I need to get better...

at this blogging business.
So this is week 3 of work and I am still not quite used to being back. I don't mind working, but I liked having my days free to get my errands done, play with Lizzy, and clean a little (ha, that didn't happen a lot, but at least I had the option!) I don't think I am cut out for being a stay at home mom (God Bless you if you are!) but I could definitely work part time.
Lizzy is coming up on being 15 weeks old. I have no idea where the time has gone. She is so full of personality, it is just so much fun! She smiles all the time, she giggles when I do stupid voices and make a complete fool of myself trying to get her to do so and she is so, so close to rolling over from her back to her tummy-I am just waiting to find her on her tummy one day. She is happiest in the morning, sometimes she is so happy she won't eat...which causes problems when I have to go to work b/c there isnt a lot of extra time built into the schedule. But I appreciate that she is happy that early, but I rarely am ready to start my day at that hour.
She still isnt sleeping through the night. For awhile around 6 weeks she was, but that didnt last too long. She gets up about once a night, eats, and goes right back to sleep. While Don is nice enough to offer to get up it is just so much easier for me to go in there and breastfeed her.
Lizzy went to her first wedding this past week. Uncle Alex married his long time girlfriend Megan. Don and I were both lucky enough to be part of the wedding party (Don was the best man and I was an usherette.) We had to coordinate someone to come and watch Lizzy at the church so no one in the family had to worry about her, and then my sister was nice enough to be waiting at our house so Lizzy could go home after the ceremony. It was nice for Don and I to have a kid free night :)
This is a picture of Lizzy with her great-grandpa. I was lousy at taking pictures since I was busy ushering but hopefully someone will have some (I know the photographer took some of her looking super cute :)).

The bib came off for the formal pictures, dont worry :)

So what else is new....not much. This is a really random post so I will just add some more randomness in bullets...

• I am one pound away from my pre-pregnancy weight. While this is great, my goal is to lose another 37 lbs. I am doing Weight Watchers again (I did it before I got pregnant and lost 40 lbs) and I love that I am nursing b/c I get 14 extra points.
• I am signing up to run the Twin Cities 10K. Yes, I am crazy. Yes, my only goal is to not die.
• Don is running the Twin Cities 10 Miler. 
• Both of us trying to train for races (I should put race in quotes b/c I will not be racing anyone!) will be interesting. I feel bad taking time away from Lizzy during the week but I am doing this to get in better shape...and a happy mom is a happy babe. So Don and I are trying to devise a plan so we both can get our runs in.
• I turn 29 tomorrow. I will not be turning 30 next year.
• We are going out for my birthday on Friday. We are going to dinner and then to see Harry Potter. Don asked if I wanted to go out on my actual birthday but I said no b/c I have to weigh in on Wednesday and I know if I eat out I will not eat well :)
• We are going out of town two weekends in August. I am nervous I will forget something at home that Lizzy will want. It should be interesting to see how much I pack!
• Pumping three times a day at work is getting old. My goal of 6 months seems so far away. But at the same time I am a lot more attached to nursing her than I ever thought I would be.
• Speaking of pumping...I need to go do that now!

I will try and be more regular in my posting. And next time I will post more cute pictures of my babe! :) Most of my good pictures are actually on my phone which is dead right now so I can't send them to my email!
