Thursday

  Without a doubt this has been the longest week (it seems) ever!  Its weird I can't even believe we are still on at Thursday! Ahh usually I am behind and then boom Friday and I have a ton of stuff to do.  I guess it's okay for time to actually seem like it slows every once and a while?!  The kids had a good day yesterday.  Dallas said "pizza"! I haven't switched over to his new diet yet, I have still be researching and it really has to stick so has to be the right timing.  I am thinking Monday would be a good start.  Slater has been waking up with me when Jason and I get up at 4:45-5:00ish.. He wakes up so happy! I wish I could do that.  I will look in his crib and there are his eyes and his little smile. He usually gets excited by kicking his legs.  We go out he has a bottle plays with a few toys and now at 6:30...is already napping :).  He's so cute.  If I had to guess I would say he is going to be the goofball of the family.  At first I wasn't sure, but I am thinking so now.  He is so funny and so attached to us at the same time.  He adds such character to our family.  When we decided to try for our 3rd child I wanted a girl.  I don't even know why, but I did.  But I couldn't imagine having anything different then Slater.  He so plays that role of the last child too.  It's like he knows we are hanging on to every little last baby phase.


  I have a couple of cakes to do this weekend, and had some left over batter (normally never happens) so I made up a few of my small cakes.  I am thinking we might take aunt Erin a little surprise cake.  If we have time that is.  I also use them to let Reese decorate..she loves it.  We are going to a birthday party in Hermiston on Saturday and Slater will be hanging out with her while we go.  I am that parent that worries about my little ones getting sick.  Yes I still worry of Dallas and Reese getting it, but Slater is just 6 months.  Also give him a little fun time with his aunt.  He loves being held that's for sure.  Reese is already excited for the birthday party, but always makes me assure her, that her birthday is coming up soon too!  This morning my mission is to finish a cake, grocery list, plan for dallas new diet and also plan to incorporate some of the keto diet recipes.  Jason and I have been so strict so now we are going to try some of the actual recipes.  We usually just eat the plain meats.  I am excited for that! My sister sends me the recipes and there are def a few I will be trying.  Also one of my fav snacks (stuffed mushrooms) is totally on the diet.  about 2 months after Slater was born I started working out and running.  With overwhelming stuff with Dallas and doctors appointment's and emotional roller coaster it slipped.  I remember just telling Jason that I am not in the mind set for this and I just can't even do it.  He supported me.  I stayed pretty good with my diet, but then 1 month ago started this new diet and today I have decided to go back to the gym.  Jason has a TRX band and we usually would work out here.  But I really think I could use that time outside the home to clear my mind and get more effective workouts in.  Also they have a kids room so on the weekends I think it will be a fun thing to go as a family.  During the week I will go very early or evenings.. Jason and I just kind of swap timings for it.  I am def excited to see results.  I am thankful I didn't fall completely off tract and give up on it all.  I care about my health and appearance.  I also find it as a hobby, especially the running part.  I plan to get into running shape and by the time good weather rolls around just be running my long stretches again.  It's a big goal that's for sure, but I am taking things steady.  No I am no where near where I feel I should of been by now but I know I will get there.  This last csection really set me back.  I still have stomach scarring pain.  I know my energy level rises when I work out and I am so in need of that as well.
