Anyone else get annoyed by the vague FB phishing posts??
I never noticed them before since I never was on FB much, but now that I am.... I hate that crap so damn much!!
Stop being vague in hopes of getting comments and just frickin say something.
And don't even get me started again on those guilt trip "repost this if you care" kind of things. Repost this if you REALLY care about curing cancer.
Or.. Comment if you're REALLY my friend. or.... Repost if you don't want this puppy to die!!
Just SHUT UP. And people still fall for that bullshit.
I can't even count how many times I've seen that "I want to see who my real friends are and who actually reads this so post a comment. If you don't comment, then I'll know you don't care and will delete you from my friends." And guess what... I don't post and oh look.. still friends.
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH

I think our cat just clawed Zoe's lip. Zoe started crying a little and she waddles in with blood on her lip. Poor girl. She is OBSESSED with our cat for some reason even though the cat has made it pretty clear to her a few times that he doesn't want anything to do with her :P
Also, the cat's paws are still bad. We don't think the pills we're giving him are doing anything to help. We need to find a cat specialist who knows how to treat this.
What else what else....
Zoe is spending the night w/ her granny tonight (MiL). We're going to a 2 day concert (same one we went to when I was pregnant, except now it's 2 days long), and well... Zoe has to stay somewhere. So MiL wants Zoe to spend the night a bit more to get used to being over there.
I understand that and it's a good idea, but UUUUGH, I still do not like being away from Zoe.
Yes, I like some ME time, but that's with Zoe being in the house with us. I know where she is, I know she's ok. I don't like her being away from us.
It's gotta happen though... I don't like it, but... it is what it is.

Well crap!
We thought we were doing pretty well with the eggs we were buying. Cage free (I know those chickens are probably still in a large overcrowded building but still)... healthy, blahblahblah...
that is until I saw that the chickens are being fed soy beans. WTF?
I know it's bad for people, but... it's still ok for us to eat the chickens and their eggs right?
NOPE!!
Apparently those phytoestrogens go right in to their meat and eggs.
SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGH
Why the hell is soy in frickin EVERYTHING????
So anyway, we now have to find a different one.. probably much more expensive ones.
Need to talk to DH about buying his parents more chickens and then giving them money for good quality feed that doesn't contain soy.

Any day now weather!
Guess the snow has been pushed back to about 3 now. What a let down :( Was hoping it would start and be built up a bit on the ground by the time DH got home.
Not that I would want him driving in it though.
But still, by the time it does start it's gonna be Zoe's bedtime so she won't be able to enjoy it at all. Boooo
It should stick around during the night since it's getting cold, but not sure how long it will be here tomorrow.
It really doesn't even look like it's going to snow or anything here. Just looks like a typical dreary cloudy day.
So disappointing.

Zoe is so stinkin cute, even when she's being SUPER annoying lol.
She's in the habit of throwing everything out of her crib when she wants out. So we'll go in and put everything back when we get her and will usually have trouble finding her paci. So we'll talk to her and ask "Where is it?"
She's started copying us and saying the same thing.
Sometimes it's "Is it?" and other times it sounds like she actually tries to say the "Where" part heh.

Not today
Appointment has been rescheduled since it is supposed to sleet and snow today.
I was looking forward to her appointment to get an official weigh in for her, but glad I don't have to drive in bad weather.
I hope it does snow though (so long as DH is safe coming home in it).
I love that silence it brings with it. All of that outside sound just sort of gets absorbed and it's so quiet and peaceful. Plus this will be Zoe's first look at some snow so that will be fun to see her reaction to it.
It's supposed to start around noon, but we'll see. It's cloudy out there but looks pretty calm so far.

What's that smell?? Smells like a bunch of 2014 babies!!
Just heard that someone awesome is pregnant again!! You know who you are.
A few of the women (actually a lot of them now that I think about it lol) are also pregnant in one of the groups I'm in.. wait no.. in BOTH of the groups I'm in.... 2014 is going to be filled with lots and lots of babies.
Hope I'll at least be able to join in as pregnant ^_^
It really is amazing how that first one can take SO long to make, and for some, it just sort of "fixes" them and they get pregnant super easy/quick after. Very cool and amazing how the body works.
Too bad it can't work like that for all of us :P Sigh...
Ok ok no being a Debby Downer!!
I really am happy for them all :D

Poor Zoe. Her butt is bothering her AGAIN. She must have pooped pretty early on last night and slept in it. Woke up to her in different diapers (DH changed her), and even then she had poop and the start of a baboon red behind.
And then of course she pooped again and it irritated it even more. She CRIED and cried and cried even before I touched anything b/c she knew it was going to hurt.
Feel so bad b/c there's nothing we can do to prevent it from happening.
Poor baby.
Hopefully a nice long soak in the tub will help soothe it. I'm sure it will still be irritated tomorrow at her appointment so will ask her doctor about it. Afraid she's going to tell us a layer of rash cream......
Can't use that on cloth diapers..... maybe a layer of oil would work.

Weigh in today
1 week of Primal Whole30.
Starting weight was 212.4...
Today's weight *drumroll*
206.2!!!!!
WOW! I know a lot of that is water weight, but still... that's a 6.2lb drop in a week! That's frickin Biggest Loser a few weeks in weight loss :P lol
Too bad that won't keep up but still... WOO!
That much close to being under 200 again and I can't wait!!
Also ordered more OPKs, even though I didn't need any. There was an unopened package that has been sitting in the bathroom for.. who knows how long now that had OPKs in them lol. Oops. Well, now I have more so yeah heh.
I doubt I'll be ovulating any time soon.
Even when I was down to 180, my cycles hadn't returned yet. It took some time for my body to finally regulate itself to get a couple of cycles on it's own in a decent amount of time.
I'm taking it as a good sign that I am getting a period eventually though. That's more than I would've gotten a few years ago.

Zoe has her 18m appointment tomorrow. Shouldn't be too eventful. I hate it when her doc asks about Zoe's words b/c I'm not sure what constitutes as a word.
Zoe has said a lot of stuff once or twice, but that's it. So do those count or are the ones she says on a regular basis count?
Oh well...

Feeling good :D
This is what.. day 4 of the Whole30 and I'm feeling good.
Getting hungry, BUT the cravings for sugar and junk has reduced a significant amount. Really happy about that.
I told myself I would only weigh once a week, but that may have to wait until NEXT week lol.
With that being said though, the scale is going down :D
On monday it was 212.something and today it was 209.2 :)
I know my body is letting go of a lot of bloat. These last few days have been filled with bathroom trips.
Getting woken in the middle of the night to pee is annoying, but hey.. whatever my body has to do to get healthy.
Still no exercise though. That's always been a struggle and it's even moreso now that Zoe is here taking up so much of my time and energy when she's awake. All I want to do is just relax and do a whole lot of nothing when she's napping.
Zoe is doing great. She doesn't really crawl anymore. She'll do it every once in a while, but most of the time she's up walking around. It's so cute.
Her vocabulary is coming along slowly. I think she's saying more than we understand if that makes sense.
Anyway, things are decent here. Not too bad of a start for 2014 :) Hope this year brings lots of joy and happiness for everyone.
