Goodbye for now....

yep, I am taking a break from blogging. I know I do have some followers but I just can't seem to keep it up. So, I am going to be working on a family website that I will update once a month with pictures, videos, etc. So, if you would like to be included in receiving the web updates, send me an email and I will add you to the distribution list.

Goodbye for now.

It's On...

a majority of women would gasp if they were asked the following question:

"What do you weigh?"

GASP! Well I am going to answer it as today is the start of my after baby weightloss journey. I, Carebear, weigh 233.2 lbs. Luckily I have height on my side (5'11) and my body carries it better than others.

My goals for this week:

**Walk at least 30 minutes everyday
**Drink water - this one gets me everytime
**Eat fruit and veggies

Wish me luck!!

This Makes Me Smile

Checked out the OC Fair with our newphews and DDT. We rode on lots of rides and had lots of yummy treats which included deep fried snickers and reeses. We also had a taste of fried frog legs.

Our Family...

is complete.

We welcomed Samuel James Hill (aka Squeaker/Toots) on June 11th at 11:42 am. He weighed in at 7 lbs 7 oz and was 18 inches long. I had a scheduled C-section and have recovered quite well.

DDT has been adjusting well and loves to give his brother kisses/hugs. My awesome husband has been amazing as well. Since I am strictly pumping and bottlefeeding, Panda can help out with the feedings. Luckily with Panda's job he was able to take lots of time off to help out. He doesn't have to be back to work until August 5th!!

Engine 1 stopped by to wish me luck -

I Live For This....



After looking back over videos of DDT, I realize that I live for

smiles, laughter and unconditional love.
