Up and Up

I am finally starting to feel like things are looking up! It's wonderful!

Okay, yes, some of that is positive talking to help me see the good side of things ... but I'm getting there.

The quick medical update is that apparently I am FINE. Kidneys are good and clear, and apparently I might just have some muscular strain going on in my lower back. Saw the GI doc and he said all of my labs with him look good other than my Celiac levels - which I knew. I am soooo working on this though! I am really trying to do this again, and eat correctly. He said I need to take better care of myself too - more walking, water and fiber ... so that's the plan. As of this morning I am 2lbs lighter than I was when I started both my pregnancies - woo hoo - and I am hoping the walking, water and fiber will help me keep loosing (35 more until "almost" wedding weight).

So with all of that handled now and I know there is nothing seriously wrong me, I can put that energy I was wasting on to other more productive things ... like the princesses!

The big news is that P1 is finally pulling up to a stand at the couch!!! And she's doing it like a pro! I swear she waits to do things until she knows for sure she can really do them. Just like when she started climbing up the steps ... one day it was 2 steps, the next day it was the full run of 13! She amazes us every day! She will be starting outpatient speech therapy soon, and I can't wait to hear how much more she is going to be telling us!

P2 is growing like a weed. She will be 4 months old tomorrow. We have her 4 month well visit next week, and I am sure she is going to be off the charts with her growth. I think we may be starting cereal soon to help fill her belly up. She's been in her crib in the same room with P1 for about a week now, and doing well with it. Little sad to be thinking about taking the bassinet out of our bedroom, but happy for the hubby and I to have our bedroom back to ourselves again.

Putting this all in writing and recapping the milestones my little princesses are achieving is making me realize just how quickly they really are growing up. I keep thinking about how P1 will be starting preschool next year, and the thought of researching and selecting the right preschool setting for her just seems so overwhelming ... put that is another though for another day.
