Looking for Accountability

Ok. Here we go. It has been three weeks and three days since I had our little Chasity and it is time for this momma to start working out. Slowly of course but I got to start somewhere. I started the morning with three simple exercises. Shake weight for the arms, 100 crunches, and 50 squats. That is what I will stick with for a little while. Having been pregnant for the past three years with only limited time in between and the bed rest of this last pregnancy I am not up for much more than that right this minute. We are looking to join the Y here soon. But I need somebody anybody to please help hold me accountable. Ask me if I am still working out and get on me if I am not. I have a fairly large weight loss goal and it is going to take all of the support I can get. I want and need to lose about 120 pounds! That is a crazy number but I know I can do it. I know it won't be over night as well. I ma in this for the long haul. Anybody who wants to ask me now and again to help keep me going I would greatly appreciate it!

Pictures

Ok, so I love love love pictures! That is one thing I don't think I can enough of. They bring such joy when you can look and be reminded of great memories. So, here are some new pics! There will be more of Kathryn to come! These were the ones I had ready already!

Thankful!

I am so thankful for the blessings in my life! I have the most wonderful husband the four best children i could have ever asked for. God has blessed me over and abundantly and I am so thankful!

Little one's updates!

So these are a little late getting up but we have been just a bit busy around here! I have Samuel and Sara's growth updates from the dr and Chasity's first dr stats. Here we go.


Samuel: Height is 31 1/2 inches(5%) his weight is 24.6 pounds(12%) and his head is 19 inches(50%) He is so little. These really are his 2 year old measurements. The doctor said he is little but healthy and developing very well. We did not know just how spot on calling him our little man was going to be.

Sara Grace: height 29 inches(60%) her weight is 24 pounds 12 oz.(90%) and her head 18inches(75%). she is our chunky monkey! For sure! These are her 1 year stats and her and Samuel are almost exactly the same!

Chasity of course has not changed much since birth at her first doctors visit. She is 19 1/2 inches long(50%) and she weighed 6 pounds 8 oz (25%) and her head is 13 inches(15%).

And there they are. Can't wait to see how they all continue to grow. I will have Kathryn's stats once she has her appointment in July.

A week and a half of updates

We have been home for a week and a half now and it has been a busy and wonderful week and a half. It snowed like crazy last Monday and thankfully we were home for that. Then we had to have blood work done on Chasity to check her jaundice levels. They were ok. Then we had to take all the kids into the Dr last Thursday to have checkups. Everyone is doing well! Kathryn is having continued success on her medicine. Samuel continues to be our "little man" he is so tiny. Healthy and well proportioned but little none the less. Sara Grace is still our chunky monkey. She out weighs Samuel, all be it only by 6 ounces but she is just one and he is two. And Chasity had already come up from her birth weight. The next day Samuel and Sara started in with either a cold or allergies, nothing major just some snotty noses and coughs that sounded horrible but thankfully nothing major there. Chasity then got snotty but not the same way. It was just typical newborn nose trying to adjust to all of the new smells around her. She is starting to get better but it will take time for her body to get used to all of its surroundings. Chris was off until 2 days ago when that horrible four letter word of work reared its ugly head. Oh well, I guess you gotta work. Anywho, he is off on his seven starting Friday so that will be great. Sara Grace is finally sleeping through the night so now I am getting more sleep but still am so tired. It is all good though. I love my babies!!!! I have some pictures I ordered from the hospital on the way and my friend Tracy took some pictures that I can't wait to see! I have to find a baby book now for our little girl. Everywhere I have gone they have been sold out or have stopped selling them. Go figure. Well, I guess that about sums it up for now. More later.

Home sweet baby!

Well, as you know we had our beautiful baby girl on January 7, 2011. She is so sweet! I am so glad she is home! She is so easy going and I just love her so much! I guess you could say I am in that new baby so in love stage. That bond is always so amazing! Here are her stats. She was 6lbs 7oz. 19 1/2 inches and born at 6:15pm. Here are a few pictures.They are not in order but they are cute!

37 Weeks!

37 weeks today! Made our goal of full term. Thought we were going to possibly have our little one today. I woke up to contractions at 6 am this morning but they only lasted for two and a half hours then nothing. I go to the dr tomorrow and I pray that we will be able to get this show on the road. Bed rest has been long and hard and I am so ready to feel like myself again and be a mommy to 4! We are looking forward to meeting out little Chasity. Please pray that everything will be ready to go tomorrow! I will keep everyone posted as soon as we know anything.

Our little Man is 2!!!!

Can't believe that our little man is 2 years old today! I remember him being born like it was yesterday!!!! Time sure goes by so fast. I love my little man so much! God has been so good to us and I am so thankful. We will be trying to do a joint party for Samuel and Sara Grace sometime in the middle of the month. Hopefully!!
