I'm sorry I haven't reported in. Life is crazy with trying to get ready for Shelby's BIG 1ST birthday party! Who'd have thought an Elmo themed party would be so much fun to plan! Then there is the house to clean - which is hard with a 1 year old in tow. I am learning that I have to be more flexible with some of my standards.
The cake is ordered, the food is ordered, grocery shopping has been done. I have to finish up the goody bags for the kids, a photo project of Shelby, I need more plates (in Elmos orange nose color of course), I have to iron the guest of honors adorable dress and make sure she has shoes to wear, and lots of other details. I sure hope someone will help with pictures, I dont want to miss this while I am busy in the kitchen or what not.
Tomorrow is her actual birthday. DJ, Shelby and I are going to celebrate with pizza and a little cake. We will try to go over to the park if it isnt raining. Then we have to do last minute things for the party. I am excited my little pudding pop is turning a year old especially when I see how much she has learned and grown (remember our little preemie of 4 lbs?). But I am also sad too. Its another year closer to when she will be all grown up and not need me anymore. It went by so fast and I wish I hadn't lost those pictures. I wish I had more time to spend with her, teaching her. I wish I hadn't been such a clean freak and let her feed herself. I wish that her HAIR WOULD GROW! Why dont we have any hair?????
But I certainly am proud of her. She is friendly, sociable, smart, clever, happy, funny, and just a wonderful little person to have in my life. I am the luckiest person on earth, for sure. DJ is very hands on, and truly LOVES spending time with her, doing things with her, and doesn't even think about or mind that he is on diaper duty, or feeding duty. A lot of fathers are hands off, but DJ is all HANDS ON! I love him more because of it. Shelby, hopefully one day, will realize just how lucky she is to have him as her father.
Weight Loss
*sigh* I am at 55 lbs. Its just not coming off as fast as it was and it is quite disappointing. I am told that if you dont get your protein in, it wont come off as fast because your body attacks your muscle instead. But I am also told that other people do not have to take in 80 grams or more of protein, they are supposed to intake 60 or so. If thats the case, most days I am making my protein intake then! I dont understand.
Food gets stuck and by the afternoon I have intense intestinal pains. I dont know why, but I am sure I am doing something wrong. Will have to look into this more after Shelbys party.

Happy 1st Birthday to Shelby! Hope the party went well.
Keep your head up on the weight loss. It never happens as fast as we want it to. But always remember that if it took a long to get it, it'll take a long time to lose it.
