I have been battling losing weight for 3 years now. I know, that's not very long. Shaddup. In high school I was super skinny and NEVER had to work for it. I always ignored everyone who told me it would catch up eventually. The knew NOTHING!! Well, actually they were right. Dern it!
Yesterday I went next door to a naturopath who put me on a very VERY strict diet for the next 6 weeks. It isn't so bad actually. It's a lot of what I'm already eating but just in smaller portions. Portion control is my problem. Instead of eating the 1 serving of pot stickers I eat 3. I mean come on! 5 pot stickers doth not make 1 serving! Seriously dude!
I have to give myself shots every morning. Hahahahahaaaa! I thought the doctor was crazy!
side note: for those of you who don't know, even the thought of needles makes me dizzy. I cant even look at needles in a movie without grimacing and hiding. Matt thinks it's funny, I do not.
So this morning when I was getting ready to give myself a shot Claire and Lea stood there plugging their ears screaming NOOOOO!!!! NOT a good way to cheer on someone who is needle phobic!
The needles are teeny tiny. Think insulin needles. I don't feel a thing actually. Well, that's a lie. I have to punch the skin I'm poking and I get so freaked out from the shot that I end up squeezing my skin super hard. So I feel the squeeze-read iron death grip on my stomach!
So right now I'm 2 days into the 42. These are the easiest days because I'm supposed to eat like a king and then start my low cal. diet tomorrow. We'll see how I'm feeling in a few days!

Boy am I a slacker!
I started this blog 3 months ago. For the 1st few days I did awesome! Blogged about Claire being born and my whole adventure.
*cuing crickets*
Sorry, I'm a horrible "diary" writer. I tried when I was a girl and never really got into it. It felt really lame...Dear Diary: Today Soandso did suchandsuch. Yeah, not my cup of tea.
But...as I sit here watching Lost, sniffing dinner (bacon wrapped roasted chicken. YUM! I rock, I know) and continuously pushing a fat 20lb cat off my arm I figured I'd give this another shot!
For those of you who don't know I put my resignation in. I am going to complete this school year but chose not to come back next year. It was soooo difficult for me to do but with the help (read jerk-headedness) of my principal I chose to be a stay at home mom with Lea next year.
The fact that it took my principal two and a half weeks to come and talk to me after I put in my resignation just proved that he didn't want me there. Seriously! He didn't even say a simple "Hello" in the hallway for 2 and a half weeks!!!! Dude! Come on!
Anyway, I don't need all that drama in my life.
When I get the cable for my camera found I'll start putting pictures onto this thing. I'd love for you all to see pictures of Claire and Lea. They are getting so big!
TTFN!

Birthday for Claire Renee!
And the journey continues...
3am-They determine that I can no longer go the natural route and that I must have an epidural. Fine. Fix the pain. I'm exhausted and need a nap. They also decide to give me pitocin to speed things along. Boy, all this work for nothing so far? Good grief! Well, actually I found out that I started to close up a bit so we needed to start back from the beginning. Fan. Tastic.
6am-I am allowed to take a nap now. They gave me meds to mask the contractions. Before I zonk out I ask for them to bring a bed in for Matt. I have never seen that man fall asleep so fast.
10am-We are woken up and said they're going to start pushing pitocin again. They want this baby to come out soon or we're going to have to have a c-section. That is NOT what I want. I must say that 4 hours of sleep felt like I just closed my eyes. Goodness, I cannot believe I'm expected to wake up and work now!
11:30am-I have begun the fun journey of pushing now. The baby can be seen a bit (eew) but it has not budged for quite some time. The doctor even tried vacuum extraction which OUCH! I do not recommend THAT! It popped off the baby's head a few times. I bet if the baby was outside of my stomach it would have slapped our doctor so hard he wouldn't have even known what hit him.
3pm-I have been working for 3 1/5 hours now with no progression. The baby is now in distress and I am exhausted. They talk to me and suggest an emergency c-section. I instantly start freaking out. My sweet nurse Kyra helps me push the morphine drip. Oh baby that stuff is awesome! I don't know why I didn't tap into that earlier! Yum-E!
3:30pm-I am now a very proud Mommy of a purple (but pinking up quickly) little girl named Claire Renee. She is 7lbs 10oz and is 21 inches long. Her head was turned the wrong way so that explains why she wasn't budging in my birthing gear.
Claire has a beautiful head of black hair and little blue eyes. She is very angry we took so long to meet and reminded Matt and myself of this anger for the next 5 days. Once we figured out she was super hungery and gave her some formula (much to my dismay) she was a much happier baby.
She did have to have an EKG because they thought they heard a murmor in her heart. Everything was fine.
Claire did get kicked out of the nursery one night because she was waking up all the other babies with her crazy screaming. Haha! That's my girl! Came out loud and never stopped!
Well, that's my little walk down memory lane. That's for sticking through it. We'll see what else I can blog about later. My creative juices weren't flowing for this last entry so I might give it a break for a bit. :)
