It feels good to be back into almost a normal routine now. I mean, some days it’s going to shift some, but for the most part Riley has been doing really well with sleeping through the night. Dave is away last night and today, so I am solo momming it right now. My body naturally woke up at 3:30 this morning. Riley was still asleep, so I figured I’d might as well just get up and get my day going. Of course, at 4, she woke up 😆 but that’s okay! Because I knew she would. I checked on David, and sadly he had an accident at some point. Got him up to get changed and to change his sheets. He does so well now over nights, but we still have some accidents. And so, at about 4:40, I was able to get my workout in. I know I didn’t put my entire all into it. And that’s mostly bc I have my period. The second one since Riley was born. And ugh, doesn’t suck! I swear the flow is so much worse than it was ever before. And I’ve been getting mild cramps. I have my annual gyno appt next month and I’m considering talking to her about options to get rid of it. lol I’m not opposed to it since we are completely done any kids. And I have no desire to go on birth control bc I don’t want it to mess with my hormones and the possibility of weight gain. So we shall see. Anyways, happy Friday! Make today awesome!

Sat for most of the afternoon at the hospital with my dad. Still managed 8,600+ steps but I have to wonder how much more I could have had if I didn’t even sit for almost all of the 3.5 hours. He’s got to stay another night now because he woke up today ready to be discharged and then his heart started acting up (same thing happened a year ago when he had pneumonia). It seems a little less stressful than last time but still isn’t settling. Just trying to stay focused on the fact that he’s in the safest place to be right now while this is going on and stay positive

It’s only Tuesday! Feels like it should be Wednesday or even Friday already! Riley woke up around 2:30, and by the time she was back to sleep, it was just after 3, so I figured I’d get changed and do my workout. I didn’t really have any plans to do it today, but why not? Glad I did. As I was getting dressed this morning, we got a notice that my son’s school was on a 2-hr delay… and the roads are just wet. So it put a damper on things, so say the least lol both my husband and I are working from home to get him on the bus and to take care of the little girl. It’s been a fun few hours. Haha

Okay, time passes and I forget to post in here! Life has been busy with work and raising two kids. David is.. well a 7 yr old boy. lol Riley is doing well. Sleep well and starting to really try to talk and just wants to be able to do something. She definitely teething! Hoping she keeps with the timeline of her brother and she will have a tooth at 4 months.. we shall see. Had my follow up appt last week with my weight management Dr. we laughed, as my last appt with him was only a few weeks before I found out I was pregnant. But, he said my weight gain wasn’t horrible. We talked about a few of the glp-1s and what would be my best option. But, since insurance doesn’t cover these meds right now, those will be put to the side. So I am back on Phentermine and hopeful to have a good success with that like I did previously. I follow up again in a few months and go from there. Starting to get pretty consistent and on a schedule with workouts! It feels good to be back.

Almost the weekend! Was able to get a workout in this morning again! I woke up a little early, so figured I’d hammer it out really quick. As soon as I finished, I heard Riley start fussing and waking up. Perfect timing!
