Randomness

So I thought I would blog about myself for once... This morning as I was working out at 5:30 am I realized that my son is 7 months old and I need to get my butt back into shape. It has been a tough ordeal for me with the health conditions I developed after having Austin. I blogged about this before I think but I am officially on Thyroid medication for the rest of my life : ) Yeah me... (not really..) It is not that bad and I am EXTREMELY thankful it is not anything more serious like a heart condition. I developed Hashimotos Thyroiditis which is an auto immune disease that pretty much kills your thyroid so you in return have to take a supplement. The doctor said it could be about 6-12 more months until I get my metabolism back and am even able to lose weight! It is really hard on me to feel hopeless like every diet/workout I do really isn't doing any good (as far as the weightloss) However, being healthy is better than gaining weight because of eating a lot of junk food ; ) So here is to my new committment of 5:30 am workouts! I also am eating smaller portions and limiting sugar... I know what to do now I just need to get out there and DO IT!

February Update

So since I am known for only doing monthly updates... I decided to make this the update for February and if I can remember to update sooner I will ha.

Austin went in at the end of January and he is growing soo fast! He is about 22 lbs now and 27 1/2 inches long! He will be 7 months on the 22nd and I can't believe how quickly this is all going. I am going to be planning his 1st birthday before I know it! I am soo excited though I love being a mom more than anything in the world... he is just amazing and always puts a smile on my face!

Blake is going to be 7 on May 16th so his birthday is creeping up on us too! I can't believe how big he is getting as well... We are more than half way through 1st grade and I feel like he just started Kindergarten! He is learning how to read and is making great progress. I am so proud of him!

Jeff is working hard trying to get our business off the ground! He is amazing and we received some good new that 99% we are going to be funded within 30-45 days! It is so exciting and I feel so blessed to have such a determined husband.

The teenagers are busy with school and work and it is great to see stuff they are going through and be able to relate (since I was not long ago in their place ; ) Scott is going to school learning to be a Chef and hopes to move to San Francisco in November. Emily is finishing her Junior year in high school and loves her auto body class... the whole family is just doing great!

Here is a pic of Austin and I that Jeff took last night! We were laying on the ground having fun... I swear he is sooo close to crawling and talks AND yells alot... we love it!
