Doctors and Love Affairs

Okay, so is she cute or what? We went to the doctor today (at 7am mind you, which is not fun for any mother!) and everything is going perfectly! I was a little concerned about a few things but the doctor made me feel tons better!

She's been spitting up a lot more than usual lately, which the doctor said could be related to one of my other worries: teething. That's right, my four-month-old booger has already started teething! I was wondering whether she really was or not since she hasn't had any cut yet, or really any swelling of the gums or anything, but the doctor said he thought she was as well from what I was describing. So mleh to all the people who made fun of me when I suggested it!

We were also worried because she isn't rolling over. She hates being on her stomach, so I don't know why we could expect her to try and roll over to it! But he said since she is rolling to her side at least, all the muscles are there. He also said she was doing better than expected at sitting and standing, so she may sit before she rolls!

The only bad thing was we got two shots today, she did amazing though, hardly cried at all. And I didn't cry at all this time! Last time I bawled for like ten minutes! Guess I'm getting tougher! Parenting will do that for sure.

So we celebrated by trying a new food: carrots! She absolutely had a love affair with it. We've tried apples and pears so far, and since those are so sweet and delicious I figured she'd hate the veggies. But she seemed to like them more than she liked pears.

We're spending the rest of this rainy day snuggling, doing homework and watching goosebumps. I'm a proud momma and a happy girl!

Snot Removers and Muffins

My little girl is sick today. This is her first cold where it has actually effected her. So needless to say she is going to be super spoiled with cuddles. Josh actually came in and woke me up (Sunday is my day to sleep in) saying that she was having trouble breathing. I was incredibly scared. After some serious booger sucking on my part she was okay, but I haven't taken my eyes off of her. He said she was laying on her play mat, and he noticed she was moving funny and her face was red, and when he picked her up she started coughing like she couldn't breathe. I'm hoping she was okay the whole time and he just moved around some fluids when he picked her up making her cough, instead of her just choking without making a noise.

So she is sitting next to me, looking hilarious while she sleeps.

Also, I am on this awful diet. It starts off with a ten day cleanse where I can only eat chicken, tuna, all fruits and vegetables, rice and water. Which I mean, isn't too hard, but it sure is awful. I am losing a ton, but I really want a muffin. And since I'm actually losing weight, I've stopped working out to lose weight, which is kind of counterproductive.

I really want to eat something that tastes delicious. But oddly enough, all the fast food and fried food I usually am craving is starting to sound pretty gross now that I've been eating incredibly healthy the past few days. Brownies and muffins still sound pretty good though, I'd kill for a blueberry muffin and hot chocolate from starbucks.
