Party On

Well, Anias cried for nearly 5 hours straight this morning and I have a 4 day long headache (allergies?) so  this is going to be a short one! I finished up Anias' projects a few weeks ago, but forgot to post pictures so here they are. We did the same for Eli, so it's nice to keep it going. I made these modge podge collages from the daily newspaper on their birthdate and they both have quotes from this book , which ironically we don't own. I had my 6 week follow-up and am down 20 lbs, but I'm hoping to get some of that other 30 off soon. Getting a little break at the Y will be nice too. Anias: Week 5 I only woke up once at night twice this week! I'm starting to outgrow 3 month clothing, especially those pants with the feet. My feet are just too big. I accidentally rolled over on the couch this week, but mom doesn't count it because of the big dip she made on the couch cushion while she was pregnant. I'm still a smiley and happy boy, even thoug...

Well, we're doing it! There are days that are awesome and I'm blown away by how easy it all is. I get laundry done and dishes washed. I clean up, bathe, dress and feed everyone and we even get out of the house before a nice, 2 hour nap all around. Those are the all star days. Then again, there are days when Eli kicks Anias, tumbles down the stairs hitting his head repeatedly, and we all get a 5 minute nap. Days when Anias won't stop crying for hours at a time and Eli is begging me to get on the floor to play with him. Days when I'm still in pajamas from the night before, I have spit-up in my hair, and I've eaten nothing but granola bars until 5pm. There are ups and downs, as always- but that's life. I've decided to restrict my diet more for Anias' sake. Now the list of given-up foods includes: dairy, onion, garlic, tomato, lettuce, berries, stone fruit, cayenne, peas, brussel sprouts, and caffeine. I will so miss ice cream and chocolate, but I did it...
