Staring at a Blank Page..

That's what I've been doing for at least a 1/2 hour this morning.. I've been wanting to blog, but really haven't had much to talk about.  Life is just happening.. nothing overly exciting, nothing overly dramatic, just happening.

Mac is good. He's up on all fours but can't really figure out the whole moving his arms and legs into a crawl yet.  He's VERY vocal, meaning he found his voice and can't wait to hear himself (scream) every morning and all throughout the day! He's going to his first baseball game this weekend and hopefully he likes it b/c there are many more in his future this month alone!! 

I'm good.. just pluggin along with work and life.  I'm still really into Pilates and am getting so much better and stronger at it.  I even have been surprising myself with some of the things/moves I've been able to do.

My weight loss is slow as usual but I'm losing. I have big goals this year in that area so I'm hoping that I can meet them.

Got really excited when i saw the BOOBs post yesterday. I'm totally in!! Being that most of my besties live in Chicago, I'm going to make a big trip out of it so I can make both BOOBs and spending time with my girls happen! I'm pretty sure I have my roomate but I need to confirm with her since we haven't texted about it in a while.  Will email the BOOBs planners soon!! So excited to meet so many  of you!!

My AJ and UB are arriving tomorrow night and staying with us for a couple of nights. Super excited to see them and give them big hugs!

Hope you are all well. I promise a more exciting update with pics next time!

Traveling, Losing and Busy

Hey all! Once again, I've been MIA from the blog! Work has been super busy as of late and then we went to Atlanta this past weekend. Hopefully things slow down for a bit now and then once March hits, if you've been following me for a long time, you know what that means!  Spring Traning!! We have tickets to every Saturday and Sunday Brewer game so we'll be spending lots of time in the sun!! yahooo! 

Atlanta was super fun. Mac got to meet his cousins and his Uncle!  We went to the GA Aquarium - if you haven't been or are ever in ATL, you must go! So cool!!!  It was nice to just get away and hang with family and not really have a big agenda.


My band seems to be really working well lately which is fine and dandy for me!! I got on the scale this morning and was pleasently surprised b/c it appears I've lost about 7 lbs in the last 2 1/2 weeks. That NEVER happens!! HOpefully, my body is getting back to "normal" now and I'll keep on losing and be at goal by the end of the year.  I still have a long way to go though! I'm keeping up with my Pilates and walking but not walking as much as I should.  I need to step it up, especially now. We got pedometers at work and me and my super-competitive team want to win so I'm going to start walking like a maniac!! Just 12 lbs to go before I'm at pre-preggo weight and then hopefully it's all down from there!

Mac is doing great. He turned 7 months on Monday - so hard to believe. Not crawling yet, but oh so close!!  His little leg just gets in his own way! He's got a third tooth popping through and babbles almost constantly. I swear he is saying Hi all the time to me and I'm hoping to hear a Mama sometime soon!!  He had his first Valentine date with KD last night - he just loves her!


Here is one of the pics Michelle took for his Valentine's card..  he looks like a little man!!

Hope you all are doing well! Been reading a lot of blogs, just not commenting all the time!
