Kylie is PRECIOUS!!! Take time and enjoy her! She will grow up WAY TOO FAST!!

Just maintaining is really good at this stage. You have to really go with the flow.

Hang in there! Congrats on the car, too!

Hey, all! Well, not much new to report other than I had my 6 week checkup on Thurs. and everything was fine. I also had lost another couple pounds! YAY! We are done with doctors appt. until 2 weeks from tomorrow when Kylie goes for her 2 month checkup and gets her first set of shots. Can you believe she will already be 2 months in only 2 weeks?!

I got my new car and love it!!! We also have decided to go to WDW for Kylie's 1st b-day and visit my grandmother while we are there. Unfortunately Scott's mom was supposed to give us some money (long story but basically she has some money of Scott's and promised to give it to him to help pay off our loans) and has since backed out. She's really good at doing that though since she doesn't care for me! SO now we aren't sure if we will be able to save enough to go to WDW or not. Guess we'll see. We aren't giving up yet. We may just take a shorter trip if we have to. Hopefully it will all work out since it is still about 10 months away!

Tomorrow my mom, Kylie, and myself are going to Elvis Presley's birthplace. I have lived about 15 min. away from where he was born for over 10 years now and still haven't been. I couldn't care less about Elvis honestly and neither could my mom but we figured it would be good if we could tell people from other states that we have at least been there once. I have seen the outside...it is just a little shack, nothing special, but oh, well. After we leave there we are going to the buffalo park we have here so Kylie can see the buffalo, tigers, monkeys, etc. Should be fun! Have a great day everyone!

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by my journal even though I have been MIA the past few weeks! I'll try to update as briefly as I can.

July 3~ Scott, Kylie, and I went to my dad's new house an hour and a half away. It was dad's b-day. My sisters, bothers, and stepmom's parents also came. Dad has a beautiful lake that Scott and my brother (22) spent hours fishing on. It was a nice day! Dad was actually easy to get along with. I caught him feeding Kylie icecream off a spoon and she actually seemed to enjoy it! But we aren't feeding her anything but formula until she is 4 months so that was a one time thing!

July 5~ Kylie turned 2 months old and had her checkup and shots. She is now 23.5 inches long (she was 20" at birth) and 12 lbs 11 oz (she was 9 lbs 7 oz at birth) so she is really growing! She smiles constantly now and I am able to set her down more during the day but not for very long yet. She sleeps through the night most nights now. And we have discovered she loves watching Sesame Street (I did too when I was a baby.)

July 9~ Had Kylie's first professional pics made. They will be ready on the 25th. I will post them then. She was so good and smiled during the first shot which we accidentally had the photographer erase! I am still kicking myself for that but the other pics are cute so it's okay. We spent the rest of the day at Nana's (my mom's).

Other updates:

I have not lost any more weight but I haven't gained either which I consider an accomplishment! I joined the July exercise challenge Friday but was gone all weekend so I didn't do any exercising. I hope to get some time in with the treadmill later!

My brother (almost 16) is deaf and was recently approved for a cochlear implant which will give him almost normal hearing if all goes well. He goes to Memphis for his surgery on the 21st. Dh, dd, and I will be staying at my mom's house from the 20th-22nd to housesit and take care of their animals while they are in Memphis. They live an hour away so it'll be like a mini vacation for us.

I was going to take some online classes this fall but was turned down for financial aid so that's put on hold for awhile longer.

Other than all of that, we are looking forward to Kylie's 1st Christmas and then her 1st trip to WDW where she will celebrate her 1st b-day in May! We are busy these days but life is good!

Have a great day and I'll update again when I can!

Just wanted to post that I finally managed to get some exercise in today. Dh is watching Kylie right now and I managed to walk 30 min. on the treadmill. I went 1.5 miles and burned 126 calories! I feel great! I hope I can keep this up. The July challenge is really motivating me so far! Well, gotta go shower and relieve Dh!

 

[toystoryduo]

Way to go getting your exercise in Tasha! I hope you have a wonderful day today!

 

[Tasha+Scott]

I walked for another 30 min. on the treadmill today! And Kylie even let me put her in her bouncer and watched a Winnie the Pooh DVD long enough for me to get a little cleaning done. All in all today was a successful day!

ETA: I walked 1.5 miles and burned 127 calories. Thought I would keep up with this so I can calculate it all at the end of the month.

 

[Tasha+Scott]

Hey, everyone! Well, I decided to join the walking to Disney challenge. I have to walk 722.32 miles. Dh has decided to do it with me. So far I have walked 5.01 miles this week (and all together in the challenge) and dh has walked 3.0 miles. Dh has also decided to join me in the July Exercise Challenge and wants to work out for 540 min. this month. So far he has done 60/540. I am up to 100/500. I do believe I am going to make my goal!!! Anyway, I walked on the treadmill tonight for 40 min. and walked 2.01 miles and burned 168 calories! I feel great! Have a great night!

Hi Tasha!

That is great that Scott is joining you in exercising and walking to Disney! I am doing the walking to Disney challenge too, but for me, it's more of an exercising to Disney challenge. Every hour I exercise is equal to 4 miles of walking. So far, I am headed in to North Carolina (from Northeast Ohio) and I have completed 37% of my journey! It's fun!

I hope you have a wonderful day today! Take care!

Hi, Tracy! I am walking to Disney right now but if I ever do any other type of exercise (such as aerobics) then I will count that too.

Well, today Kylie and I did a lot of running around. We went grocery shopping and went to a few other places. I feel like that in itself was a workout...especially since we live in the hot and humid south! But anyway, it took a lot out of me so I didn't do as much walking on the treadmill tonight as I had planned. But I still managed to walk 20 min. at least! And I burned 84 calories and walked a mile. Scott walked 1.51 miles and burned 127 calories walking for 30 min. That brings him to 90/540 min. of exercise for July and I am at 120/500. Walking to Disney: I am now at 6.01/722.32 and Scott is at 4.51/722.32. I think we are both off to a good start! Wish us luck and motivation that we will keep at it!

 

[Tasha+Scott]

Well, I have decided to start doing my weigh ins on Fridays again. I weighed this morning and I have lost a pound!!! The exercise is definitely starting to pay off!

 

[Tasha+Scott]

We are getting ready to go to my mom's house for a few hours so I won't be able to walk or workout tonight. That's okay. I will consider today my rest day! Have a great evening everyone!

 

[toystoryduo]

Way to go Tasha!!! Hope you had a great time at your mom's house!

Have a healthy and happy weekend!

P.S. Prayers are on the way for your DH's bonus!
