Christmas did include Sophia saying over and over again, "This is the best Christmas ever." She melted everyone's hearts.
I'm just so relieved that my second mammogram came back just fine. Totally gives me a refreshed outlook on so many things!
So I am now down 43 pounds. I still can't believe how much I have lost. My weight loss was pretty much at a stand still for a few months. I was working out, just not as hard....and my diet wasn't where it should be from around October until December. Bob bought me another 12 weeks with my personal trainer so I've lost another 5 pounds recently. Well... I had gained back a few pounds, so I lost about 8 pounds in the last month. Something has come over me and I'm really getting addicted to the high of exercise lately. I started doing Zumba with my girlfriends and it's so much fun that I forget it's cardio. My trainer laughed at me when I said that and told me that if I forget I'm doing cardio, then it's not good cardio. LOL! Oh well... I only do it once or twice a week. The other couple of days, I go to the gym on my own and then work out with the trainer 3 times a week. I'm also going to do my first 10K in February. I'm really pumped up for it too! I wanted to do a 10K last November, but I had an injury and didn't work out for a few weeks. I am really loving the energy that I have now with all this exercise. I love that it's getting addicting! I really want to drop another 20-25 pounds and get into the best shape I've been in since back in my skating days. I'm so determined!
I simply cannot believe that the girls will be 3 years old in just one little month. Seriously! Where did the time go? I need to figure out what I want to do for their birthday party. They will also be starting preschool. At least the school district is planning to put Morgan and Rachel in the same class. We weren't sure before, but they recently let me know that they understand I can't be in 3 places at once. For that, I am thankful!
I'm really going to miss the girls' therapy team. They've been a part of our family for a year and a half now. They've been so encouraging to me and so awesome with the girls. I don't know what I'm going to do without them. I know we're moving on to the next season of our lives. The good thing is that I've gotten close with a few of the therapists and we already plan to hang out when they no longer "work" for us.
Rachel's feeding therapy has been going really well. She's really taking to Julie, her new therapist, very well. She gets excited when we get to the center and loves all the "toys" she plays with there. She is so close to eating an apple. She is still putting apples to her mouth, but just hasn't actually eaten one yet. I see a lot of progress with her, so I'm excited for what's to come. I am still bitter about how much we have to pay for all of this, but she needs it.
Morgan is talking so much now. I'm seriously not in denial about her PDD-NOS diagnoses, but I truly wonder if she'd still get that diagnoses if she were retested today. She has just come out of her little shell and is interacting so well. She says the funniest things. Right now, if something isn't working (or she thinks something isn't working) she says, "oh no, it's broken." Everything is broken. If one of her shows is over, it's broken. She cracks me up.
Wow... I am falling asleep. I guess this is it for tonight. I really want to post more even if it's just random stuff. For now.... I'm out!
