In a bloggy mood

I have so much I should be doing right now. The house is always needing to be picked up or something cleaned, there's laundry, walking on the treadmill ( which I need to do desperatly!), etc. But I just finished my school work for the day and have about 15 minutes before Cheyenne usually wakes up and Hailey is actually asleep right now too. She's had quite a difficult morning. She took a good 1st nap, but woke up 45 minutes into her second one. She had spit up all in her crib and was crying. Hailey rarely cries when it comes time to go to sleep. Usually her crying is because she has to burp or pass gas. That seems to be the culprit 99% of the time. So what is life been like lately? Well, Cheyenne got a cold a couple of weeks ago that is still lingering, mainly just the runny nose the last few days. Hailey got the cold too, as well as William. Hailey also developed a double ear infection and after changing up antibiotics it is finally clearing up. She is still congested though.

Hailey has been doing wonderful at night for the most part. She has her last feed anytime between 7:45-8:15 and is usually asleep by 8:30. She will then sleep anywhere from 5-6 1/2 hours. She has another feed usually between 1:30-2:30 and will then sleep until around 7am. She does stir around 6 or so, but the paci usually holds her off until 7. For a 6 week old baby, I'm impressed! Cheyenne is going to bed easily for us these days. Just read her a couple of books or let her watch about 15 minutes of Dora and pop her into the crib. She lays right down with her baby and I don't hear from her until about 8am. Thank you Lord for that little bit of relief! My day is fairly busy. Hailey is napping every 1 1/2 or so and that takes alot of my time, putting her down. I sometimes feel like I'm neglecting Cheyenne and I know she is watching WAY too much t.v. these days, but I have to keep her somewhat quiet while I'm putting Hailey down.

Did I mention how smart Cheyenne is getting? Cheyenne's vocabulary has just boomed in the last couple of weeks. She knows "Josh, Jenny, Poppa, Katie, Nana, Emma (which she says "ma"), daddy, mommy. Her favorite new words are "no" and "mine." I think she learned "mine" at school. She is also learning colors. She knows blue and purple. Sometimes she gets green and red right..usually most everything is "bue."

I really need you guys to pray for me. Pray that I can find the time and energy to get back into shape. It's been pretty cool here today so I tried on my jeans. BIG MISTAKE! None of them fit. I refuse to buy news ones. I just have to get at least 20lbs off of me. But when? At 6 am before the girls are up? After they are in bed at 9pm? I just don't have the energy, especially when doing a middle of the night feeding and sometimes up for an hour to 2 after that because Hailey is battling gas. I am trying to get out and walk with them during the day, but Chey doesn't last long in the stroller and it's been too warm to leave Hailey in the carrier for too long. I guess the fact that I don't have time to sit and eat a meal helps either. Breakfast usually consist of a Smart Ones english muffin and from then on it's down hill. Lunch is non-existent. Then why aren't I losing weight? Because I snack. I think that I forget how much I'm eating because I'm snacking all day. A yogurt here, a Fiber bar there, a few pringles.... usually it's all healthy stuff, but it adds up! Anyway, I guess that's enough rambling.
