There is my attempt at a creative title. LOL

It is 1:30 am here and I just finished Harry Potter. I am throughly depressed.

Morning Mommies!

Mandy, catchy title!

Dar, that thing looks perfect for a hot climate! My issue is he sweats when he sits in it—he’s probably just taking after his daddy and being a sweaty little guy!

Cyn, I thought my spider killing attempt was pretty funny too. Does windex work? Spray starch does NOT work. Heavy duty bathroom cleaner DOES! LOL

Wendy, I grew up in Michigan, Traverse City cherries are definitely the best—fall colors too!

Emily, I would probably try to get a second estimate…when we moved over here, the shipping company lost 2 or 3 boxes. I cannot believe how much I padded that claim—fortunately DH’s company was really great about it. Basically no questions asked. They lost our sheets and you cannot buy sheets to fit a queen bed over here—so of course I had to include fed ex shipping *grin* Are they American TVs? How’d they work in germany? We use a bunch of stuff on converters but the TV wont work with the broadcasts here for some reason…OMG Logan’s been in size 3 for like a month now!

Diedre, great synopsis! LOL Flush the poop out of disposables?! Are you supposed to do that?! (seriously)

Chels, how was rum iced coffee? I love iced coffee and rum is my fave, but have never tried them together.

Jefiner, I’m amazed at how much wine/beer/coffee Swedes let their kids (I’m talking little kids, like 3) have!

Melissa, sorry about your MIL…I would be freaked out too!

Chelle, great pic with the binkie!

QOTD: How often do you bathe your baby? I have this silly Dutch tub and I cannot do it alone, so Logan usually only gets 2 baths a week...unless there's an incident or something!

Another rainy day here...

Oh, everyone please, please, please don't give away HP, I'm not reading it until September!

Martha- Hunter has an ezcema issue, and when he gets baths too often if flares up. So, when it is under control, every 3 days (if he gets too dirty from something, he gets a "water bath"...no soap). When it isn't under-control we have to wait as long as possible. Luckily it has been under control lately. Martha, don't worry, I would never give away any information to ruin a book for someone.

Mandy- Oh you finished?? I think I have about 200 pages left (it is in the bedroom and Andrew is still asleep)..... I have found it interesting so far.....at least for the deep background information.

B- LC Raspberry Cheesecake (3 carbs)
L- LC Quiche (5 carbs - overestimating I am pretty sure)
D- Chicken and veggies
S- String Cheese

OMG- The scales says 195!!!!!!!!!!!! I had doubts that I was in ketosis, but not now............ 9lbs away from my second goal!!!!

That is great Melissa- I'm so proud of you. Tell that wonderful husband of your that I LOVED LOVED...DID I SAY LOVED that Stuffed Peppers!!! DH even asked where I got the recipe...he at 3 of them! BTW Lexi only gets a 'real' bath once a week. Other than that she gets sponge baths...her ped. said not to submerge her in the water more than once of week due to the eczema. I notice when I do bathe her more than once she has TONS of issues....Did you guys get the oil yet? I haven't had any problems since the oil and it really has been a life saver for us!!!

Cynthia

Well the windex didnt work either!!! LOL! Glad to know that about the bathroom cleaner though...I'll use it next time! LOL!! I only bathe Lexi once a week in the tub but other than that she gets sponge baths (not submerged in water)

It's another rainy day here too!! We had some horrible storms last night and our power went out twice. Needless to say I was late getting to work since I didnt have my alarm clock!!!

Have a great day!

Elana gets a bath every other day. She'd love one every day but I don't want to dry out her skin.

Here's her latest pic of anyone missed it last nite....Knowles snapped it while she was starin at him

Cyn- We didn't get the oil yet because his ezcema cleared up, just has a couple of patches that appear, but as soon as we put the Hydrocortizone on it, they go away. But, I do have it on the list of things to discuss with the doctor next month at his checkup.

We have started to give him Aveeno baths and that is really helping his skin also.

We give Lexi the Aveeno baths too and in fact use the soap...Does the "baby" soap, lotions, etc bother Hunter?

The bother Lexi's skin so we can only use cocoa butter and vaseline on her skin for lotion!!

Martha....you'll get to onderland!!

In fact, I think I just might go get my new tennies finally today and maybe that'll kickstart me into doing my workouts regularly again. I seriously am stuck at 275 (changing stats in fact I'm so stuck).

Okay now I'm back...

I tried to skim thru last night post....

Vanessa- The house sounds awesome, did you take pics??

Emily-You should try to rental thing, its a way to make extra $$$. We have a company that handles our rental property. If you are out of state you can hiring a 'managing' company that will take care of the upkeep...cut grass, fix problems, you pay them a fee each month and they handle ALL the rest...if someone moves, they take applications and do background/credit checks...it's worth the $$$ to pay them!!!

Sarah- Angel huh? The debate is still out on that !

Tracy- Where are the pics...I'm waiting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay hope I got everyone...if not catch ya today!!!

BTW Lexi went in her potty yesterday...I took a pic but I left my camera at home so I can't upload them...I'm telling you guys LExi is in Love with that thing..she is so amazed by it....

Sarah, Vanessa- I'm sorry but I am quitting the BFL workouts, I have gained too much weight and some of my capris don't fit...I want to get back down before my vacation Aug 8 so I'm sorry... I'm not sure why you ladies have fantastic results and I keep GAINING!!!!?????

Well so today is strick ATKINS,

My meal today

B- 1 scrambled egg, 2 turkey sausage links, 1 cup decaf, 12 ounces of water
S- 1 scramled egg, 2 turkey sausage links
L- LO Stuffed Peppers YUM!!!
S- ???
D- chicken w/ sauteed onions, zucchini, squash w/ garlic sauce over Dreamfields pasta!!!

I will let you guys know my success..I'm changing weight now... I weighed in this morning at 144.2??????????????? Is this possible to gain like 10 lbs in 2 weeks???

Martha~ I bathe Emily everynight. But that is due to the fact that she like to rub her food in her hair..lol

Cyn-how are you today?? Yea for the potty..How old is she?

Melissa-congratulations on the weightloss...

Chelle-what kind of tennies do you like? I wear nothing but Skechers..I love them and they are great to workout in.

Mandy-good morning...we had a rainy night here...just came from out of no where.

Well as for my night...it went AWESOME!!! She fell asleep in my arms and that is totally fine w/ me. So I went to put her in her crib she woke up but I stayed in there with her and patted her back and rubbed her head..and she was back to sleep in about 3 minutes..and slept all night. She woke up at 6 am. I wasnt ready to get up then so I went and got her and put her in bed w/ me until around 7:30. Which I dont think that hurts anything right?? Or am I defeating the purpose??

Anyways...another busy day for me. I have to go to town and get flea treatments for my cats and go and get a filter for Emilys air purifier...Woo Hoo..I need to get out and walk today...but not sure that will happen. DH has to go back to work today and he works 2-10 pm.

I will try my hardest to get out...especially since the scales bounced 2 lbs this week..lol and I know that little bean doenst weight that much.

What's up girls? Quick hello. Lots to do this morning.

Dinner last night ended up being a piece of pork rib that was leftover and a salad. Dessert was sugar free dark chocolate and some sugar free peanut butter.

HEY! At least it wasn't DQ!!!!!!!

My scale said 170.5 this morning! WOO!

Mandy, Melissa, Chels, etc... remember... NO spoilers! I'm only on chapter 4.

Breakfast has been a hard boiled egg.
Lunch will be a salad with leftover chicken, hb egg.
Dinner?? No clue.. fridge is virtually empty since we lost most of it and our freezer food is at a friend's.

Martha, I don't bathe Alison very often. Maybe once or twice a week, but as needed obviously when there's a spit-up or poop issue. I use Aveeno baby soap. My skin is super sensitive and I have eczema, and I have to use Aveeno and love it. I also use Aveeno baby lotion on her. I only really notice she needs a bath when her hair gets a little dirty.

Cyn, I thought you couldn't do low carb?

Tiffany,
