Forgot to post yesterday! Oops...
So, no exercise. I went and visited my mom for a while and just honestly didn't feel like doing anything when I got back home.
Rest days are Sunday, but I'll count yesterday as it and just exercise like I should.
____
Zoe is well. She always has this cough though. It's not like a chesty cough or anything. I'd say it's more like just a random hair/tickle in your throat type. But she does it a lot. Not a lot a lot that I think she's getting a cold, but still makes me a little concerned why.
She spit up ALL over my yesterday. BLEH! It's the first time she's spit up like that in a long time. Gross though.
____
OMG... So I always thought FiL would be the one we'd have to worry about giving Zoe something bad.
NOPE, that would be my mom.
We were all on her floor, playing with Zoe, when my mom got up and started giggling like a school girl.
She went and grabbed a bag of gummy lifesavers, pulled one out and then gave one to Zoe (she was still holding it).
I was laughing but mostly b/c it was SO unexpected.
Zoe licked it a few times and of course frickin LOVED it lol.
She didn't let her but lick it a few times, but still... WTH is it with grandparents wanting to give baby's crap?? SIGH!

Day 2
Did some strength stuff today.
Not sure how affective it all is though since I always have to stop to check on Zoe, but I did something at least. Has to be better than nothing.
I did squats, lifted light weights, wall pushups and hopped around to some music like an idiot hehe.
It was good though. Felt that burn.
Taking it easy to start with since I am so out of shape, but next week, I really need to step it up... A LOT. What I'm doing now is bare minimum.
____
Zoe's sleep has been a lot better.
She'll sometimes wake during the night, but it's her usual still asleep sort of cry and a pacifier solves it.
I have been getting up to give her her pacifier again. If she cries again (which has only happened once), then let her cry a little then go in a soothe her if she needs it.
But so far so good.
She actually slept in a bit later today. She usually wakes around 6am, but today she woke at 6:40 :D YAY!
It's crazy how excited you get for those extra minutes of sleep! ROFL
She is producing some tears now lol.
Thought she was before, but guess not? *shrugs*
It's def real now though. It's not full on tearful crying, but she'll have that glisten on the sides of her eyes.
Her poor booty is so red and raw. SIGH! Not sure what to do to keep it from happening again and again. We already use sensitive wipes, but I guess it must just be the rubbing that causes the problem. *shrugs*

Day One
So, today is day one and it's going well.
Did Just Dance for about 40mins. My first time playing it so yeah.. to say I wasn't any good is an understatement lol. I just hve no coordination :P
I would've played longer, but Zoe started to fuss. Life of Mommy I guess.
It's fun though and I'll do it again on Wed when I do cardio stuff again. Tomorrow is strength training stuff.
I'm SO out of shape but I gotta stick with this. Sigh.. I've said this all before, but hopefully this time I'll actually stick with it.
Would really love to be 10lbs lighter by the end of March.
And I managed to get a little bit of juice out of the dying battery in the scale and weighed myself. Not good! What I feared was correct.... almost 20lbs to get back under 200 again :( Damnit, why can't losing the weight be just as easy as gaining it???
I NEED to lose this weight if we're ever going to have more kids. Fat is my infertility and it needs to be addressed and corrected already.
I can't just keep sitting here hoping something will happen while I do nothing. While I would rather be doing anything other than exercising, I gotta do it. I want Zoe to have siblings and welp.... mommy needs to get her fat ass up and start working on it harder!!
____
Speaking of siblings.... I've been thinking about it a lot, and I think after we have 1, maybe 2 more. Depending on our financial situation and how we're feeling. I think I would like to adopt. I say this now, but who knows how I'll feel in the future about it.
*shrugs*
Before having Zoe, I was really on the fence about adoption. Would I be able to love a child that didn't come from me or DH?
Thinking about it now though.... I think I would and there are so many kids out there that need loving homes. We'll see what happens. This won't be for a long long time though but just something to think about in the meantime.

Tomorrow!
First up...
Poor Zoe could not get in a good nap today. My poor baby kept getting woken up since we came home from grocery shopping at 10:30 this morning.
In total, she probably only got maybe 30mins of nap time.
She got SUPER grumpy starting around 3pm and would not stay settled unless I sat next to her on the floor while she sucked on her pacifier and played with whatever toy she could reach lol. I didn't mind but my back sure did! hehe
I fed her some peas at 5:30, turned her towards the fish tank to keep her from fussing while I checked on dinner and washed dishes so I could give her a bath.
Everything was great. Washed the dishes, got all of her bath stuff ready, went to go get her...
Aww, look.. she loves those fish!
( the fish aren't swimming in a soup of algae, I swear lol.)
Wait.... awww, no. She just completely zonked out after eating.
I felt so bad having to wake her up lol. She had to get a bath and a bottle though.
She was ok being woken up, I gave her a nice warm bath (which she absolutely loves!), and a bottle, got her ready for bed after that and she went right to sleep.
Anywho, my sweet little baby girl. Love her so much!
____
So tomorrow is the day we start back on a healthier path.
We went completely crazy this weekend with the cheat food and good lord. We feel like CRAP. Upset stomachs, TERRIBLE gas that makes your nose burn lol, just an overall BLAH feeling.
We are not doing that again.
Anyway, DH made us both charts that has what we're doing on what days and leaves a space for us to write down what we did.
I'm gonna try out my new game tomorrow :D He set the Wii back up in the living room and I'm ready to get stupid!
Thank goodness it's only Zoe here to witness my spaztic moves. Hopefully she doesn't get distressed b/c she thinks I'm hurt or anything :P ROFL
Our scale battery is dead so can't weigh myself. Haven't weighed myself in a week or 2. Can't remember.
Kinda scared to do it actually b/c I know I've gained A LOT of weight back. I probably need to lose 20lbs just to get back to below 200 again.
We'll see what it is as soon as we get another battery.
I would really like to be down at least 10 lbs before the wedding at the beginning of April that we're going to. I know that's a pretty big goal though. Especially with how my body is trying to hold on to all of this jiggly fat.
Just gotta do my best and hope that I'll start losing something :)
____
Ok, so..... does anyone cosleep? Not the baby is in the room, but cosleep as in bedsharing?
Now, I can understand why parents would want to do this while the baby is still a baby. Easier to soothe etc etc.
It's not something for DH and I b/c we like our space and I just think it's dangerous, but whatever floats other people's boats... do it.
Anyway.....
It makes me wonder though when I read these moms SO proud of cosleeping when their children are much older. Like 2, 3, 4+ years old.
WTF? I dunno, but I can't imagine that a husband would be happy with that arrangement?
A child coming in to sleep with you every once in a while, sure, that's totally fine and Im sure all kids do it, but... doing that every night??
Like I said, to each their own, but MAN, I can't imagine! lol

Did I forget??
Zoe was developing a rash not too long ago b/c of pooing a lot. The poo with the constant wiping was causing her poor little booty cheeks to get all raw and red.
She had just gotten over her last rash/thrush not that long ago and both DH and I REALLY didn't want to have to go out and get disposables again. Nothing wrong with disposables, but we were feeling like that's all we were using after having to use them for I think 2weeks, give or a take a day.
Anywho, read online about rash creams that are OK to use with cloth diapers. Was thinking about getting some, but then I came across lots of CD moms saying they use coconut oil or olive oil on their baby when they get a rash.
Went out and bought olive oil (we usually have some but had run out), used it on her little butt (cotton ball dipped in it, then dabbed on the raw spots), and well... it worked.
It probably didn't heal the rash as quickly as a cream that has medicine or something in it, but it did help it. I think it healed up in a few days, maybe 3 or so. AND it didn't mess up the absorbancy of the diapers which was my concern.
I was paranoid and did an extra "stripping" wash. Just basically washed the clean & dried diapers again w/ some color safe bleach, and haven't had any problems with them leaking b/c of the oil.
So... WOOO! lol
Love cloth diapers!! Just wish we could finally use the larger ones!! While I do absolutely LOVE the Pure and Natural kawaii ones, it would just be nice to have a wider variety to use.... and not panicking b/c there are only 1 or 2 of those clean lol.
DD just doesn't have those chunk thighs so she leaks at the leg holes. Might try her in some tomorrow. See how it goes, but I'm sure we'll be dealing with a leak or 10.

Well little Miss Fussy Face!
Boy, Zoe was just not having any of it today! Hardly any smiles for me until DH got home lol.
She always smiles more if you're not the one holding her. *shrugs*
She has terrible naps today too but that wasn't so bad.
She went right to bed b/c of it though so WOOT!
Oh and last night... not a single peep out of her the entire night!! YAY! She woke up at 6am which still kinda sucks, but I'll take that over waking multiple times any day!
FX that she sleeps well again tonight :D
____
I've been stuffing my face with as much junk food as I've been craving. And damnit, I do not feel guilty about it at all!!
Probably shouldn't be doing it, but meh. I'm getting back on the healthy train on Sunday.... until then, I'll have fun being bad MUAHAHA.

Oh winter
I love the cold weather!!
Nevermind that it gives you the oppurtunity to get all warm and snuggly.
I love that I don't have to put a bra on when I go out! MUAHAHAHAHA!
Wearing a thick jacket is enough to hide the fact that the twins are hanging free.
Yes... notice I said hanging and not bouncing.... SIGH
