I'm really going to try....

So I really need/want to shed some fat, I've been on and off "diets" since I stopped breastfeeding and every time I end up cheating or just giving up. I am so bad because I like to do things I am not supposed to do. It's like the second I tell myself "ok you can't eat that, i'm like ok give me some." So maybe I should take a different approach my two biggest down falls are 1. coke 2. chocolate...so maybe I can still have these things just in moderation. Also I would like to start exercising more I have a freakin joggin stoller for hell's sake and I don't even jog! so I want to take baby steps because that whole going cold turkey thing just doesn't work for me...I am really going to try to do this Jake will be leaving for boot camp and training and he will lose all this weight and be in shape and then what he comes back like that and I'm still a fatso who can't even run a mile? I am just sick of being over weight and constantly being self concious trying to find clothes to hide my body instead of show it off. I really am going to try...on a lighter note Gabriela had her first rice cereal today and she actually ate and like it! the first time I tried she just spit it all out but I think it was too watery, anyways it was awesome she is growing and trying new things and doing new things and I enjoy every minute of it...here are some pics of her messy meal time!!

Teething already!!!

I just discovered a little white dot (start of a tooth) in Gabriela's mouth today...I was all excited, sad, and feeling bad all at the same time. Excited cuz its her first tooth, sad because it's here already which means she's growing so fast and I can't slow it down, and feeling bad because she is in pain. I knew it had to be coming because she is drooling like crazy, and sucking her hands and she also like her hard pacifier that I bought her on accident ha. I just had to share, she is crying now :( poor thing so I need to go comfort her..

Ahhh...quiet time

So I am sitting here enjoying my quiet time all to myself...Gabriela went back to sleep and I at least have an hour or so to get something done, Yet I sit here on the computer lol. I've come to learn that although I love my little baby doll so much I still need time for myself. It's not that easy for me though, whenever I leave her I worry about her and miss her, eventually i'll get over it, it's healthy for the both of us. Anyways I have been struggling with switching her to the crib in her room. I don't think she likes it I tried 3 nights in a row and every night she ended up in bed with me which just took us backwards not forward! Last night I knew that the only way we would both get some sleep is to put her bassinett back in the room...we all slept well. I don't know what to do eventually she is going to have to go in her crib and of course I look up every little thing on babycenter.com I swear I can't live without it but there was not much good advice on this issue, I think I will start putting her in her crib a little bit everyday to get her more comfortable with it. It's crazy how when you become a mother your whole life changes, You become interested in things you weren't before and your first "job" is being a mother and everything else comes second, and how you find yourself loving to talk to other moms. It really is a blessing and a gift to have a child and I am very greatful to have this little darling girl in my life there's nothing more wonderful than her little smile every morning when she wakes up and sees me and I know she knows who I am and she loves me as much as I love her....ok enough sappyness haha until next time!

Just for you summer
