MY WEIGHT AS I WAIT

Back in November 2006, I shared my journey of losing baby weight. At the time of the post, I had lost a total of 20 lbs but in the photo, it had only been 14. Well, as of today, my total loss is 25 lbs. (with some fluctuation thanks to this past girl scout cookie season). While the weight loss process is one that requires patience, so is this hair thing. We all want that "down to there hair" and it does come, but with patience. As I near my 3 year mark (14 May), I marvel at just how much growth I have achieved in a fairly small amount of time. But until I reach my goal, I'll just wait...

I REMEMBER...

.... the day that I found out I was pregnant with
my now five year old. It truly seems like yesterday.
I know it sounds trite and many moms can say the same thing about their children who are far into their adult years, but it's true. They grow up so fast, right before your eyes! This pic was taken at my oldest son's 5th birthday party. It really gives me the warm and fuzzies when I see this and other photos and just how much he's grown. Oh what a handful children can be at this age, but relish in the chaos and the unpredictability. As my mother would say, they will be grown before you know it.
