The post with no name

I don't really have a name for this post. It's going to be another random post. First off here is the picture of the cake Jim made for my mom.

I think he did a pretty amazing job :)

The blessings went really well. Will cried through most of his. Ellie was great. She loves to be the center of attention. We got a really good picture of our whole family.

You can tell Ben wasn't feeling great. He wouldn't smile. But He's doing much better now. He was kind of off all weekend. Poor little guy. He wasn't off enough to not go on the trampoline (or the "jumpoline" as my neice calls it) He loves to go on it.

I went to my doctor on Friday to get back on Metformin. She is great and just prescribed it for me. She did take blood to check my glucose levels and my thyroid levels. The nurse called me today and said my glucose levels are fine but my thyroid levels are low(hypothyroidism) so I am going on thyroid medication. Hopefully it will help me lose weight.

We were watching tv today (surprise, surprise) and there was a commercial for a Barbie on. Ben said "I want Batman to kill that girl." WTF?! I said "what did you say?" He said "I want Batman to kill that girl." I asked "why?" He said "because she sings" Nice.

Later he was taking off his clothes and I asked him why he was doing this. He said "It will make you laugh"

I sure do love that little psycho kid.

This, That and the Other

Wow I am slacking on my blogging. There really isn't anything especially exciting going on in our lives so this will be just a hodgepodge of stuff :)

Sleep

The other night Will and Ellie went to sleep at 8:30 (and 9:30 - Ellie is my night owl) and didn't wake up until 5:17am!! After they nursed they went back to sleep until Will woke up at 8:00 and Ellie woke up at 9:00  The only problem was Jim and I had stayed up until midnight watching a movie but it was still AWESOME.

Messy Boy

I have such a problem just letting Ben be a boy and get dirty but I am working on that. The other day I let him go out and play in the mud. This is the results

This is Ben when you give him stickers

And this is Ben when you give him a pudding cup

So Big

My babies are so big now. We put them in the exersaucer friday and they LOVED it! (Well Will loved it. Ellie was ok in it) I can't believe they are so big.

They hate tummy time so they don't roll over yet. They are almost 4 months old so I think this is a little behind but I'm not sure. (adjusted age is 3 months)I'm going to have to work on tummy time more often.

Update on Mommy

I'm having some horrible neck pain on my left side. I think it's because my computer sits on the left side of the couch so I have to turn my head to use the computer. It's killing me right now. I've been putting heat on it hoping it will help.

I'm also constantly STARVING. I just want to snack ALL THE TIME. I've been craving sweets litke you can't believe. I hate it. I'm not sure if the constant hunger is because of the constant breastfeeding but I'm going to have to make a severe effort to only snack on healthy foods so I don't put on a million pounds.

I'm going to talk to my PCP about getting back on Metformin for my PCOS. I'm hoping it will help me to lose the weight again.

I think that's everything for now. I'm exhausted and my neck hurts
