Trying to get Fit

Well, i'm not pregnant anymore, I've been released from the doctor, the time as come to shed all these unwanted pounds! I have NEVER felt so unattractive in my life! I can't believe I felt so sorry for myself on bedrest and just ate and ate! So now it's time for some self discipline, a good diet, and some hard work! I started the p90x program today and oh my gosh is it hard! This fatty can't even do one TRUE push up much less a pull up! Not sure how I'm suppose to get fit doing something I can't even do properly! I'm also fixing to start the couch to 5K program! I think if i will just put my headphones on and get to it i'll learn to like running again...once i get back in to shape a little! I've learned that if I ever start to see some results i'm hooked! I love it because i tell myself, "if i lost this much doing this think how much i could lose doing this." Why is losing weight so hard though! It's so easy to curl up on the couch with a movie instead of heating the road! Wish me luck!!

On a lighter note, I'm the proud owner of an 06 pewter Z71 tahoe! We ran down to Abilene saturday after Mr. Wright got off work and traded! I'm loving it! It's so much bigger than our pathfinder and it's got all kinds of fun things! It has a dvd player for Wade (which we won't need for about a year) and a sunroof and heated seats for mommy! Wade did great for such a long trip! We figured we drove a little over 400 miles from 1 to 11 p.m saturday! Thankfully he loves the car and slept pretty much the whole trip!

A Child Changes your thinking...

I knew that our little man would change our views on life but it cracks me up just how much Mr. Wright's thinking has changed. Two weekends ago Wade and I went to my parents house for the weekend, Mr. Wright had to work so he stayed here. Well, Sunday he called me and said he thought we needed a new couch and he was at Ashley's looking for one. How random...my tight husband thinks we need a new couch? Sure enough, I got home and not only had he bought a couch but a leather one at that. Now why does this matter you ask?? A year ago I begged Mr. Wright for a leather couch but he said even if we were going to buy a couch it would not be leather...now he says leather will be easier to clean when wade starts walking. OK I agree with that. So last week he calls me to tell me to check my e-mail and what do i find?? A picture of a car! Yes, that's right ladies and gentlemen, now he says we need a bigger car with air vents in the back for Wade! It cracks me up what a baby can do! So tomorrow we are headed to Abilene to look at a Tahoe we found! It's going to be another short but fun weekend!! Here are a few more pics of the kid!!

this and that

Well, i've managed to do it again! I've gone three months with out even looking at my blog! You would think I would have been on here all the time since i was on bed rest for three months..but i wasn't!

As most of you know..our precious boy entered into this world on August 30th at 11:02 p.m. 6 lbs 9 oz and 20 inches long! I delivered at 36 weeks and 2 days and although he was early i was never more ready! After 2 weeks in the hospital worrying, 3 months on bed rest worrying, monitoring twice a week, and that dang progesterone shot weekly it was time! Wade and i were both ready! He had been sitting on my cervix for several months!

I was up all night Saturday night having contractions, so early Sunday morning Mr. Wright took me to the hospital where i was monitored in triage for an hour. Dr. Killeen came by and said i was barely dilated to a 1 and that he felt i had another week or so in me so he gave me an ambien and i went home and slept! After 4 hours of sleep I woke up to a huge contraction and my water broke! Mr. Wright and I made it to the hospital around 6:30 and at 11:02 Wade arrived! Thankfully he only had to be in the oxygen chamber for 5 hours instead of going to nicu.

I can't even begin to explain how wonderful motherhood is! I never imaged i could love someone so much! That only hours after holding him i would die for him! He was truly worth ever moment i had gone through to get him here (with the grace of God that is)! Our Lord truly is amazing! Here are a few pictures from the eventful day! enjoy!
