That which does not kill us...

...makes us stronger, or at the very least clinically insane. My long journey through infertility, adoption (and now parenting), and weight loss.

Time to get caught up

I just realized that it has been weeks since I have read other people's blogs. I normally checked my fav's every day (about 30 of them). So I have made it a goal to get caught up with everyone by the end of this weekend.

And since we are getting caught up here is what I've been up to:

Jackson is a little over six months now, can you believe it??? He has been crawling since before Christmas and has 7 teeth already. His height is still off the charts and weight is having a hard time keeping up. He is sitting well trying to pull himself up to standing. We had to lower the crib because the standing is imminent. He has such a little personality now, we love every minute with him. He hardly fusses or cries and is still sleeping all the way through the night (7:30pm-7:30am). He is outgrowing most of the 6-9 month clothes, especially if they are one piece. We go to the doctor next week for his 6 month checkup. He hasn't been sick at all yet, so we count our lucky stars for that.

He is also enjoying the car/carseat and stroller more now. I swear that I had the only kid on the planet who hated both of those things for the first four months of his life.

We also finalized the adoption on December 30th so that was a huge weight lifted too. We have his birth certificate on the way, then I can work on getting him a social security number and passport. So hopefully that will be done by spring.

Weight loss is not the right term. So far it is purely weight maintenance. I am holding steady still at 191, but am elated that I haven't put a bunch of it back on considering how reckless I have been with the eating and little to no exercise these past few months.

I had been experiencing a lot of back problems, but have been seeing a chiropractor for about a month. I go in three times a week for adjustments and rehab. I am on a bunch of machines (upper body cycle, wobble board, lat, ab, back, thigh, neck, etc.) . And whatever they (or I) am doing is working. My back feels a hundred times better and I feel stronger by the day. Now I just need to add my cardio back into the mix and I should be hunky dory.
