Update

I thought it was time for a little update...

Evan started soccer last Monday, and it's been really fun. He had his first game this past Monday and has another game tonight. It's hilarious to watch all these 4 year olds chasing a ball around and not really knowing what to do with it, except if it gets by them to kick it. It's pretty fun, although it gets really hot sitting there in the middle of a field under the sun! But I guess that's all part of having kiddos in sports!

Mason's doing pretty good, he's been cracking us up lately. We took his 'binker' away last week due to his naughty behavior. We warned him, he was naughty anyways, so we took it away. He cried that night for it, but I figured that this was our opportunity to take it away, so we sucked it up and that's the end of it, and he's been great since. He's been talking A LOT more since it's been gone, and he's so funny to listen to. He holds these crazy conversations and tries so hard to explain certain things that are so important to him.

Carter's doing good, just being a baby. He has a lot of fussy moments that are sometimes very difficult to handle. I'm kind of in that phase of where I want to quit breastfeeding...he nurses all the time! I'll stick it out though, I know it's just a phase! I love having portable food that's good for him :). Plus the perk of weight loss is nice! Carter's also starting to finally develop little rolls on his thighs, yay! It's so cute, I love that baby fat.

As for myself, I've started to try to get back on track with weight watchers. I tried last week and it lasted 2 days :(. I started stress eating! Weird, huh?! ;) Well, I started again today, and I feel quite a bit more confident that I'll be able to stick to it. I love that weight watchers has a nursing plan for mommys. Brian's 10 year reunion is this fall and that is my motivation! I'm hoping I'll be able to stick it out...I can't wait to get into my shorts! And my jeans...and my regular shirts...etc!

Brian's doing pretty good except for his headache which has been bad again these past couple days. I think he needs a really long and good massage! He should get that scalp massage thing that we had at our spa retreat...he needs that! I feel so bad for him, I don't know how he functions every day. He's a tough cookie. Mmmm...cookies...

Better go, Mason woke up early from nap (stinker) and I gotta try to cut the baby's finger nails before he wakes up. Until next time...

Update

Whew, it's been a while! Life's pretty insane with 3 kids and I'm still 'attempting' to adjust! Evan and Mason are having a lot of fun with their new little brother, they've been really good! Carter's doing pretty good himself, he's been sleeping in his crib for a week now at night and he wakes up about 2 times to eat. At his 2nd night feeding though it's his awake time and he's up for an hour and a half. It's not bad at all, and I really can't complain, but the exhaustion is really starting to kick my butt! Brian's been busy at work...I'm wishing so much he could be home :(. It's so hard during the day. Oh well, such is life.

On the 'headache' front for Brian, he had a follow up with the homeopathic doctor and he's in a detox mode right now. Poor guy. He's been really good about taking his supplements and eating right, he's trying really hard to get rid of his headache. He's noticed he's been better which is a HUGE improvement. We are really crossing our fingers this detox thing works! It's a 25 day detox and he started 2 days ago. Let's hope it works.

Well I guess that's about it for now. My 2 year old just woke up from nap and he's mad about something. Figures. He's always whiney and cranky...just like his Mommy ;-).
