Went out this morning to buy some more yarn (have quite the collection now but could always use more, MUAHAHAHA), and after purchasing that.... I thought "I really want a biscuit!"
I was headed down the road to go get me one (or 2), and right before the turn, I said NO.
Oh, I still want that biscuit and I'm sure in the future, I'll give in and get it, but not today... not today!
Weighed myself this morning and of couse I'm back up. I just need to stop weighing myself. There's no point in it other than pissing myself off even more.
Alrighty, gotta go eat some breakfast before Zoe wakes back up.
OH she was SO cute last night. Slept all night on her side. Her head was kinda whipped back in what looked like a very uncomfortable position, but she stayed like that until she woke at 4:30. And eating, she rolled back to that position and went back to sleep lol.

Just life
Haven't been posting as often lately b/c there really isn't too much to report on.
Zoe's sleep is still kinda screwy most nights. She's loving her solid food. Except for those Baby MumMum things. I've tried giving it to her twice now and she always ends up choking and gagging on it.
Not sure what it looks like when teeth are coming in but don't think I see or feel anything yet. Honestly I don't check that often anyway b/c she tries to eat my finger and ends up just drooling all over my hand lol.
OH! I forgot. About 3? nights ago, I had just gotten finished changing her diaper and laid her back in her crib. Somehow she got flipped on to her stomach. She wasn't crying or anything so I left her while I put the diaper in to the bin. I go to roll her on to her stomach and she rolled on to her side all by herself!
She hasn't done it again since then, but hey, it's a little bit of progress :)
Crap, telling that made me forget something else I wanted to mention. SIGH.
Anywho...
Weight is still bleh. Last time I checked I was down a pound. Sucks, but I'll take that over nothing or gaining like I have been. It's up and down up and down. I'm sure whenever I check again it will be back up to what it was :\
Let this be a lesson to you expectant moms.... don't go crazy with the food after birth b/c you may end up like this and not able to lose the extra jiggle!
While eating well has kept the bleeding from returning, it hasn't done anything for ovulation... yet I hope.
Taking an OPK and HPT once a day. Sometimes 2 if I remember to. Whole lot of nothing to report there. Same old same old.
And yep, that's about all I can remember. Gotta get to bed!
Here are some photos of some of my finished crochet projects and little miss Zoe modeling them :)
Yoda Hat pattern
Zoe is ready for that next Star Wars movie now!
Tardis Hat pattern
Zoe loves her some Doctor Who!
Actually made it for SiL :P heh
Frickin LOVE that website... Ravelry. If you knit or crochet, they have a TON of free patterns. I also made a few other things. Need to finish one, but I'll post pics when it is done.
Whenever we have another baby, I'm totally gonna be prepared with about a dozen or so newborn baby hats for newborn photos! lol And a few matching ones for big sister Zoe :D

Bleh, gag, blarg!
If DD could've made those sounds, she would've when trying avocado lol.
She was not having it! She hate maybe 2 small spoonful of it and wouldn't open up for anymore lol.
Granted it does have a kind of slight bitter taste to it.
So we're gonna mix it with some carrots.
Did that after she stopped crying (lol) and she ate that.
The carrots are really good though. They're organic and I dunno, just taste AMAZING and sweet.
DH steamed them and added the steaming liquid when pureeing. I had a little and it's really good.
BUT he couldn't get all of the chunks out of it so we're going to have to strain it and then give it to her. Oh well. Only takes a couple of minutes.
So yeah.... avocado alone... a big NO.

Newborn
DD group started posting photos of when they held or met their LOs for the first time.
Of course I'll take any excuse to post a photo of Zoe heh.
Here are a few. Not sure if I've ever posted them before...
Showing us our little alien
Nice and average :D F- You gestational diabetes! *gives it the finger* MUAHAHAHAHA
Getting up close and personal.
Thought it was DH showing her at first, but nope, that's not my DH's arms/hands... woops.
Now THIS is him showing her to me. She's so swollen and grumpy looking. Still frickin adorable though :D
Dawwwwww
Hard to believe it was only what... not even 6 months ago. Geeze.
I complain like there is no tomorrow, but I am still so grateful and amazed every day that we're parents and she is our little girl. Hell, it's still weird that I get to say things like 'my daughter' lol.
I SO want to do this all over again. Sleepless nights, walking sleep deprived zombie, baby poo, spit up.... everything.
Really hoping we'll be able to give Zoe a brother or sister. And if we're feeling up to it, maybe one more after that ;)

Oh geeze
Haven't posted in a while! For some reason, I thought I did but looks like it has been almost a week. Woops...
It's not like anything significant is going on though.
Zoe's sleep has gotten a little better. She'll sometimes sttn, but other nights she'll do her new routine of waking.
Still trying to delay feeding her for as long as possible. Hopefully she'll eventually stop wanting to eat at night.
She finished up her last prepared banana concoction last night. She is such a great eater. Opens that little mouth up, ready to gobble up some food heh.
I think since we started feeding her solids, she's gained a pound from it. She is still a slightly skinny baby, but not as much as she was before. She's gotten some baby fat going on and while it tires momma out carrying her, it's frackin adorable! hehe
DH is in the kitchen making her some more. We're gonna try her on avocado next. It's gonna be her first non-sweet solid food. Hopefully she likes it. Can't have her wanting nothing but sweet stuff.
Gave her a little taste of it after it was done and she seemed to like it. We'll see.

My body is still all sorts of screwed. No weight loss. Actually no, I was down 2lbs, FINALLY, and then right back up the next day. WTF?
I know, water weight and blahblahblah, but still... WTF?
Just so hating my body atm.
No +opk or anything. Getting annoyed, but can't say I'm too surprised.
*shrugs* I just need to learn to be patient with my body I guess (yeah right).

Zoe has been SO noisy lately lol. She is just loving all of the different sounds she can make now. It's so funny and cute listening to her.
Today, her thing was to do mini baby shrieks. They weren't too loud but I expect them to be soon enough.
She is so stinkin cute! Love her so much :)
And think that's about it.
Here is video of her laughing. Please excuse my seeming heavy breathing. It's just me trying to quiet laugh :P

WOO~
I got to sleep in this morning. Sure it was only to 9, but that was still niiiiiice.
DH was off so he got up with Zoe when she woke this morning.
He better damnit, since I was up with her a frickin ass ton last night.
She woke up at 11:30, then 12:30, then 2: 2:230 3 4 and finally 5 or 6 when I fed her.
UUUUUGH just sleep baby!!!
She was grumpy almost all day today too. Didn't help that she was pooping most of the day or trying to poop.
Think we're gonna have to start giving her juice again.
We tried bananas for the first time today. She tore it up! lol
DH pureed some w/ formula. It made this gross looking gooey stuff but she really liked it.
Her thrush is slowly clearing. The rash is kinda better. Still looks bad in spots but at least it isn't bleeding anymore. Poor girl just can't catch a break right now.
Damnit, forgot what else I wanted to say.
Anyway, here are a few photos
The amigurumi I made. YAY!
The pattern
Think the hardest part was attaching everything together. PITA!
And Zoe on Friday in her cute outfit. It's supposed to be 6m but the overalls were barely long enough.
Oh and this is her in her faux standing position. Can blame DH for that. Right after changing her DH stood her up supported by the wall and wanted me to get photos quick of her 'standing'. heh
And just a cute smile. She looks so much like DH in this photo.
Have some photos and video of her I need to get off my phone. Will try to remember to do that tomorrow.

So much for that...
Yeah no sttn last night and I doubt she will tonight.
Oh well.
Just gotta suck it up and deal with it *nodnod*
It does make me feel like I'm biting off a bit more than I can chew when it comes to wanting to try again so soon though.
Feeling SO tired all the time, it's really making me 2nd guess it.
A part of me does want to try again right away, but then another part wants to wait. Not that taking care of Zoe will get any easier though.
*shrugs*
We'll see what happens. Have to get my body working first *grumble*
Speaking of that, still no weight loss.
SiL (brother's wife) came over yesterday w/ my brother.
She's on a very similar diet except she's more carb restrictive. She's lost 13 lbs so far. That's 13lbs in less than a month which is amazing!
I'm SO happy for her. Just wish I could join in on the weight loss train though.... SIGH.
DH is looking a lot thinner now too. I can always tell when he's losing weight because he doesn't snore as much at night.
Think I'm going to eliminate dairy.... or at least a good chunk of it.
I've been craving cheese a lot lately for some reason, but gonna give it up for a while to see if it helps.
Not sure what else I could do (other then exercise) that will help. Yeah.... exercise.... been thinking about that. And while I haven't had the energy to walk in the mornings like I wanted w/ Zoe's new sleeping habits... I may just do some other stuff around the house. Of course gonna have to do it all either with her right there, or while she's sleeping though.
Oh I think Zoe is starting to get wary of strangers. Not even stranger strangers either.
When my bro and his wife visited... Zoe cried whenever she looked at my brother. It was HILARIOUS, but yikes. He couldn't even smile at her or she would burst in to tears.
She eventually got used to him being there, but she would not take her eyes off of him the entire time.
MiL and FiL came over today, and she was almost like that with them. She sees them almost weekly and you could tell that she was debating if she liked them or not lol. She eventually did warm up to them, but it took a while and a lot of playing on MiL's part.

Uh what else... OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I finally figured out how to crochet! WOOOO! I dunno, it just kinda hit me and I finally got it. *shrugs*
I'm not great at it or anything. My crochets are WAY too tight most of the time so I always have to backtrack to loosen things up, but still and newb and learning :)
Making my very first amigurumi doll. I'll post a photo of it when I'm done :)
