I don't have time to write today because we are headed out for vacation and I'm trying to get things finished at the office...hey, atleaste I got everything packed, loaded and the car cleaned out during lunch! My co-worker (Mrs Julie!!!) gave me this poem today. WOW! I can't believe how appropriate. It is like what my heart feels put into words. I love my sweet baby boy.

My baby boy and me
Author: Unknown

It's three am, they're all asleep, and no one is here to see.As we rock slowly back and forth, my baby boy and me.His little hand is feather light tucked up against my chin.I hold his tiny hand in mine, and stroke his baby skin.The house about us creaks and groans, the clock hands creep around.He snuggles closer to me still, and makes his baby sounds.I love these quiet hours so much, and cherish every one.Store memories up inside my heart for lonely nights to come.All too soon he'll be grown up, his need for Mama gone.But until then I still have time for kisses and for song.Time for quiet hours like this with him cuddled in my arms.Where I wish he'd always stay protected, safe and warm.And yet I know the day will come when his tiny little hand,will be bigger than my own. He'll grow to be a man.But until then he's mine to love with no one here to see.As we rock slowly back and forth, my baby boy and me.

Alright...I'm for real this time.

So, I saw a pic of me (see below) from about a year ago. It was in New York a couple months before we got preggo, right after we got married. Well, yesterday my hubby saw it and said "Wow hunny! You look so different and young!" Then I replied "It's because I'm now FAT!". Well, after a playful discussion of that's not what he meant, I realized that he really didn't mean it that way, but it was the truth! So...I sit here typing now that today I am starting a new eating habit! NO MORE SWEETS!!!!! I have been eating so much cookies, cake, and anything with lots of sugar or chocolate in it since Tommy was born! Someone told me that it's because of my hormones changing and breast feeding. I can blame it on whatever, but the results are all the same!

I had gotten back to my prepreggo weight by like 3 weeks postpartum, but I feel so bloated and like I'm gaining again! (I soooo don't believe in scales!) I didn't have any of the absolutely amazingly chocolatey fudge homemade cake the kitchen made with lunch!!!! I SO JUST OPENED MY OFFICE DRAWER AND ALMOST GRABBED SOME CHOCOLATE!!!!!!! I HAVE TO GET RID OF IT ALL!!!

Anyways, I just wanted to put this all in writing. So at 5:00 tonight, you won't find me munching on Oreo's, but hitting the track in this HOT Texas weather! LoL. But for real, it's time to get back to looking and feeling great!!!! Ah...it feels good already!
