Well, I'm doing this....

So I've been debating putting this on the blog because lets face it, its kinda VERY embarrassing. Anyone that knows me, knows that I don't really love my body. I am thankful that it works, but I wish it looked so much better. I am tired of looking in the mirror and not loving much less liking what I see. Its very sad to me really. SOOOOO. I'm doing this. I'm making it public. And gah! I can't believe I am putting this on the WWW. I am going to post my weight and then date and then log and post every week my progression. (hopeful progression). Basically I'm going to need some encouragement. If you don't normally comment, I'm asking you to please comment IF its positive!

SO here goes....

Saturday December 28- Grand total weigh in of 182.
Sunday January 6- 176.2




I bought the book The Skinny Rules By Bob Harper. I'm following it pretty closely and really trying to make a change in me rather than just diet. Or loose weight. I am also vowing to do some kind of physical activity 5 days a week. Something where at least I'm getting my heart rate up. I have a gym membership and am going to start going now that Hansen is 6 weeks old.  I also signed up for an awesome 5K in April. I'm doing it with my sister Erricka, sister in law Erika and some of my very best friends! I'm ready to do this! Thanks for your help and support!

Kinlee girl

You are so sweet to your new baby!!

Happy two weeks

We love you so much dinosaur boy!!!

Introducing....

Hansen Michael Smith! Born November 23 at 12:51pm. 6 pounds 9 ounces 20 inches. He is such a delight and we all are in love with this sweet little man.

10 Days....

The list is dwindling!!!! YAY! We are getting there. Mr man's room is done! Pictures to come. His silky is almost finished (which is a big deal in the Smith family). The crib is put up. The little crib is up in our room. Blankets are out and washed. My bag is half way packed. There is still some deep cleaning I'd like to get done though. I need to clean out the car too. Perhaps a trip to the car wash for FHE wouldn't be a bad idea! Pictures will be posted soon. We are getting ready to meet our sweet little boy!

Almost there....

I'm 36 weeks. I am not ready to have a baby. At all. We don't have his room finished. Or the crib put up. Or sheets to put on said bed. I have washed some clothes and put them in the dresser. There are still a TON of things on my to-do list. However, Josh is in Chicago this weekend so I am laying low! Not really wanting to push myself into labor. Who wants to have a baby without their husband there? Not this lady!!! I did have a doctors appointment yesterday and I'm at a 1. I have never been dilated this early on. I've never gone into labor on my own either. SOOOO, we will just see what happens. Josh gets home tomorrow at 4:30. Lets just hope this baby stays put until then! 

First day of school

Ava started second grade. Emery started kindergarten and Kinlee just wants to be in the middle of it all!!
