mya and claire







I have definitely dropped the ball on this blogging thing. I was so good with claire, posting weekly and sometimes daily all the things that she was doing, eating and her sleeping patterns. Aiy, yaiy, yaiy. Mya is a great baby. She sleeps for 3-4 hours at a time, sometimes even 5 hours. She basically wakes to eat and falls back to sleep, although her time awake is increasing each day. Mya hardly fusses and rarely cries. However, that being said, when she wants something, she makes it known. I think she may get that quality from me. hmmm. She loves to be swaddled, but doesn't need to be in order to sleep. She is a pretty laid back kiddo and tolerates alot of helping from her big sister, Claire. Claire is the paci police and is constantly trying to shove the paci in Mya's mouth or smother her with kisses. Mya is loved, no doubt about it. We've changed bottles once again and reverted to using the medela special feeder bottle we had when Claire was born. It is working much better and Mya tolerates the flow much more easily. I can't believe my littlest girl is already 3 weeks old today. Times seems to pass even more quickly with two.

Hi you guys, just went through the site. What a beautiful baby. Both children are looking very well. I can't wait to come up and see you guys.
Kara, I think Mya looks alot like you.
I am glad you are doing so well getting into the habit of things. You do have a handful with the babys & the dog, but I think you both are enjoying the adventure of it all.

0.0

Yes, indeeedy do. 0.0 is exactly the amount of weight I lost this week. Irritating! Here's the breakdown: number of times I cheated on my diet--ZERO! number of times I worked out--FIVE!! (running, no less). Now that is a mean, mean slap in the face. After I picked myself off the floor and resisted the urge to throw the scale through my window, I've come to realize that it is time to call in the big guns. There will be no messing around. Through a very valuable (HA!--sense the sarcasm) inservice this year, I've learned that I am "Green," meaning logical, research based, problem solver, mathmatical thinker. I am applying the same thought and strategy to my 'get fit' adventure. There will be no relying on the treadmill to tell me how much I've burned. That thing lies, LIES, LIES!! Take for example, the fact that each time I worked out, I burned at least 300 calories--most often 350, my pulse was around 87 (which is pretty much a near death resting ...

my workout playlist

I never dreamed I'd be listening/watching this when I worked out, but it is true. Here it is: photo courtesty of Laurieberkner.com I wouldn't have it any other way. My little healthy lifestyle journey is going well. I have exercised 7 days thus far which consists of treadmill activity and an ab workout every other day. I don't pressure myself to run everyday, but I have run 4 of the 7 days. I am quite proud of that. I have never been a runner or enjoyed running, but I have grown to like it. I used to say that I had exercise induced asthma! I think I did, but maybe I outgrew it? ha. Whatever the reason, I am finding it pretty easy to run and maintain a steady pace for no less than 20 minutes each time. Pretty impressive feat for a girl like me. Interestingly, I had planned to take today off, but didn't. I actually had the desire to run. Chris and I are both sticking to the eating plan as well. So far I am down about 4 pounds. Although 4 pounds is plenty, it ...

7 weeks

7 weeks has brought a couple of changes for sweet baby Mya. She is eating 5+ ounces of milk/feeding. Mya is much more awake now. She typically sleeps for about 4 hours during the day, otherwise is checking out this big bad world. Mya seems to enjoy our daily walks. She looks around and is a pretty content kiddo. Claire tends to her pacis if the need arises. We've introduced her to the activity mat, which she enjoys if she is left alone; however, given the fact that Claire too is fascinated by the mat and Mya, being left alone is a rare occurence. Mya sits in the swing daily, although she isn't a huge fan at this point. We're hoping to change her ways. She is strong, holding her head for minutes at a time and loves standing on her little feet. Mya has begun smiling. She has done this consistently for the past several days, but it is difficult to capture such an event on film as she stops smiling the moment you break eye-contact. This milestone is such a heart melting one. Th...
