Strange Dreams
This past week, I've been having very vivid dreams. I love dreaming... but its also a good sign to me, that I'm actually getting some good sleep.
Last night, I dreamt I was at a beach with my sister, Cherie and Ursula... there were more of us, but that's all I remember were there for sure. I was also fishing (something I've only done once in IRL). I had caught a large fish but then had caught a small alligator... I put him back. I was in a 2 piece bathing suit but had a cover-up on. I was in better shape in my dream than I am IRL, but I was still self-conscious.
The other night, I dreamt that the planets were crashing into each other. Only the Earth and Sun remained. I was watching as an observer... either watching a movie or from space, not sure. The night after that, I dreamt I was talking to human-looking aliens. They were living on Earth just like we are.
There were other dreams in the mix... I'll include them as I remember them :D I like recording my dreams. Its interesting to me... and plus, I'd like to see if there's any truth or insight to them.

Today's Calista's 7th Birthday!
We stayed last night at Angele's. Aimee and her family were all still there and so was Racquelle. They all sang Happy Birthday to her this morning :D
We gave her a little impromptu birthday party Sunday night (we were supposed to go home that day). Aimee brought lots of stuff for all of the kids :D Pretty nice of her :D
Funniest thing was Jared dressing up in a Wolverine costume! But funnier than that, he had it on BACKWARDS!!! LMFAO!
Earlier, I went to Dr. Nick, chiropractor! MAN! That was great! I hadn't been since Calista was a tiny baby! I sooo needed it!

As you can see from the posts below, I was bored... I am up with Wyatt... this seems to be the time he wants to be awake... from like 11:30 to 1:00 am, every night, almost.
So, I did some quizzes.
Now, it looks like he's ready to go to bed... finally... at least I get to sleep in tomorrow morning! woohoo! Watch though, Ursula will wake us up :D lol she loves doing that.

My 3 Kids @ 6 weeks old
Calista's in yellow, Wyatt's in the plaid shirt and Ursula's the other one :D
Calista looks the most different but that could be partly from her being so skinny at that time! She was so tiny!
And it looks like Ursula's the chunkiest at 6 weeks old! Look at her face, her cheeks! hehehe
So, anyone has any comments? Who looks like who? Or if they don't even look like siblings? Or what?

Time to Lose Weight!
Six weeks have passed and here I am, finished my first one mile walk of the year! I just need to keep doing this daily (as long as there's no rain!) along with working out and I should be a good weight and size in no time :D lol
Wyatt slept the whole time and Ursula chattered the whole time! hehehe
Now all that's left is to do the work-out in the back room. I'm waiting for Wyatt to fall asleep.
.... just 50 lbs to go...
Finally Finished #5
I just love alliteration... LOL
Anyways, after having it on my bookshelf for, what? Two years? I finally decided to read Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. I finished last night. Now, I can't wait to read the next one! lol

Pumping Success
I just used my sister's breast pump for the first time today and got 4 oz really fast! woohoo!
I have a Gerber slow flow nipple, one of those wide ones that are intended to imitate a real nipple.
So, I tested it. I put my milk in a bottle, boiled the nipples, put one on it. Gave Wyatt to Jeremy along with the bottle. Took a little bit for Wyatt to 'get' it... he sucked on it for a little bit... didn't even drink an ounce. And was turning his head away. And as of right now, is nursing on me... LOL
However, we're going to keep trying because Jeremy and I need at least one night a month to ourselves... at some point... some point soon. A 'night' doesn't mean a whole night as in all the kids sleeping elsewhere... a 'night' as in us going to dinner or something like that and picking up at least Wyatt (if the girls want to sleep over, that's fine).
Ursula keeps taking the bottle. She keeps trying to give it to him and I keep telling her that he doesn't want it. I told her that if Wyatt doesn't want it, I will give it to her. She's happy with that.

Weight Loss Update
Well, today I'm wearing a size 10 pair of stretch jeans... getting better...
I still have much more to go... but, its a start :)
Pardon my ill-fitting bra... I didn't have it set up right... like clicking the opening back... I always forget about checking that.
And of course, that's my little precious son, Wyatt... 5 weeks 1 day old today :)
Things Are Looking Up
Jeremy told me Monday that his plans for work were to NOT miss any more days of work (with the exeptions of dr. appointments) and to become a foreman! WOW! Aspirations!!! Imagine that! I was very pleased to hear that. Funny thing is that just that morning, I had calculated how much Jeremy could bring home if he actually worked all the days he's supposed to. Yep... it would be so very nice if he'd actually work at least ONE FULL WEEK a month... According to my calculations, he'd bring home double the amount in one year then he had EVER... now... if only he keeps his word and go to work.
You're probably thinking 'how does he keep his job if he doesn't go to work?' Well, the thing is is that Jeremy has made himself very valuable there. He does all the different types of welding and fixes things there that needs to be fixed (that's up and beyond what he's supposed to be doing there and getting paid for). Also, he's getting paid as a contractor. The other guys at work are kind of jealous of him because he doesn't get sent home when he misses days of work.
Do you want to know how much J's work likes him? When he took off that week I had the baby (Wyatt), his company ended up paying him for 40 hrs of work!!! Isn't that awesome? That was never even discussed prior to me having the baby! A complete surprise to both of us.
Change of subject...
I have less than one week left to my leisurely life... (big HA HA)... meaning, next Tuesday, I'll be 6 weeks postpardum... and time to get my body into shape!!! I'm going to have to get the infant seat out of the car so that I can go walking with my 2 young ones; strolling them in my awesome tandem stroller :)
Along with walking daily (providing the weather accomodates me), I'll be utilizing the workout machine in the back room. Thankfully, my sister, Cherie helped me clean it out last weekend and even though there's still stuff back there (like the kids' toys), there's plenty of room for me to use the SoloFlex. In fact, I'm thinking of maybe starting today on it... I can't wait to be small again!!! This belly flab is disgusting! I hate feeling my skin touching itself around my back mid section when I stand up! I don't know how anyone tolerates that!
I'm so thankful that Wyatt is such a good baby! He's so easy (knocking on some major wood here).
