Just A little update...

Well, we just can't kick this sickness in our home! Lincoln got sick about 2 weeks ago, took him to the doctor and he got put on some medicine. Luckily, it wasn't bronchitis or anything serious. Then, just this past week Gabriel came down with the same thing only worse. I took him to the doctor and the poor guy had an ear infection and bronchitis. Today is the first day that he's actually feeling better. He's been waking himself up at night coughing and has had a fever. Now, I'm getting sick and Jesse doesn't feel well either. Man, can this sickness just go? 

I finally got both boys to sleep. We just started putting Lincoln in his crib this past week and let me tell you... it's been interesting. I kept him in our room a little too long so this transition hasn't gone as smoothly as I had hoped. I did some research online and saw where other moms had used the changing table wedges in the crib- to resemble the rock-n-play sleepers. We got one and VOILA! it worked! I don't know why, I don't know how... but all I know is that my little man has been sleeping in his crib the past few nights (Knock on wood!) Last night was the first full night that he slept without waking up around 4 a.m. We just might be getting somewhere... 

Funny story... Every Tuesday our town likes to test the tornado sirens. Well, today Gabe heard them and looked at me and said "Oh, that's a loud choo-choo!" hahaha. He's so funny! I can't believe he will be 3 this year! 3!! Where did the time go!? I sure wish his hair would grow back soon. 

Today, I officially started working out. Seriously. I'm exhausted. I'll probably be sore tomorrow. But I know it will be worth it. I've put off getting serious about this dieting for long enough now. I'm refusing to buy jeans until I lose more weight and I'm refusing to buy clothes. I literally have a closet full of clothes upstairs and about 3 totes in the basement full of clothes that I haven't worn since I got pregnant with Gabe. Most of them are like new. So, my goal: To fit into all those cute clothes again! Mini goal? 25 pounds by Christmas. I know, I know... that may be hard to do. But I'm confident that if I start eating better and working out everyday, I can do it. Plus, the money that I paid for the gym membership is enough to motivate me to go. Wouldn't want that money to go to waste! :)
