The Weaning Challenge & Other Things!

There is so much on my mind and instead of having a bunch of posts, I'm adding them together!

-It's been 5 full days since Amelia has nursed at all. It's been a battle let me tell you. A lot of crying, hard nights and hard nap times but we are getting through it. I've been reading some different things and nothing says to just quit, but to ease into it. That's what we started with but that was not working, it was confusing her more than anything. She is still asking, but it's getting a lot better. Let me tell you, you may think you have something mastered with one child and the next is completely different. On a good note, I haven't even had to pump - felt no change what so ever. Could it be from being pregnant?

-My muscle separation on my stomach is already at 3 fingers, that's what I ended up with after I had Amelia. It kind of scares me but I hear I have nothing to worry about this pregnancy. However before the next one I really need to tone up, maybe that will help. No wonder my belly button is fully popped! We're still toying with the idea of an ultrasound - hmm!

-My review blog is getting a bit crazy. I'm so happy to have so many companies interested, it makes it a lot easier than finding the companies myself. However not all the companies asking for reviews pertain to our family. So.. my good friend Teri is jumping in on the action. If only I would have given this some thought sooner because there has been a lot that she could have been doing. Look for her guest posting soon. On another note - everyone and their brother, sister, mother and friend is doing reviews now. I get so many e-mails on how to start up I have a feeling some sites (maybe even mind) are going to dwindle away. I really do not mind the e-mails though, I got started with nothing so I wish them the best, it's just crazy. I really though have no idea how it works with everyone wanting to do reviews. I've had companies I've contacted tell me that there is just to much of a demand anymore with people wanting to review. I don't know, when I started I don't think there were half this many sites. Hmm!

-Lent, oh the lovely start of lent. Kurt and I decided to give up fast food. Yes it's a problem here. I hate to cook, I really do - I despise it. I think this will get us back on track of eating healthier and not going out as much. This is really going to be hard for me, but that's what it's all about. My other two things I'm doing may seem dumb to others, but I need to do it. I'm going to try to be a better housewife and incorporate Christ into my chores like from the Holiness for Housewives book. When I got pregnant things went downhill here. I spent the last few days getting things back in order and I'm ready to keep it that way (the best I can without going crazy - I do have two little kids and I'm a preggo). I really cannot stand a dirty house though, it makes me feel icky and well it's gross. The other, I'm going to try to get more religion based activities into the kids lives. We used to pray at random times, watch our videos, pray a decade together, but what happened.. oh I know.. a sick momma! LOL! So.. I still want to do something that has to do with Kurt and I, but we have yet to discuss it.

Have a lovely weekend. Sara and Jake come home today, they called the other night. I was freaking out. They went to Iberostar Del Mar if you want to look it up on google search. Kurt and I went to Iberostar Quetzal, - heavenly!!!! If you do, tell me what you think!
