Virginia Snow Day; Just another Weekend

Hi my Darlings

If you watched the national weather you would have noticed that Virginia was hit with a Virginia snow storm. Now I'm originally from Michigan so VA snow storms are just a dusting in my eyes. Thursday people were out buying milk and bread; when ever there is a "snow storm" people will go to the stores and buy all the milk and bread they can. I don't get it I really don't, and a question that has plagued me since I was stationed in VA was "Where the hell did people learn to drive?!" Whenever there is a little rain or god forbid SNOW, people will slow down about 20 under the speed limit on the free way. 

Any way last year when we were in PA Q man wasn't big enough to enjoy snow (plus he was barley crawling) so I was EXCITED for our little 2 inches we got here last night. I took the little man out last night after I scoured the house looking for some gloves for his little fingers. He had such a blast playing out in the snow and throwing snow balls at the dogs he didn't want to come in. His nose and cheeks were rosy. So I promised him that if there was still snow on Friday that he could go out after his nap. And when we woke up today the snow was still there but melting. Like I promised after his nap I got him all bundled up and we went outside, there wasn't as much snow this time after playing in it yesterday but he still had some fun, and actually it was his choice to come in this time. Of course after all our playing in the snow he got to have a special drink, hot cocoa from the Keurig. 

I hope you enjoy your weekend.

I Made it Another Year; or Still in the Grieving Process

Hi my Darlings,

  Well well here I sit looking back, back to when I was in the hospital NICU praying Laken would come out safe and that she wouldn't be in pain any longer. While I didn't exactly get what I wanted I did. I know she is safe and is no longer in pain, she's just not earth bound. Its been three years since that long drive home what was 20 minutes felt like days. And I still find myself crying myself to sleep and breaking down at random moments. I have been seeing a Psychologist to help with the depression and the awful nightmares, and trying to prepare for when David has to go on deployment and I won't be able to talk to him every day or to be able to hug him for 7+ months. Im tired of feeling broken all the time and not enjoying the things I used to as much.

On to some happier news before I make myself cry again. It is just about that time of year to start planning a 2nd birthday party. This year we aren't doing his party until David comes back from his school, so it will probably be around June and if thats the case we are going to combine Q and D's and start the day off with Q's birthday party and switch to an adult party later in the evening for D. I have to start looking for bike ideas for my little mister, he LOVES bikes and cars and anything with wheels. If you have seen my pinterest you pretty much know the theme of his party this year (Cars- the movie) he loves McQueen, he has a die-cast McQueen that he takes everywhere even in the bath and to bed. With his love of Cars I could probably recite the whole 2nd movie with as much as we watch it in a day. My poor bud he is teething his 2 year molars and those are a (excuse my language) Bitch. I think terrible two's stem from the molars; when they are hurting him something fierce he is a little pistol. I just wish that those teeth would come in soon and quit playing peekaboo already. Knock on wood but he hasn't gotten the bad flu and I attribute that to his love of oranges. If I would let him he that would be all he would eat. So no lack of Vit C with him.

DIY craft Felt board (Turkey)

So here we are at the holidays again.... where has time gone. I should have an almost 3 year old and I have a 21 month old.

So in the spirit of the holidays and having a busy toddler I made a felt board for my little man. This cheap DIY board is a big hit with my busy guy. I did a vlog while making it and you can find it here.
Felt Turkey  Also later this week I will be making a christmas tree and other fun crafts i will put up tutorials and/ or vlogs.

Getting to HOT MOM status!

So I'm about to tell you my weight i wish I didn't have to but doing it will help me keep going to strive to lose weight.

On day 1 I was 171.6# today I am 172.6
Yes I know thats a gain but on this diet there is 2 load up on fat and eat everything you want, before you go to eating only 500 calories a day.

I know to some that my seem unhealthy but if done correctly its healthy.

HCG diet  <-- click

Without going into a big explanation on what and how you can do this i just want to say that this "resets" your hippocampus and metabolism. If you were to try and just limit yourself to 500 calories and not take the hCG drops you would harm yourself. to read up and do some research you can just click the link above.

So here I am my first day just about done and can say I don't feel hungry. Its really to early to see any change but hopefully tomorrow morning I see a decrease on the scale.

Christmas yet again

So here we are Christmas/Laken's birthday. I shed tears because it's been 2 years since I was in the hospital getting the news that our little girl was going to need to be delivered 3 months early to try and save both of us. (Stupid preeclampsia and HELLP). Even though two years have passed I'm still quite bitter and the lack of care that I was given early in my pregnancy with her.
