3 Months into the Journey...

So three months since surgery I have lost 23.5 pounds. I have had 3 weeks of no real loss, which is frustrating, but I get another fill on Monday which should change things up a bit. I can tell the difference in my clothes so that is plus. I have been able to tell when I am full and have learned to stop in time before feeling too full which is not a good thing for a bandster. Out for dinners, I am making healthier choices most of the time and cannot eat all I order as I use to. In fact there are times that me and both girls share an entree...hey, I am a cheap date now! I am looking forward to the next fill on Monday so I can hopefully feel fuller sooner so I eat even less. The doc said last time with 1 or 2 more fills I should be where he wants me. I am ready to get there!

Easter Fun!

Shiloh's Domestication for the USA!

We went to the Fayette County Courthouse this morning to have Shiloh's adoption Domesticated. She will get an American Birth Certificate of Foreign Birth. One more thing completed about her adoption. I think all we have left now is the 12 month update to China....

Shiloh's First American Haircut...

Shiloh gets her ears pierced!!!

When Dakota was born, I took her to get her ears pierced at about 2 months old. It was not a fun day. I had to be the one to hold her down and then she moved so even today one of the holes in her ear is not straight through but angled. Luckily it still looks fine from the front! Once home with Shiloh I thought about taking her but put it off. I just thought I would wait until she asked me about it one day. Shiloh is always looking at blogs of her friends from China and recently she saw Hope and Emma got their ears pierced. She wanted her ears done with pink! I told Chuck he had to do Shiloh's since I did Dakota's. We were out running errands yesterday and had mentioned to Shiloh we could go and get her ears pierced. She seemed happy about it, but we had to run some things home first. She was highly upset about that, so we knew she was ready. She thought we were staying home and she pitched a tantrum about it. So off we went again to Claires to get the deed done. She was very brave and luckily the ladies did both ears at the same time. She didn't move but then needed Mama for a minute. She had a few tears but wanted to see herself in the mirror. She was all smiles after that.

A day at the park...spring is here!
