In 2006 I embarked on a new adventure...becoming a mom. This blog is about the pregnancy, aspects of life afterward, starting my life in a new role as mommy...and anything else in between.

It's been a long time since I've posted. I've been so busy with a lot of different things, including going to the gym to lose the excess 10 lbs. from the pregnancy. I hired a personal trainer last week. I'm really excited about it because I need some refreshing on working out and eating habits. I'm trying to eat healthier and have been cooking at home pretty much every night. I haven't lost any weight, but I haven't gained any either. I'm sure the personal training will help me get some more focus and give me exercises to do to lose the fat and tone my abs. I'm suffering from PTSD with the weight I'm at now because it's the same weight I was when I was in my last horrible relationship. It reminds of how bad I felt emotionally and physically back then. I told myself I would never be at that weight again so I need to lose weight fast.

So I got a haircut and I hate it. The girl that cut my hair did not do what I wanted. I can't really explain what she did, except that I told her to give me some bangs and she cut the long layers around my face to be the same length as the bangs she cut. It looks so retarded and I'm praying that these bangs grow to a decent length before I have to go out with people in public. I hate them that much...I haven't hated a haircut in YEARS. That reminds me, I have to call the salon today and complain about it. They need to compensate me in some way for the hairstylist's incompetence. I had a feeling she was going to screw it up because she spent a LOT of time cutting just a few inches. I told her to leave the length alone, to just clean it up. I couldn't understand why it took her so long...now I know. I don't think she knew what she was doing. I also showed her so many pictures of the bangs that I wanted and also showed her pictures of what I didn't want so she was very clear. Apparently that did no good. UGH...

It's dark, gloomy, and gray today. Depressing...it's going to rain which is nice because I'm cozy in my house. I don't like the rain when I have to work, but if I can stay home I don't mind it. I think I'll have some soup for lunch today. That sounds like a cozy meal for a rainy day. I think Naveen is feeling cozy too b/c he's been sleeping for almost 2 hours now. Watch, now that I wrote this he's going to wake up...LOL. That's alright, he's fun to play with.

Speaking of Naveen...the little guy has developed an affinity for TV. There are a few shows I watch during the day and when he's awake, I lay him on his Boppy on the couch next to me. He doesn't face the TV, he faces me. He could always look to the side and see the TV, but he never really showed interest in it. He would just look at me and coo and I would coo back. This past weekend...yup...we caught Naveen staring in fascination at the TV. NOT GOOD. Chris and I freaked out and now we have "Operation No TV" no going on in our house. We watch TV, but we put Naveen in positions so he can't turn his head and watch. We also spend even more time than before playing with him and stimulating him with educational things. I can't believe he's already watching TV!!! I bet the colors, movement, and sound fascinate him, but we can find all those things on educational toys. Raising a child is a lot of work!

TTYL...
