Fun in the City

I know this will sound silly but I had a shocker these week when I took Reese to the dr. Good news is he is finally 28 lbs. Bad news is I have gained weight. How this is possible? I eat healthy and I nurse nonstop so its very strange to me that I can gain weight in the past month. I am calling the ob tomorrow because this has really gotten me down. By this point with Reese I was back in my clothes and with her I am gaining weight? But the thing is I cant diet and cant exercise or I will have a starving baby so I may just have to come to terms with it for a while. I was ok with myself for a while but to see no progress and actually to go in the opposite direction is discouraging. Enough about me because I have fantastic kids and alot to be thankful for.

This weekend we didn't let the rain get us down. We started Sat am with our Chick Fil A breakfast ritual (so Reese can play on the playground since neither of us have figured out how to take both kids there solo) and to Gander Mountain so Reese and Rusty can bond. Then we went to the MOPS picnic in the rain. Everyone had a great time. More importantly we were able to enjoy cooler weather on the patio. Caleigh loved watching Reese play in his pool in the rain

Today we took a trip to the big city to see my family. It was Caleighs first time to my home church and my mother was so proud to parade her around. Afterwards we went to my sisters house where all the cousins played together. Reese loves Nathan, Micah and Conner and talks non stop about going to see them so he was really happy. Rusty and I snuck away on a quick shopping date where neither of us found a thing. Its always fun to gather all my coupons and gift cards to take a trip shopping in the city and find nothing! I did take Rusty to my dream house I found down there several months ago - for the bargain price of 600k of course. The selling point to me was an office off the bedroom - that's my dream. So I can have privacy and work without the world having to look at my desk (which is clean but still a workplace). He was a good sport about it. Caleigh did great in the car- she has gotten to be a great traveller. She even managed to take 2 naps with all the chaos at my sisters.

In my sisters pool. For those who know my family, yes there is a neighborhood kid in the picture.
