Its been a while...
I hardly ever take time to write in my journal anymore.I guess theres not a whole lot to write about..Work is not too bad.Busy at times.Alyse,my oldest is doing good.She calls me often and checks in with me.Her boyfriend may be taking a job in Houston.If he does she will come here to stay for a few weeks.I hope so.I havent seen her in a while and I really do miss her.Taylor,my nine year old is doing so good in school.I am so proud of her.Problem with her is her weight.Poor baby is overweight and I really dont know what else to do to help her.I try to make her eat right.But its hard to put a child on a diet.Especially when we dont eat right ourselves..Brianna,the baby is doing great.She will be 7 months Saturday.She is crawling,sitting up and pulling up.She says da da and tons of other baby talk.She is eating her babyfood twice a day now.My parents took her to get her shots Tuesday and she did really well with them..My wedding anniversary is tomorrow.7 years..To my husband its just another day.Isnt that a nice attitude??so you know what..I am saving my money and not buying him a gift either... So last night I took the girls to take their pictures.I won a package deal to take the girls and they dress them up really fancy..Well my oldest being overweight could not fit in any of the dresses.Her little heart was broken.She wanted to cry ,I could see it.And I did too.I wanted to just leave because I felt so bad for her.But I did promise her I would bring the two girls together somewhere else..I have to work Saturday.Its a local election so another 17 hour day...Other than that not a whole lot going on..Enjoying my life and feeling pretty good about everything.I havent told anyone this yet but I know I can share it here..We are going to start trying for another baby in November.I am so excited and worried all at the same time.some days I think I cant wait and other days I think maybe I shouldnt..I know that I want one more and I would love a son and I am not getting any younger.I will be 36 in February.So I need to go for it now... Thats all I have to report for now..

Glad to see you checking in with us and happy to hear all is well. Hope Alyse does come by and visit for awhile. They are all growing up so quick. All I can say about Taylor is that you all maybe need to do a lifestyle change with food and exercise. I keep saying our family needs to do the same thing. Easy to say, not so easy to do at times. Wishing you the best on getting pregnant quick and hoping the pregnancy will be perfect for you. BIG HUGS
Have you tried getting Taylor to excerise? Maybe as a form of play so that she doesn\'t exactly know she\'s exercising? Family softball games, long walks together, something like that? I know how painful it can be for a child to grow up with a weight problem...and it\'s so hard on their self esteem too! Big hugs to you and her!
Glad to hear all is well with the baby...and I wish you the best on your hopeful new pregnancy!
Lots of love sweetpea!
Tray- that is great! No, go for it. I would so love a baby.... just to breastfeed for days.Beautiful.
