horrible reflux. They seem to be helping quite a bit. She spends the weekdays with our wonderful babysitter here at home and they love each other! In March she'll start going to daycare. I am a little nervous ...
