May 18, 2009

I actually am trying to do the least amount possible for my back to heal but it's hard when you are breastfeeding. I'm on day 9 today and normally it only takes me 2 to recover when my back goes out. It didn't help having DH working all day this last week.

We are starting a scrapbooking group on the last Wednesday of the month at my friends house. I would love to get DD's first year album finished by Christmas for her and have LM's at least started if not almost finished too since he will be one in January. That's my goal at least.

Today DH met with the national guard again. He actually saw another Sargent today and he recommended DH do the EMT training and then go to school to be a physicians assistant (he can't be deployed while in school) and that would cover most of the years of his service. Also if he does well enough in school they pay his normal wages on top of the cost for school. This sounds like one of the best options so far. We are thinking everything over and praying about it to know if this is what would be best for our family. He had his physical exam on Friday. I had my mom help me with the kids while he was gone. It was fun to visit with her and she sent me to bed for a nap. It was wonderful!

This evening we got together with friends again (the boys went to see Star Track) and us girls chatted till they got back and we had pizza together. It was a fun relaxing night. LM is on a better feeding schedule today so I am hoping he sleeps longer stretches tonight and can get back to his normal schedule before we went on all our vacations and he was sick. He slept from 7-12am last night, I fed him and then he slept till 5:45am and then to 8:30 after another feeding. Tonight I fed him at 9:15 and he was put to bed at 9:45pm so hopefully he will sleep to 5 or 6 if I'm lucky like he has before!

"May I change your diaper?"-- "Sure". . .

I still need to loose my last 10 lbs but I know that won't happen with my sweet tooth. I can be good for a day but then I'm terrible the rest of the week. Just have to have my cookies or ice cream!
