A journey through the wild ride of being a first time mother

You can read every book on the shelf about being a parent and what to expect with your new baby, but the only true preparation is experiencing it first hand.

Yea so its been almost 2 months

Hello all, It's been a while and i have been told by many its time to update. So here it goes. We have been busy bees. I have been doing my "peel off the pounds" challenge still and i am down 12 lbs. I am pretty stoked about this, i struggled for so long to try to get my baby weight off and it just seems to be melting off now. There are only 10 days left in the challenge and i don't think i will reach my goal by then but i am going to continue my journey until i get to where i want to be. This week has been hard getting the motivation to go to zumba, because i have been doing it so much for the challenge i am getting a little burnt out doing it. So since it is finally nice, i think i am going to take a couple days off and finally get to use my jogging stroller for its intended purpose. 
I am at the stage right now where my clothes are either too big or too small still. My belt is even to big right now. Its not a bad problem to have but when you are trying to not buy any clothes because well you literally have a closet full of the ones that "used" to fit that you will fit into as soon as you reach your goal its a struggle. 
As for food, I am still sticking to my rules however i do have a few more cheats here and there so i don't go on a binge and eat everything in sight. The other night i ate a piece of WHITE bread with REAL butter on it and it was so good, it was like heaven in my mouth. It is a lot easier making healthy eating choices now that i am used to it.

As for Kendall, well we have definitely been experiencing the "terrible twos" there are someday when screaming fits and tantrums are all that happens. It gets so frustrating because she will only do it for me and as soon as i leave her with her dad or grandpa she is fine.
She is turning into a little daredevil. She tried to crawl out of her car seat this morning while we were driving and i had to yell at her a little bit and she seemed upset so hopefully that prevents her from trying to do it again. Her cousin Drextin is almost exactly a year younger then her and after watching him stand up on the 4 wheeler she decided she needed to do it as well. She couldn't see where she was going but she sure thought it was fun.

We had a great Easter, the Easter Bunny came and brought her a Minnie Mouse basket with a bunch of treats in it. We are trying to get her off of candy so we didn't put any in her basket since she would be doing an egg hunt at Jason's moms and would be getting candy there.


Lastly, we have been potty training and she is finally getting the hang of it. We were trying to do it while she was still in diapers and tried putting her in pull ups and she just wasn't getting it. So one day i decided we are just gonna start wearing panties. The first day was a little hard and she went through every pair of undies i sent with her to school so they had to put a diaper on her. But slowly over the next couple of days she got better and yesterday she had not one accident. She will tell you when she has to go potty but still hasn't figured out the whole going poo in the potty yet. She still wears diapers to bed but most mornings when she wakes up her diaper is completely dry and she will say she needs to go potty. We are very proud of her and she is really proud of herself. She does get upset when she does have an accident but we reassure her it is ok because well naturally she still isn't 100% potty trained and forgets she has to go sometimes. 

I am trying to work out a blogging schedule that will allow me more time to make posts. Its hard to find the time some days and then i get distracted and the next thing i know its been 2 months since i blogged. But since i have been better about setting goals for myself i am going to make up a schedule and get back on a blogging routine.
