27 Days Post Op

Tomorrow I return to work. I have enjoyed my time off with Shelby immensely. I am very sad about having to return now.

We never found a sitter for in our home. We have decided to put Shelby in an in-home daycare in our subdivision.

I am still only down 48 lbs. I do very well with water, and not so good with protein. I have to step up the shakes again, that will help.

I am going to be signing up for two classes at the RecPlex, Cycle and Step for Plus size. Once a week each for 15 weeks. See how that goes.

I haven't written in awhile because I was busy with interviewing childcare candidates via phone and in person. Then when that didn't work out, I was busy figuring out what to do. After that was worked out, I was trying to enjoy the remainder of my time off (two days) with Shelby. Its amazing how different things are in our relationship when I am home with her each day. She is so smart and she learns so quickly. She just needs someone to work with her.

We bought more sign language DVDs and have begun watching them. Today, I think, Shelby signed for the first time. I asked her, "Do you want to eat?" and she signed, "eat." But then when we sat down to feed her, she didn't want it. *shrug* You win some, you lose some I guess.

Wish me luck tomorrow.
