Toothpicks for my eyes PLEASE!

Night 3 Emma wakes lol 3am.. feed goes back to bed.. I hate teething it's disrupting everyones sleep haha. Ailey (puppy) thinks its time to get outta bed n play too! I said oh no, get back in bed lol. So it took me like an hour to fall back asleep.. I don't so much mind getting up for 10 min for her to suck down a bottle but it's like once I am up I am up and then it takes me FOREVER to fall back asleep blah then the alarm goes off at 5:30am to start my day! Fun, fun.. I warned my boss today haha, I was crabby last night.. I just am a person that needs their sleep and I am sooo use to Emma sleeping 7-7 which yes sometimes we hit ruff patches like this week!

Sleep I will see you soon once again-- uninterrupted please

Teething sucks :(

My poor little baby. She has the runs the bad attitude and waking up the last two nights. Also, swollen gums hopefully her teeth come thru anyday now. She chews on everything. I even made her some frozen wash rags but as you can imagine they are cold so she doesn't really suck on em very long. We have vibrating teethers, gelled teethers, ball teethers, teething rings, bicuits, cookies, amber necklaces, snacks u name it we have it lol.. this too shall pass


This is what a pissed off teething Emma looks like, if only I could take the pain away for her


She LOVES the teething biscuits errr excuse me they say "not intended for teething" right on the box but you know what that's what we use to use em for.. and she likes them and does good with em so we are gunna roll with it. I haven't been able to locate the healthy times brand at any of my local heath food stores, might have to spend the $6 on shipping.. I hate paying shipping..

Emma decided to climb in the bouncer herself and pet Chewy

Weight loss 101 errrr

I have decided I want to lose 10 pounds for Vegas.. well Vegas is my motivation lol.. I use to be such a gym rat. I started last week.. I did pretty good I made it to the gym 5 days out of 7.. not too shabby considering I was only doing 3 days prior and I really need to step it up.. it's just hard finding the time and getting home to cook dinner, bathe Emma and still spend quality time with my lil pumpkin butt. So now I go to the gym on my lunch break.. yup.. 30min cardio and 15-20min weights and then I hurry up get dressed and get my butt back to the office.. I like it.. I eat my sandwich on the way to the gym.. which this week I am doing salads so I will just eat here at 11:30 then leave at noon.. I am glad I finally found something that works for me.. at least I am not rushing like a mad women anymore when I get out of work. I feel more relaxed and I have a little routine that acutally is working for me.

I am trying a higher protein diet this time around.. so I started today off w/ a protein shake w/ some fresh fuit blended in with it.. it's actually pretty good.. about 2 hours later I had 1 piece of my ezekiel bread w/ organic pb LIGHTLY spreaded on there. I am suppose to be eating egg whites.. blah I've never been a fan of egg whites, or fried eggs cause of the white stuff etc haha so I boiled up 4 and I chopped one up in my salad today for lunch.. but that's suppose to be one of my mid morning meals.. not sure how I feel about it yet.. apparently I am not too keen cause, well, they are in the fridge at home.. but I swear tomorrow I will slice em up and bring them with me. I know my stomach is still adjusting to the smaller amounts of food I am no longer shoveling in my face haha. I actually feel better already.
Raw organic nut mix? Yummy
