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.

A post

You wanted it, you asked for it, so here it is. A post. Hopefully this post will satisfy all your desires. I am not writing about the apple of my eye, Claire, but of the other apple of my eye--reality tv. I love it! Right now I am getting my fill of Big Brother. I have even lured Chris into my dark place. He mostly watched last season because Dick was such a jerk, but Chris is hooked. He's a dedicated viewer once again this season. Sadly, he was a fan of Matty who was kicked off a few weeks ago. I don't think I have a favorite. I find them all to be so obnoxious, yet I watch. Go figure. I obviously need some more excitement in my life. Girls who wear butt showing shorts, screaming matches, verbal abuse, crazy eyes, back stabbing, boys running around in their colored tighty whiteys (if tighty whiteys are colored, are they still called tighty whiteys?)---all in one episode! It is a gold mine. My second can't miss show is Housewives of Orange County or New York City. I really ...

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 ...

2 weeks...

As I write this, my house is being cleaned and not by me. This is my favorite day of the week. There is nothing like going home to a clean house and smelling the bleach to know it is germ free as well. This is my second good day in a row! I took the day off yesterday. Claire didn't have school due to Fasching (German equivalent of Halloween--minus the door to door trick or treating), so I gave Mya the option of hanging out with us as well. She took some convincing, but later said she had a great day. I must admit that I was focused on giving my back a much needed break, so my morning consisted of napping and laying on the couch. Not my best parenting in action, but it did wonders for the rest of the day. We met Chris for lunch, then returned home to enjoy the sunshine before the girls' swimming lessons. It was in the 50's yesterday, absolutely gorgeous! It really is hard to believe that we made it through the entire winter with no snow. I think it snowed possibly 2 days, b...
