Needin to get it together!

So I realized that all my posts since the baby were born were all pretty much the same just updated pictures so I haven't blogged because I didn't even want to read the same thing again. So here is a new topic that I have been strugglin with. Why in the world can I not get my weight loss together. I am miserable with all this extra baby weight on yet for some reason I can't seem to get my crap together. I go to the gym once, maybe twice a week, if that. Come on people, we all know that's just not going to cut it!! I can't find the time. I try to figure a time that I can take the baby with me but it seems like there is always something else that takes over my master plan. Then lets get into the food bit of the skinny plan. Being fat makes you want fat people food!! It's a horrible cycle. I have done it before with no problems. Lost weight like it was nobodys business but this time when it really would help my self esteem it's like I can't pull it together. UGH!!! It's so frustrating!! I just want to feel like me again!! To end this post I'll leave you with a smiley face. Here is my beautiful girl!

So every day I am amazed at how much I love my little girl. I always wanted babies but I didn't know you could love this much. Well folks, you can!! I seriously cry sometimes when I look at her because I can't believe she is mine and I just feel like I am going to burst with love for her. She is the best baby in the whole world. So happy all the time and just melts your heart with her smile and her eyes. I love my Keeley girl!!

Just a few things....

span>r>


To begin with I love being a mom. I adore my little girl like noones business. As of this point, I don't think there is a single moment I have regreted having her join my life. To me, and Dean for that matter, she is the most beautiful baby that ever was brought into this world. I am however in the process of trying to get her into her own bed at night. She is 3 months old and as of thus far has slept with Dean and I every night. I've loved it but I know it's important for her to sleep in her own place. Any suggestions on the transition are welcomed:) Dean and I bought our first house yesterday!!! YEAH!! We are both super excited and although it's just a townhome it will be perfect for us for a long time. Now on to the life lesson that Heavenly Father seems on insisting to teach me. Dean and I when we first got married rented a townhome that was in a ward I thought I would love. Well let's just say I didn't. It was a really hard year for me church wise and I started to not want to go. Well, we moved in with his folks and their ward has been amazing!!! Within the first week the relief society was here to greet us and the countless welcomes for Dean in the Elders quarom were there too. It was such a different experience. While we have been looking for a house I have purposely been looking outside of what I thought our old ward boundaries areas were. Our townhome is on the south side of the 215 so I thought, great, we're safe! I was wrong!!! We are back in that same ward that I disliked so much and it's in a home that we purchased to live in for several years. I was really upset at first when I found out the reality but like I said, Heavenly Father is teaching me something here. Dean and I are both really going to try hard to go in with a better attitude and hopefully, with some persistance of course, I will come out with maybe not a love for the ward but for a renewed love of the gospel. The ward would just be an added bonus! Well here are a few pics just to share. Self portraits of course so don't laugh :)

Anyone!

I need a recommendation for a really good pediatrician in Las Vegas. Anyone got one?

So my baby girl is getting so big. Dean blessed the baby this weekend. He did a wonderful job. What a good daddy he is turning out to be. My mom made her blessing clothes, which were beautiful, and most of our family got to be here to share in our special day. I posted the family pictures just so everyone could see my cute little family but be aware that I still need to lose the baby weight. I'm workin on it folks! Miss Keeley also had her first swim with daddy. She loved the water and if I do say so myself I don't think it gets much cuter then this little girl in her swimmin suit. :)

Thank you Megan Lee!!!

I am so blessed in my life to have great friends and to have grown up with some amazing individuals that I still keep in contact with today. One of those individuals is Megan Lee, used to be Megan White. A while before the baby was born she contacted me and asked if she could take pictures during the birth of the baby. As most of you know I am not a private person and so of course I said go right ahead. She is trying to get a business started doing this so I was the trial run. I was excited, hesitant, and all of those things that can run through your mind when you think of fat pictures and your private parts being displayed in photographs but I just have to say THANK YOU Megan from the bottom of my heart. As I sit here and watch the slide show of pictures, no words, just beautiful pictures of my amazing babies birth I couldn't help but just cry. You caught so many precious moments that you miss through your exhaustion and your overwhelming emotions of everything that is going on around you. I must tell all that there was not one gross picture or fat picture just beautiful photos tracking the time, the looks on my families faces, my husbands face, and the firsts of my babies introduction to this world. What a beautiful keepsake and one that I will charish forever. Thank you again Megan and if any of you are having a baby any time soon, please concider doing something like this. You won't regret it and the exprience of rewatching that special time is priceless!
