Tasha's Post Baby Journal (Comments of course welcome!)

[eeyore25]

You have a very beautiful baby. She is gorgeous. And I love her face in those pictures!!!!

How is your day going?

 

[Tasha+Scott]

Thanks, eeyore! Yes, she does have a very expressive face! Some of the looks she gives us just crack us up! As for me, I woke up with a sore throat but was okay other than that. The temp. outside has been 111 w/the heat index and the electricity flickered off for a few min. again today! On top of that by this evening I felt really lousy. I think maybe I am getting a sinus infection due to this sudden heat wave. I felt too miserable to get any exercise in which is disappointing b/c if I don't feel better soon I won't make my July exercise goal! I am not beating myself up over it though b/c I know it's more important that I get to feeling better so I can take care of Kylie. I will get to journals tomorrow if I feel better. I am going to get some much needed rest now! Night!

You are doing so well.

Lovely piccie of Kylie.

 

[lillygator]

What a cutie!! I desperately need to get Haley in to get her pics done - she had them done at 2 months and I haven't been back and she is almost 6 months!! Hope your electricity is back to normal!

 

[toystoryduo]

Tasha,

Those pictures of Kylie are adorable! She is such a cutie!

How are you feeling today? The heat wave is over here in Ohio. Is it over for you too?

I hope you have a great day Tasha! Feel better soon!

lillygator~ I had these pictures of Kylie taken at 2 months and don't plan to have more made until she is around 6 months b/c that will be in Nov. and close enough to Christmas. I want to add her pic to my Christmas cards this year.

Well, I woke up the same way I did yesterday w/ a sore throat. Other than that I feel okay and I took some Dayquil. I am worried today will go like yesterday and I will feel terrible by this evening. I always feel worse in the evenings when I am sick for some reason. Hopefully I won't feel too bad and can get some exercise in. I'll update later if I do.

I think the heatwave is over for now. It's back to the lower to mid 90s here, which is certainly better than the 105 degrees (111 w/the heat index) we had the past few days. It is supposed to rain for the next few days and cool things off some. So far no sign of rain yet though. Our weatherman only gets the rain part right about 40% of the time though.

Still no word about dh's bonus. His boss keeps saying he'll find out but I think he mainly blows dh off. Guess we'll find out eventually!

such control you have! (WITH PICS I MEAN) LOL...when my kids were babies i had their pics taken 1 time per/month for the first 12 mo in a studio...then the second year 1 time per/3 months....til age of 2, then 2 times a year, and now I still get their school pic each year, plus have pics made at least once a year....i'm a PSYCHO when it comes to pics of my kids! lol...my husband swears I just loved to spend money, not so, i'm actually quite frugal, just not where pics are concerned! lol

here's hoping you have an AWESOME day today and a great weight loss on your next weigh in day!

hugs from me!

Jen

 

[eeyore25]

Hi Tasha,

I hope you get to feeling better!!!!

I agree with Jen, you have such control with the pics! I don't have children, but I have 8 nieces and nephews, I only get to see 1 though. Anyways I took tons of pictures of him!! And my sister gets his picture taken like every month! But she is crazy too!!!

Hope you are having a great day other than the soar throat!

 

[Tasha+Scott]

Actually I wouldn't call it having control so much as not having enough money to have her picture taken more often, lol! I do take tons of pictures with my own camera though! I love taking pictures and she is just the perfect subject, don't you think?

Well, we finally heard something about dh's bonus. He is getting one but the boss said that the main office is trying to rip them off on how much and he is fighting to get more. So it will be 2 weeks probably before we know exactly how much it will be. We do know what the very least he will get is now though and it's not much but it's better than nothing! I am hoping his boss will win this one and get them more money!

Okay, the weatherman was way off today! It was over 100 degrees again and it only rained for a few min. about an hour ago! And it has gone as I predicted. I am not feeling well again and I really think I could use a few more hours of sleep. I am going to try to workout later if I think I can. I am not going to push myself if I don't feel well but I am hoping I will feel well enough to walk for a little while. I'll let you know if I do or not!

 

[Cruise04]

I'm sorry you're not feeling well. That is exactly how I started out last week - the sore throat and then my sinuses started hurting. And now I'm draining some. I get really tired and out of energy by the night when I'm not feeling well too - it's like my body has had enough and just wants to give up.

I hope you get to feeling better soon!!!!

Keep on
Chris

 

[Tasha+Scott]

Well, although I still don't feel great, I did feel well enough to get some time in with the treadmill! I feel better knowing I did that despite this sinus cold. I managed to walk for 46 min. and 2.50 miles and burned 205 calories. My total July min. is now at 401/500. I think I will make goal if I can just make myself walk these next few days! Scott walked for 30 min. and 1.53 miles. He is now at 465/540 for his exercise challenge and 15.02/722.32 for the walking to Disney challenge.

I am calling my clinic tomorrow b/c I still have not started my period since I had Kylie and she will be 3 months old a week from Friday and I am not breastfeeding so I think I should have started it by now. I am going to see if there is anything that they can do or if I have to wait it out some more. Or maybe it's just normal but I don't know. Well, I need to get some rest so I'll post more tomorrow! Night!

 

[Minniespal]

Well done to you both ~ You are doing really well on the exercise side.

Hope you start to feel better soon

 

[lillygator]

Hi Tasha....my doc put me on BC soon after I delivered as he said - you never know when it will come whether you are bf'ing or not...were you on BC before?

 

[Tasha+Scott]

Yes, I was on bc pills for several years and didn't stop taking them until dh and I started trying to have Kylie.

But here's my update on that:

Okay, now I am just annoyed! I called my clinic this morning and explained what was going on and asked if I could start my pills to help get my periods started back up. Well, apparently my NP "accidentally" gave me the wrong info. and should have had me start them after my 6 week checkup 6 weeks ago! I asked if I could go ahead and start them now and was told no, since dh and I have resumed having sex since then. They want me to come in this afternoon and take a preg. test. If it turns up neg. (which I am certain it will) then they want me to come back in a month and take another preg. test just in case I was preg. this time but not far enough along for the test to work. If that one also comes up neg. then they are going to start me on progesterone to help my periods start back up. Only after my periods start back up may I go back on the pill! I wish my NP had told me the correct info. from the start! It would have saved me this hassle! Anyway, like I said I know I'm not preg., but it never hurts to have some PD just in case! I'll let you know what happens after my appt.

 

[Cruise04]

Gosh - good luck on all of that. Sounds like I'd be pretty upset too. But I guess I now understand their precautions. Hang in there - how frustrating.

Keep on
Chris

 

[Tasha+Scott]

Well, back from the clinic and the test was neg. I was 99.99% sure I wasn't preg. but I have to go back on Aug. 29 for one more test before they will start the progesterone. Of course if I get my period before then I can just start the bc pills and not have to go through any extra steps. I am hoping that I will start before then! Wish me luck!

It is only 84 degrees outside today but it feels hotter b/c of the humidity. But atleast it's not 111!

 

[Tasha+Scott]

Well, I managed to walk again tonight! I walked for 34 min. to bring my min. up to an even 435/500 for the July challenge. That means I only have 65 min. left to do in 3 days to meet goal. That should be easy enough as long as I walk some every night this week! I also walked 1.90 miles and burned off 153 calories. I plan to increase my exercise goal for Aug. since I plan to start at the beginning of the month and not the middle like I did this month. I will probably aim for 750 min. and increase it to 1000 in Sept. We'll see how it goes in Aug. first though! Scott took today as a rest day b/c he had a busy day at work and was exhausted. Doesn't matter anyway. He mows this weekend and will easily meet his minutes just doing that! Anyway, I will get to journals tomorrow b/c I still need to take a shower and then I am going to bed! Night!
