It's just an excuse!

"I don't have time to workout." "How do you have time to workout with 2 kids?" I had that mind set until one day I was sick of my clothes not fitting properly! Now I realize it's just and excuse and there is always time to do even just a small workout. I am about a week in on working out and feeling so much better! I will normally workout when my girls are sleeping in the morning or night and if I am feeling lazy I will skip the morning workout and do it in the afternoon and have Rylee do little workouts with me and little Miss Ryann will sit in her bumbo and watch. Its possible to workout with kids and be able to get everything else done in the day that needs to get done. No more excuses for me, my butt will get some kind of workout everyday even if it's just a few crunches:)
My goal is to get to 120 or 115 pounds. Before I got pregnant I was 108lbs which I felt is too small and would prefer to be at my goal weight. Bonus for me I wont have to lose all my baby weight I gained! As of right now I am down 30lbs and only have about 5 to 10 pounds more to lose. Honestly if I stayed at 125 I would be satisfied as long as these love handles and tummy pundge went away:)
I'm excited about my new life of working out and can't wait to see some big changes in my belly!!:)

Rylee is starting Preschool again on Sept 4th two days a week for 2 hours and we are so excited! I think she will finally be ok with being away from me and meet new friends. The awesome thing about it the preschool is literally walking distance from us:) Not only that she will also be doing dance on Wednesdays and then Gymnastics Saturday mornings! We are going to be one busy family,but it will be good and fun for all of us. 5 days a week of activities is going to be a good time:)
As for Ryann she is getting so big!! About 12lbs of solid chunk! I can't believe how chunky she is, but I love it so much. She has become such a smiley girl and has the sweetest smile ever. Still sleeping through the night, but I'm almost 90% sure she is teething already!! Rylee started this early and had 4 teeth at 4 months so this doesn't surprise me if that is the case with Ryann. You can tell she hurts and it breaks our hearts. I just hope they come through asap and not just hang out under there and give her crap for months:( I'm going to have another Daddy's girl on my hands that's for sure. She loves Aaron and is always watching him. Not only does she love her Dad, but she is crazy about Rylee! Rylee can always get her to smile huge! Rylee is such an amazing big sister:)

So thankful!

I don't even know how to put into words how loved I feel! I have been going through a rocky patch recently and today I have been swarmed with people's love and support. I am so grateful for that and for those of you that messaged or text me just to give me words of encouragement or to check on me I can't even express enough how wonderful that was for me. It definitely helped and I truly appreciated it!

1 month!

As of yesterday my sweet little firecracker hit 1 month! It's such a weird feeling, I can't really say time is flying because it still feels like she just came home yesterday. It does blow me away how big she is getting though! It's like the pounds are just adding on everyday! She has the sweetest double chin ever and a huge sassy attitude. She is just like her Momma, she knows what she wants and if it's not how she wants it then she will let you know!
Aaron and I can get her to smile every once in a while, but Rylee just a touch on Ryann's head will make her all smiles. It is so precious to witness and I can't wait till she starts smiling more. Sleep is better than it was, going from 2 hours to 4 hours is such a difference and I wont complain one bit....Ok I'm sure I will complain every once in a while! She is over all a good baby even though she has that sassy attitude, but I wouldn't trade her for the world:)

 I just have to add, I love peoples reactions when we tell them her name. Everyone is always so confused when you tell them. After about 30 seconds of staring at her wondering why in the world we would name her a 'boy' name they warm up to it really fast. I was a little worried about peoples reactions, but it has actually been very entertaining and fun!Hopefully Ryann feels the same way when she gets older ha ha!! Sorry boys with the name Ryan its much prettier for a girl ;)

Tried to make a shirt done with freezer paper, but I wasn't too happy with it. Maybe for next month i will come up with something different. She is still cute though and thats all that matters:)
