I can't stop looking at the pictures I posted earlier. I love them SO much. My girls are gorgeous, my son is totally beautiful and my man is fucking hot as hell (if I do say so myself lol).
I am feeling very very grateful today for the many blessings in my life. As much as I bitch and complain in moments of frustration, I really couldn't ask for a better partner or better kids.
I'm feeling especially grateful for Jesse today...maybe it's because I have gotten a full week of him home (which never happens!), or maybe it's because he has made me feel totally gorgeous today, but whatever it is...I am one lucky woman. I could not ask for a more supportive, loving, accepting partner. He makes me so proud...proud to have him as my children's father, proud to have him as my life partner, proud to stand by his side as he grows and develops into a really amazing, wonderful man. For all the things that drive me batty about him, there are probably at least 2 more that make me fall in love with him over and over again.
Ok, enough gushing about my fabulous choice in the male species LOL!
I got a call from a childhood friend a few weeks ago. She and I share the same name, lived next door to each other for most of my childhood and were often mistaken for sisters growing up. We still talk to each other occasionally, but life is busy so we don't chat nearly as much as we used to.
Anyways, she called to tell me that her and her fiance have finally set a date for their wedding!! June 7, 2008 :) AND...she asked me to be her maid of honour. I've never been in a wedding before (ok, not true...when my mom got married to her dh I was in the wedding, but that's a little different lol). Sooooo...big incentive for me to get into shape before next June. And I know, I know...I just gave birth a week ago...give myself some time to rest and recoup before setting my sights on weight loss and whatnot. I promise I won't start running right away ;) That's a couple months away still, especially with a nursing babe.
Something I am going to work on in the meantime, though, is getting my eating back on track. Specifically, sugar. Surprise surprise lol I've been really bad about junky food, ice cream especially, and it must cease!! So, back on the no-sugar wagon for me. This should be interesting, coupled with some freaky postpartum hormones...
The little man just woke up with a poopy butt and an empty tummy, so I must sign off for now! Goodnight~

Hey Crystal~
My little man is 8 months old now, so I have no REAL excuse for not being out there running, exercising, eating right, etc...
The kids, laundry, dishes, computer, ANYTHING comes first. HA! You need to help inspire me to do better! You can be my online diet/exercise buddy!! I am pretty close to my pre-baby weight now, but NO TONE! In fact, I always gush that Riok looks just like me! He got my thighs & my tummy..LOL! Besides, I'm gonna need some strength and stamina to help other mamas birth!
