Ouch! I am in pain!
First, let me begin by saying I feel like a big fat cow. Yes, I know I just had a baby 4 almost 5 months ago. I have two big belly rolls, back fat, and I am totally out of shape and exhausted. Eric keeps telling me that if I am unhappy with the way I look to exercise. SO I DID!
Yesterday was my first day to do P90X. Core Workout. Today, I feel every muscle in my body screaming at me. I had to roll out of the bed. Forget sitting straight up. That would have made me cry. My abs are sore. My thighs and my butt are killing me. This had better work.
While I was exercising yesterday, I came to a few conclusions.
1. Breastfeeding and exercising don't always get along. No jumping jacks for me!
2. The guy who instructs P90X is on my people I don't like list.
3. This sucks!
Eric wants to start eating healthy. Basically, he means to eat only vegetables. I can't handle that. Give me a good ol' hamburger! I vote we just stay home and eat. I will cook vegetables and even go to the farmers market. He wants to follow that nutrition plan for P90X. A mushroom omelet for breakfast: YUCK! I hate eggs and mushrooms. Hmmmm......
Today starts day two: Cardio. It's a shorter workout but with all of this pain from yesterday, it's going to feel like an eternity! I might just have to throw something at the tv or mute it so I don't have to hear that annoying guy talk!

Full Days
One would think that a stay at home mom would be at home. BIG FAT NOT!
Swim lessons
Ball Games
Zumbatomics
Library
I love keeping my boy busy! He is such a smart and energetic kid. He is swimming like a fish. He loves the water. Maybe, we should move to the beach where he can play in the water all the time. OR live in a house that has a pool and pool boy. HAHA!
We play baseball tonight! So far we are undefeated!! Woohoo! We have a game tomorrow night and Saturday. I hope we can be undefeated. Then next week we play a tournament.
Zumbatomics is great! For an hour, Sebastian runs around and dances. He gets all of his energy out. He has so much fun while he is there.
Then there's the library. He wants to go there all the time. He is reading books almost all by himself. He trips on a few words here and there but overall he reads them. They are on 2nd grade levels too. We checked out 7 books for him Thursday. Tomorrow we will be going back to the library to return them and get more.
Lily is doing well. She is getting so big so fast. She gained a pound in a week. I guess this mama is doing something right. She is teething too. I hope it's awhile before she gets a tooth. She slobbers and chews! Her favorite toy is a squeaky giraffe. I can't believe she is already 4 1/2 months. I look at her and see how much she has grown and it makes me sad. She's my last baby. I could go for another one :) Eric not so much.

What a morning!!
What a day and it's only 2:30!!!
We went to the doctor this morning for Lily's 4 month checkup. She is a healthy 13 lbs 7 oz. She is looking good. Then came the shots. She was not a happy camper and who can blame her!! I made sure to give her tylenol before the shots and nursed her after. I put her down and she screamed bloody murder. She was fine when I picked her back up. THIS IS ONE SPOILED PRINCESS!!!
Sebastian had swim lessons this morning. He is such a fish! He loves the water. I am glad that he listens to Alison when he's in the pool. It's such a big improvement from last year. He was such a spaz! He retained what he learned from last year. He now knows how to do the breaststroke and backstroke. Alison is trying to get him to breathe while doing the breaststroke. It's comical! He is trying to swim and breathe and he looks like a fish out of water that's smiling the whole time.
I finally get a babysitter for a lunch but I told her the wrong day! UGH!! It's ok though. She came over and brought her little brother. Sebastian is worn slap out! He's snoozing on the couch and Lily is snoozing in the swing. Lily has decided she doesn't like people. She cried when Kristy held her. She cried when she looked at her. She cried when she talked to her. 3 hours into it Lily finally decided that Kristy could talk to her. I laid her down in her pack and play to play with her toys and she was fine. Kristy went over there and Lily just laughed at her. Then when Kristy picked her up, she cried again. What am I going to do with that stinker? She's going to have to get used to other people. Sebastian could care less who he held him.
Now, I am taking a break! Red beans are cooking in the crock pot and smell delicious! Next up: laundry and getting ready for the baseball game tonight. GO GREEN TEAM!!!
Or maybe I should take a nap too??? HAHA!!! Lily just woke up from her 10 minute cat nap!

Crazy Weekend
So....my first days as a stay at home mom haven't been at home!!
Thursday, Lily and I went to pick up Sebastian in Alexandria. Holy Moly! Traffic in Baton Rouge is horrible. We came home Friday. (7 hours on the road Thursday and 6 hours Friday).
While we love our family and grandparents, I can say that I don't want to make that drive again for a LONG time!!!
Saturday, I had a nice outing. I went to tea with my sweet church family. We had an amazing time. I really enjoyed being able to get to know some of the ladies better. We are so blessed to have a wonderful church family. God is good!
Then we went to a birthday party. Sebastian swam his little heart out. He had so much fun. He really loves to play with Tyler and Mikayla and Chrissy.
Today was church and a going away party for Erik. After church we had pizza. Sebastian painted us a picture. He is such a sweet little boy.
I am realizing now just how much we run and go. Sebastian was a go baby. He loved everybody. Lily, on the other hand, is a home body. She doesn't like to be on the road or a lot of people. She screamed when people looked at her. I felt so bad because everyone wants to hold her and talk to her. It was kind of funny though. When they even looked at her she would cry! It was better this afternoon at Erik and Emily's going away party.
I am looking at curriculum for Sebastian. He is so eager to learn! I found something that I like. Hmmm.....do you think Eric will let me spend 150 dollars on it. I think so. I am not sure how to teach bible stories so I think this is going to help. I think that I am going to order Saxon Math for 1st grade, too. Maybe, I will find a good phonics program and a good science and social studies. I might as well teach him while he wants to learn because when he is a teenager he's going to want to be with all his friends.
Lily has talked and talked all day today. She is getting so big so fast. I am amazed watching her. She is getting a great personality. She's laid back like Eric but has my spark. It's such a joy to be able to be home with her and Sebastian. I wake up and look forward to my sweet angels.
Tomorrow starts swim lessons and baseball practice. I still have to go to the grocery store. With Eric home tomorrow, I will make it!

Day 1 of Dream Job
Blogging is new to me. I am starting this blog so that my family can keep up with what's going on with our babies. I am also blogging so that I can remember all the great things and crazy things that happen in our lives.
Today is the first day of my dream job!!! Being a stay at home mom!
It's crazy to think that when I was a little girl the only thing I really wanted to be was a mommy. God has blessed me with two beautiful and wonderful children: Sebastian and Lily. I wasn't able to stay home with Sebastian and I missed so many things with him: first steps, first words, first tooth coming in. I don't want to miss that with Lily. I want to be able to be the mom who bakes cookies for my boy when he gets home from school.
Already today I have had my coffee and read my bible. This is going to be a must every morning! God is in control and I want to start my day with Him. Without Jesus, I would be nothing and have nothing.
Laundry is going and bills are paid. WooHoo!!! Now, I have to run to the bank, get groceries, and come home and pack for the night. I am on my way to pick Sebastian up from his pawpaw. I am so ready to get my little boy back. He keeps me entertained :) Sometimes he even drives me crazy!!!! BUT I love him with all my heart.
