He Has a Bedtime!

Yes, that's right, my son has a bedtime! WooHoo! Well, I should say a decent bedtime. He's been pretty much sleeping through the night since he was 6 months old. (Although I could be remembering things wrong...) Anyway, he's never really had a bedtime. As hard as I would try he just would NOT go to sleep before 10pm! It drove me nuts because Ronnie and I would never get any alone time together. *I* would never get any alone time... I'm usually tired by 10pm.

So get this... he's been going to bed at 7:30pm for the past week! Of course with the earlier bedtime means no more sleeping in for me. He's been getting up between 6:30 and 7:30am. That's really not a problem during the week though because I've been getting up early to go walk with my mom and sister. It's just the weekends I'm gonna hate... I'm going to miss sleeping in with my husband! Oh well.

On another note, HE HAS ANOTHER TOOTH! That makes a total of 2 teeth! Haha... My poor little man. Why couldn't he have started teething at 6 months like any other normal baby? His two front teeth on top look like they're going to be next.... What fun!

What a day!

Yesterday was a hard day.

Camron, who is now almost 13 months old, only has one little tooth that just barely came in right before his 1st birthday. What does this mean for me (ok, and him)?? It means that I have a one year old who's getting ready to have all of his teeth come in at once. So let me rephrase my previous sentence:

Yesterday was hell!

Camron was not himself at all. He was tired, whiny, cranky, throwing fits for no reason, didn't want to eat, wanted to eat, changed his mind again, wanted the pacifier, didn't want the pacifier.... I was pulling my hair out by the end of the day. Needless to say, we went to bed at 9pm last night - BOTH OF US!

Other things that made my day just that much lovelier (notice the sarcasm here):

1. Lizz and I were supposed to hang out, but she ended up falling asleep a little after noon and didn't wake up til like 5. I wondered all day what happened to her. I really don't mind though - I wouldn't have wanted to put Lizz and C through all of Camron's temper tantrums. It just would have been nice to get out of the house for a little change. Lizz if you're reading this, I still love ya! We'll just have to hang out another day!!

2. The maintenance people woke up Camron from his nap! I had FINALLY gotten Cam to lay down... Had to bribe him with a bottle... and no later then about 20 min in to his nap there were people on my front porch!!! Get this - the maintenance people (a man and a woman) were on my porch plugging in a TV to see if it worked. (We have 2 outside outlets right next to our front door....) Apparently someone threw out a TV in to the big industrial sized dumpster that sits right out side my house. (Gotta love Lincoln Military Housing! I'll have to get a picture later of this eyesore.) Well all the racket they were making caused Camron to wake up. Stupid people! Ugh. If I wasn't trying to keep Cam asleep I would have opened my front door and asked if I could have helped them... in the rudest possible voice!

3. The new next door neighbors are the loudest people ever!!! The walls in these townhouses are super thin. You can't be playing your stereo with the bass and volume turned up as loud as possible. You just can't. Period.

4. Ronnie's cell phone got shut off by Sprint just because we didn't pay the bill on the 25th. Ugh. The nerve! (There's that sarcasm again!)

I'm sure I could go on about my horrible day yesterday, but I can hear Camron starting to wake up!

1st Sunday Weigh In

Current weight: 163lbs

I knew my weight was a little off from my guess. So there ya go... My first weigh in of many. I'm hoping that by next week I'll actually be at 160! So far I think I'm doing pretty good. Well, as good as Camron will let me be. More of his teeth are starting to come in so he's been really moody, clingy and whiny! That makes exercising a little difficult. I tried to get a 30 min workout in yesterday, but he kept trying to climb up my legs. He just wanted to be held all day!! So frustrating. And we couldn't walk because it was raining all day long.

As for eating I think I'm doing a lot better. I'm paying attention to the suggested serving sizes on foods I eat and eating a lot less! I did cheat yesterday though. =( Ronnie wanted Jack in the Box for dinner so I picked it up after my trip to Wal-Mart. I think I did pretty good considering it's fast food. I got the grilled chicken with a Lemonade Lite to drink.... not the sandwich, just straight grilled chicken. (I've never noticed it on the menu before...) Ok, I also had a few of Ronnie's curly fries, but that's it!

Nothing else is going on right now, just wanted to update my progress. =)
