re: August/September '07 Babies: Mommy Chat

Quoting DivaAveri:“ DIET??????????????????? YOU?????????? WHY?????? Seriously, Christina your freakin gorgeous! I dont see why you would want to. I think your such a hot momma the way ya are.  ”

I'm proportinate, but about 4 sizes bigger than I want to be. I used to wear a 7! Now I fit into 10/14. It depends on how it fits and where I get it. I'm also about 30 pounds heaver than I used to be. I would be happy to get to an 11/140. But I would like to be 135/9... We'll see.. I know I'm not Fat, but I'm not happy with my size, I look okay in pictures by myself, it's when I'm next to someone who used to be my size I have a problem...

It's not really a diet persay, but I am watching my calories, and changing my eating habits back.

Oh don't even get me started on the whole eating healthy thing. I was doing so well then all of a sudden BAM and I'm back to poor eating habits. I need to loose some weight. I'm not fat either BUT I could loose a few. I fit in all my old clothes but I have this big old tummy that I can't stand. I'm in a wedding at the end of June and I'm so thankful that my friend picked dresses with an empire waist!

Still, I think your a hottie. But whatever makes ya happy. Im on the other end of that battle so i understand completely.  

Meg: Sounds like an awesome online store your gonna make. I love your ideas/creations. I would LOVE to a at-home business but i have nothing really to offer. I mean, im artisitc but i dont have the time or patience. I can barely get my apartment clean or a do graphics let alone do anything else. So im really hoping you do really good. Maybe i'll buy a stocking from ya!

UGH! I hate teeth! Averi was so great this morning. Took her normal morning nap (only a half hour but oh well). Woke up all cuddly and smiley. She wanted to be loved and i gladly covered her in hugs and kisses. Then we went the kitchen to have lunch (she appeared hungry). Not even 10 min in her additude changed. She got really fidgety and crabby. Ate only 2/3 the container and a few puffs. So i put her in her walker, figuring she hates sitting still and wanted to move and Istarted the small amount of dishes. Well she freaks within 5min! So iquickly finishup and plop her in the living room. She then continues to freak, jamming everything in her mouth frantically and just whining. So i grab a bottle, then the tylenol and we chilled on the couch. After the tylenol and orejelll martini (lol) shefell asleepand is now napping her second nap. She was only up for like 2hrs though. *shrugs* I hope she wakes up better.
Anyone else's little one hate sitting in there high chair? I mean, Averi will only tolerate like a minute before NEEDING something to preoccupy her. I put toys on her high chair and even after that she will only be "nice" in it for maybe 15 min. It makes meal time soooo horrible anymore. She also ends up not eating the whole container (like normal), only to be hungry again later. I dont know what to do. Advise chiccas?

I am FAT - not big boned or plain old fat... F-A-T. It sucks. My pre pregnancy clothes I cant even get over my thighs. My eating habits really arent worse than pre pregnancy - I guess I just have to find time for more exersizing. I used to be a size 8-10 and now I am 14-16. I think thats PLUS SIZE! I am almost 5'11 so I am okay with being an 8-10. But THATS where I want to be - not frickin 16! lol. I will get there though - its not like I am trying to impress anyone. Kailyn loves me - even FAT me!

I know what you girls mean about the eating habits. I was doing sooo good at being healthy and had lost weight to where I was actually happy and think that I was looiking good in most of my clothes. then I got pregnant and could not eat healthy...I had to eat carbs all the time or I got sick...so now I am used to it and that is what I have been doing. So I need to lost 20lbs to be back at pre pregnancy weight. I HATE the way I look in clothes right now...my arms are fat my legs are fat and all my clothes are snug so I have the pooch over all of them but I REFUSE to buy new clothes because I HAVE to fit back into my old clothes I HAVE to.
Also to the other posts my son no longer likes his high chair eithe I used to be able to sit him in there and do stuff but now he fidgits the entire time he is always trying to get out and turn around. it has gotten to the point that I strip him to feed him because he gets food all over himself and I have stained too many shirts with those darn carrotts

Thats awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I waqnt to see some pics

Quoting jamils_mommy:“ Thats awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I waqnt to see some pics”

I only have a couple so far. I am kicking myself now for not taking pics of all my stuff when I made it! But I am going to put together some different arrangements just for the pics. Thats one of the reasons I know it will take me a couple weeks to get as much detail as I want.

oh man thats to bad, but you'll get there....  

jamil H-A-T-E-S the highchair.I have to turn on the tv in the dining room to even get him in and I can't use the tray either, but he dosen't want to eat anyways, well he likes puffs, yogurt and things he can chew,so purees are out, I have a ton of veggies, but I have to cook them, it sucks because he dosen't eat as much at all...

I was only able to eat spegettiwith butter and sherbert while I was pregnant...everything else made me want to puke.

Easton loves his high chair.... he sits in it while i make dinner and then continues to sit in it for dinner.

He really has always sat in it though, I started putting him in it around 3 months old. It reclines and I wanted to get him use to it.

yeah Dawson used to sit in his while I made dinner and then I could also do the dishes and put clothes in vacuum(which he is facinated by so it still works for that) and even do a little bit of homework...but now he starts getting fussy as soon as he goes in it

Jamil used to love it, but not anymore, the last week he has thrown a fit, unless I turn on the tv first, then he will stay in there for along while. He does well in resturant highchairs though... Not sure the difference.

you've all been busy with lots and lots of posts............i read couple of pages back, but all i can remember is meg's website which i think is a great idea, and i hope it works............and the latest topic body fat  
i was loosing weight like crazy because of the breastfeeding, so much that i was getting worried, but now that he breastfeeds less, i'm back to my pp weight, and i fit into everything i wore before i had him which makes me happy
people always say how i look like i was never pregnant which i guess is a good thing...........but i did excercise throughout the whole pregnancy, and i still do.........and i've always watched what i eat...........although i do have my days when i gotta have some cake   but i never eat junk food (like mcdonalds or taco bell), and i religiously never eat past 8pm
but people are meant to come in different shapes and sizes, and honestly i always find larger women a lot more sexier than some anorexic sickly looking models............like that plus size model on antm...........she's so much more sexier than the other girls

as for the high chair...........we don't really have one.........we have this http://www.philandteds.com/nz/metoo_07_1.htm
and phillip likes sitting in there............i guess it's because he sees everyone sit at the table so he feels like one of us
we never got a high chair because we don't have much room on the firs floor for it to fit...........plus i never liked the look of the big plastic ones, and the nicer wooden ones like the stoke are way too expensive...........so we got this thing, and it was pretty cheap so everyone's happy because i'm happy  

anyways........we spend every day almost the same............phillip is extremly good when it comes to keeping his schedule...........it's as if he has a built in clock...........i wonder if that'll all go to hell once his teeth start coming in..........and i'm being told that since he hasn't gotten any yet that they'll all come in at once..........so maybe that's better, just get it all out and over with........kinda

So for those of you with mobile babies...

can they go from crawling to sitting up? Easton can go from sitting to crawling (still the army crawl) but he cant get himself back up to sitting once he gets to where he wants to go. So he just cries until I go sit him up. And he can't pull up b/c he can't sit up... but if he is sitting up already he can pull up just fine.
