Going back to work

On Monday, I am going back to work for the first time since the end of February. I am a little nervous because while I was on maternity leave the NICU at children's moved to a much bigger and "better" unit. All of the other staff have had a month to get used to the new unit, but I have not, so I feel as though I will be asking a lot of "where do we keep...", "how do I..." I am sure you get the picture. Adding in all of the other complex issues of child care, pumping because I am still nursing Adam, and just missing my little guy. I will let you all know how it goes...one bonus is that I fit into my scrub pants again, just not the tops (mainly because my chest is too big, I can't get the tops over it). But as long as my pants fit, I have plenty of t-shirts I can wear. Oh, well!

Weight Watchers

So, since the baby weight sort of stopped naturally coming off, and I know that I have not been eating very healthy, I decided to join Weight Watchers. So I went to my first meeting on Tuesday night, and enjoyed it, everyone was very nice there. After learning all about the points system and how to make healthier choices, etc, I decided to try it out. The first thing is that they give you a certain amount of points, and I get 32 points in a day, which is A LOT! I thought that I would most likely have a hard time eating all of that food, especially since I want to eat the healthier foods, and many of them are no or just a couple of points. So yesterday, I had six points left at the end of the day and the lady said I had to eat all of my points, so I had JR go and get me some peanut m&m's. Today, I am doing a little better because Adam is not so fussy and actually is letting me put him down for a few minutes, so I ate breakfast and a snack, and have my lunch and dinner all planned out with a healthy snack for the afternoon. It is funny how when you start thinking about what you are eating and putting in your body, how much easier it is to plan the meals right out. My problem before was that I was so consumed caring for Adam, that I would go half the day and realize that I had not eaten anything, let alone anything with any good substance. So now, that I am really thinking about it, I have been eating more, and healthier. So we shall see on Tuesday if I lost any weight...

Baptism Update: May 31st

Sorry, everyone for the confusion about the date of the Baptism for Adam. Our church is going thru some changes etc. So, Rev. Dize and I had to change the date of the Baptism to May 31st at 9 am at our congregations other church. So those who are interested in coming to the actual ceremony are more than welcome, but we are planning on having a party around 12 that afternoon, and we would take no offense if people only came to the party, and would prefer that because the Church where the Baptism is going to take place is quite small.

Baptism

Adam's Baptism is tentatively scheduled for June 14th. Please let me know if that date works for you all. We really want all of his "aunts and uncles" to be there!!!

Facebook...

I just opened a facebook account for my mom, so if you are on facebook please "friend" her. Her name is Patricia June Miller for the search or you can just look at my friends and "friend" her that way. Feel free to put her on limited profile if you don't want her to see everything that you do, she won't know the difference anyway! Bringing Patti into the technology age, next is J.R.
