Walking Day One

After dinner Jesse, Jacob and I went for a walk. It was a nice 30 minute walk over to the park and back again. However, Jesse walks too slow for what I am wanting to do. So I may be going in the evenings, after dinner, before it starts getting dark but when its nice and cool out.

I made lasagna for dinner. I also made Jesse's birthday cake (I will be taking a picture and posting it). It it two cakes with a chocolate mousse filling. It doesn't look to pretty but I think it will taste really good.

I have done good on the calories today. With everything today (including the cake I am going to have) I am at roughly 1400 claories! GOAL!!! And I don't feel hungry. Thats the important part. Now I just need to drink so more water and I will be good to go!

a month later and...

I am still here. Just had a lot going on in the last month. Jacob's chicken pox were really mild. We just got back from southern Idaho. Went to visit family and that was a blast. Jacob did SO well in the car. I am SO proud of him. He really did well the whole trip for being in a new place and meeting so many new people.

I will be in a wedding this summer so I am starting to watch what I eat. I didn't do so well today, although I did try to eat breakfast (for some reason I was sick to my stomache). But I did track all that I ate. I want to be eating about 1500 calories and I ate 2600 (yikes!). And I didn't get in any exercise. So hopefully we will get to go hiking tomorrow.

Jess and I have been having some major problems in our marriage that we are trying very hard to work out. I even went as far as to leave him last week right before vacation (he was staying home while I went with my parents to southern id). But we have since talked about things and are both making some adjustments. I love him so much and it hurts to see us going through this.

Next week is out 1 yr anniversary. Wow.

Jacob is growing like a weed. I need to make his six month shot appointment. We have a check up the end of June.

Our lease on our current place is up in Aug and so we are trying to find a new place to live. We both really want to buy a house but that is just not going to happen right now. And thats okay. I would like to see us pay so more stuff off before we do that.

Jesse spent the weekend in Lewiston. It was a lot of fun seeing the family. Missed Jacob and Lacey tons while I was gone. Seems like Jacob got so much bigger in the few days since I had seen him. Work is going well. Still studying my numbers so I can take a test and get a much needed raise. All in all, things are going well.

Chicken Pox in my 5 month old

Thats right. We took him into the ER tonight and it looks like the onset of chicken pox. Great. And I really shouldn't be reading the internet. Because of course, even if I had wanted to get the vaccine, we can't because Jacob is under a year old. And CP is worse for infants under a year. Great... just freaking great. I am so nervous and scared and paniky. I want nothing more than to just go hover over Jacob's crib. Right now I am very thankful that his crib is in our room. I have to get off the internet and quit reading all there is to read about chicken pox.
