TODAY'S MOTIVATION

Ok I promise pretty soon I will start doing some more meaningful posts, but in the mean time this is what has motivated me today. I was going through my closet to see if there are any clothes that still fit me for my trip to Florida coming up in a few weeks. You remember when I went through my closet and got rid of old clothes? Well there are some more I have to give away, cause I found a bunch of stuff that used to be real tight on me and now is falling off of me. Sometimes you don't realize how far you have come until things like that happen. So that is my motivation today... being able to recognize that things do change - when you put it into action, it will happen.

Also I'm going to be making some changes on this blog soon, mostly just updating it and changing some of the pages so stay tuned for that!

RANT OR RAVE

Well the past week everyone at my house has been sick and honestly I just haven't had any motivation to really do anything. I was also not getting any sleep between Maya teething again and me not feeling well, so during the day I have been a bit of a zombie. But that all changed last night. I went to bed at 8pm while Chris put Maya down. She only got up once at 12am in which Chris offered to get up with her but I needed to get rid of some milk (still breastfeeding) and quickly fed her and went back down until 7:30am this morning! I got over ten hours of sleep in total! Holy cow I am a new woman this morning! You have heard me complain about sleep on here many times before, but it's always nice to brag about the times I do get to sleep. Also, this reminded me of a video that someone recently posted on facebook. So many things on it I could directly relate to, especially the one about millions of people enduring sleep deprivation. Anyway, take a look for yourself:

I seriously want to share this video with anyone about to have their first child or anyone who has just had their first child. While I was watching, it seemed like each one was a direct quote from friends and coworkers who had shared their experiences with me about what to expect with motherhood.  It was like, "Hey that is just like what so and so told me!". Anyway, I thought it had a lot of universal messages and I know all the Mom's out there will relate to this one.  

RANDOMS

So Maya has finally figured out that if she drops food on the floor Gunther will automatically eat it. She has been watching him sit underneath her chair since she started solids, eating her discards - but it wasn't until recently that she realized that she was the sole person responsible for feeding him in this manner. So yesterday she just started taking all of her food and just throwing in on the floor to watch Gunther eat it. This new revelation was funny so I took a few pictures.
