Checking in....

So things are still going well. Noah is still healthy and happy. And Mommy is loving it.... This week has been a busy week for Mr. Noah. Monday he got new AFO braces for his feet. He had grown out of his new ones. He now has Spiderman AFO's to match his Spiderman Sneakers that he wears with them... So he got those Monday and the PT & specialist wants him wearing them 30 minutes a day to start out with in hopes that he will one day wear them for most of the day!!!

Wednesday we went to the PCP for a 3 month follow up. IT HAD BEEN 3 MONTHS since he had seen him! So that was exciting. They weighed him and measured his height at this visit and he now weighs 33lbs 11oz!!! He is getting big!! And he is 41 inches tall!!! Wow!!! I can remember when we were struggling to get past 18 lbs and we have now almost doubled it!!! The doctor was impressed at how well he is doing this winter especially since winter is always our toughest time keeping him from all the respiratory illnesses. Lets hope it stays this way!

Im really working on getting some weight off and have been using a very helpful site called myfitnesspal.com which helps me to keep track of my calories and burned calories thru my exercises. Ive worked out in some fashion for the last 2 weeks only missing one or two days. I've found that I really enjoy going to the pool and swimming to workout and didnt realize how many muscles you use to swim until I went and when I woke up the next day "FELT" all the muscles I had used :)
I also switched to some oral meds for my diabetes right now because I was really struggling with the insulin making me hungry while I was trying so hard to loose this wieght. So until that pregnancy test gives me a positive reading Im using oral medications to control my diabetes for the most part. I am continueing my bedtime insulin but thats fine...
I also have found that drinking more water isnt all that bad.... although I have cut my intake on soda down extremely and have been struggling lately with headaches from the caffiene withdrawal. So Im increasing my soda just a bit and drinking it first thing in the morning in hopes this will help. I will still get in my water I promise but these headaches are really a bummer... I figure I will make smaller adjustments in my soda intake and hope that this helps with my headaches... Erik tells me Im detoxing from soda slowly but surely!!
Just like everything else I need to use my motto "one day at a time"
I lost 1.75lbs last tuesday so I hope that number gets bigger and bigger!!
