Random Thoughts

I haven't blogged in a little while so I will add some random thoughts. I forgot to blog about Izzy's cast removal last week, she got it off on Tuesday and was a champ! We thought she would be scared of the loud noise of the saw but she actually laughed when they cut it off, it must have tickled from teh vibration. She started moving it right away and she is back to normal...yipee! The xray showed it is healing well and no more cast was needed! Yipee, I am so glad that is done, giving her a bath with the cast was not so fun!

Other Izzy developments, lets see she still isn't really talking, but she does say moooo(or more like boooooo) when you ask her what a cow says or if she sees a cow. We took her to the petting farm last weekend and the cow came right up to the fence and we could even pet it! She also got to see lots of baby pigs which she loved! Can't wait for warm weather so we can do more outside. It is actually supposed to be nice this weekend so I can't wait. We definately have cabin fever!

Oh and an update on her sleep. I think that night last week her mouth was just really bothering her because she was fine the next several nights. The poor kid has like 5 teeth coming in at one time, i noticed yesterday that I think the top center 2 finally poked through and then a bottom one popped also, so I think she has 2 more on the top trying to make it through also. It has to hurt. Last nigth ws the first night she got up in the middle of the night and I just went up gave her tylenol and origel and rocked her for 5 minutes and she was back out until morning......phew!

This is the last week of my workout class/biggest loser challenge. I am so sad it is over but still might continue on to the next class, I am waiting to see if the DJ comes through with getting me a free membership, if he does then I think I am going to take the next class which is more weight training based and way mor intense, i took the demo class on Saturday and my legs were sore for 3 days!. Still 3x a week only it will be in the morning instead of noon like I do now. Izzy will have to go the child care at the club 2x a week because my mom will not be available monday and wednesday but I think that will also be good for her. I took her there last friday and she did great! She loves being in new places and around other kids. I also will find out Friday at our weigh in if I win.....I hope so! I am hoping to be down a total of 15lbs! I am definately the smallest size i have been in my adult life. I have bought some new clothes lately and all the pants have been a size 8! I can't remember being a solid size 8 ever in my adult life, maybe for a year or so in college.....I am proud of myself! I just hope that if I don't take the next class that I am able to continue working out on my own.

Oh and we got our taxes completed and YIPEEEEEEE is all I have to say. We are getting so much money back and will still have $2500 of the adoption credit to carry over next year! We got to apply most of it this year and get it back which I am so thrilled about! Maybe we will actually be able to afford to do it again...........on that front I think we are both kind of thinking that we will get everything submitted by summer some time....there is still a small part of me that doesn't want to start over but the larger part wants Izzy to have a sibling, as scary and overwhelming as the idea of doing it again is. I would like them to be 2-3 yrs apart so if we wait till end of summer to submit everything and it takes 6 mo to a year we will be in good shape. I really can't imagine having a newborn right now. I know people do it everyday but I don't think I am ready...and neither is DH.

Okay well I guess that is enough random thoughts flying out of my head!
