Gotta just face it

I woke up feeling so fat and very bloated, which doesn't help, but honestly I couldn't talk myself onto the scale after our fun week-long-who-cares-vacation. While I don't have any regrets, I just wasn't ready to go back to work after 10 days off AND face the scale on the same day. Like my thinkin'? Ha!
Today I tracked using etools about 90% of what I ate. I haven't tracked in several weeks, so it's a good start. However I struggled with being hungry all day! Literally a zone bar satisfied my hunger for 2 hrs, lame. Anyhow, gotta work on shrinking down this tummy again.

I am trying to remember that losing weight helped us to get where we are today and that's pregnant which is a dream come true. I don't want to lose sight of that.

Back at it! My goal through Nicole's pregnancy is to maintain.

Let the world know

Finally, finalLY! We are at a safe place in our pregnancy to let the world, meaning Face.book mostly, know that we are expecting. It has been a long road to get here but I believe our babies choose us and that this is truly the one meant for us. We are a mixture of feelings of course, but the excitement overwhelms us for sure!

Our family of 4 (including our boys) will soon be a family of 5 (party of 3 ;)) come June time. Nicole is due 6/8/12 - we like the even date. By the way, if you didn't already know this Mama wanted a 2012 baby. In our entire relationship something pretty big has happened about every 2 yrs so I wanted to keep that up! See below:

Together in 2006
Engaged in 2008
Married in 2010
Baby Sheldon eta 2012

Anyhow, the cat is definitely outta the bag for real! No more secrets now that as of today she is 12weeks and well, it's on FB!

Today we are leaving Maui, we have had a great relaxing and fun time with her family. Plus, it's here we took the picture for the FB announcement. Along with the pic (below) It said This Thanksgiving we are most thankful for...

How does bad dog = more work for mama?

Took the boys to play on my lunch break and figured they would enjoy the rest of the afternoon out of their crates. We put everything up on counters and tables.. but that didn't stop Logie!

He grabbed a little vase off the table with two red roses I bought for Nicole awhile back and tore it to shreds. Meet Mr. Guilty himself.

I say bad dog I get pee on carpet. Ugh.

Maybe Duncan will be the only one enjoying the afternoons out for a bit longer!
