I've started a few different posts over the past few weeks, but by the time I get around to posting them, all the information is outdated and I don't feel like updating. Pretty much our life has revolved around weight gain, or the lack thereof. To make a really long story short, the lil' guy is still not gaining weight and still puking all the time. Fun times.

I warned the hubby before church that we would be taking Easter pictures, so he needed to stay in his suit after church. Well, those plans quickly changed before we even got home from church. Lil' guy decided it would be fun to puke all over dad's nice spring suit. He soaked him twice at church, and when I say soaked, I mean puke from head to toe. Then we got home and I thought we'd take one without the puke soaked suit coat, well just when I was getting the camera ready, the baby threw up all over his white shirt and tie. Pretty much everything that he wore to church yesterday is now going to the dry cleaner.

I pulled out my spring/summer clothes, which makes me happy. Why? Because I have a terrible winter wardrobe. My summer wardrobe is much, much better. I stocked up on clothes before we got married. I was living the single life, and working full time, so I could, and boy am I glad that I did. H&M, TJ Maxx, and Anthropologie were good to me. I miss our relationship dearly.


Yesterday was a momentous and sad day for me. Momentous because I didn't eat one piece of chocolate candy this Easter and sad because I didn't eat one piece of chocolate, or the homemade rolls at my Aunt's house, or the carrots that had butter on them. Dang, this diet stinks. I've lost some weight though, so I'll look at the positive. It will have been three weeks tomorrow, and I can't wait to say bye bye to the no dairy, no soy thing. If you're wondering, I haven't seen one bit of difference.

This is my niece. She is the funniest person I've ever met. I love this girl, and I'd love for her to come hang out with me this summer for a week. We'll see if I can talk her mom into it.

The construction is finally almost over, and I couldn't be happier to have my house back. It looks really nice too, and we didn't have to pay for any of it. Ahhhh, the joys of renting from a doctor.
I'm really contemplating throwing out the nicknames I've been using to hide my families identity. It's really annoying to have to come up with a nickname each time. What do you think? Has anyone ever had a real problem with this? I don't ever say where we live, etc, and I'm pretty sure nobody would want to drive clear out where we live to find us anyways.

Oh Boy!

No, we haven't fallen off the face of the earth, but the last few weeks have been a whirlwhind. I feel like me and the little guy have been at the doctor's office or hospital almost every day. We've been trying to get control (not sure if that's possible) of his GERD, and it's consuming all our time and energy. A few weeks ago we went to see the in-law's and came home with the flu and cold bug. Had to take Lil' Chief to the hospital with a high fever that wouldn't break and found out he was still losing weight, so we've been monitoring that, and it just kept dropping. His pediatrican scheduled us to go over to Children's and instead of an appointment, they wanted to admit him to the hospital. So, we just returned from a couple of days over there and can now count our many blessings that we have such a healthy baby compared to all the other kids over there. I now have to take dairy and soy completely out of my diet....oh joy. They think he has GERD, accompanied by a dairy and possibly soy allergy. At this age there is no real accurate test except to have the nursing mom go off of it. The only problem is, I LOVE dairy. I'll look at the positive side and hope that it helps me shed my post baby weight.

My apologies to all those who have called or emailed and I haven't gotten back to you....we've been busy. We came back home to find our house is UNDER CONSTRUCTION. The people we are renting from decided to remodel the downstairs. It's going to look amazing when they are all done, but in the meantine me and the baby are confined to the back room while the crews are in the front of the house.

I know this post is lame, but my creative juices have been zapped for now. Here are some pics of the past few weeks.
