Weight Watchers Week #10

I lost 3.4 pounds in the last two weeks.  This brings my total weight loss to.........26.2 pounds. So yeah, go me.

Soccer again...and Easter too

Tyler had is first soccer game of this season on Saturday.  I would like to say that he did great and we all had a good time...but I can't.  He was a big baby and only wanted to play with his cousins who came to watch him play.  Tony is the coach of his team and he did a great job.  We have 12 kids on our team and about 8 of them are all Polynesian cousins.  They are super cute, but hard to tell them all apart.  I don't have any pictures from the game since Tyler didn't play very much and when he did go out and play he would trip and fall and cry.  It was a hard game for him.  But I hope that he will do better next time, and sad to say but I don't think that the cousins will come and watch again.  Tyler loves them so much that they are just too much of a distraction.  Grandma will just have to come by her self to support Tyler.

Easter was yesterday.  We went to church and then the boys had an Easter egg hunt after.  There were lots of eggs and both boys had fun.  Josh pretty much just wanted to eat the treats and not continue hunting, but we pushed him a long and he did good.  My camera battery was dying, so I only have one very dark picture.  Later that day we went to Tony's parents for dinner.  Always a good time with the family.  We love spending time with our families and the boys love playing with their cousins.  What could be better?
Tony and I are both doing well, healthy wise.  He is pretty much back to eating normal food and doing what he normally would - such a blessing.  My itching is gone and so is any pain that I had from the UTI or the kidney infection, so that is very good.  We are hoping for a much calmer week here at the Steenblik house.  Wish us luck!

Darn antibiotic

This is what happens when you take an antibiotic that doesn't like you...

I am sure that you can guess what the "covered" areas look like.  Lets just say, last night sucked!!!  Went back to the doctor, got another shot in my butt - this time a steroid shot.  Also got a new antibiotic (my third this week) and some itch medicine and cream.  Just when I think things can't get worse.  This is crazy stuff.  Still glad for doctors and medicine.

What a week

Well, there was no Weight Watchers week 9 weigh in because I got a kidney infection on Tuesday.  I had been taking an antibiotic for a UTI for about 5 days when the symptoms of the kidney infection started appearing.  So I went to the Urgent Care and got a prescription for a new antibiotic, pain bills, and a shot of antibiotics in my bum.  I was in a lot of pain, so I was glad to get something that would work super fast at killing this infection. 
Well I started getting a little itchy yesterday, but super itchy today.  I have sense noticed red spots all over my body and I am really itching all over.  I called the doctor and they told me not to take any more pain meds, to see if that is what is causing this reaction.  Luckily I haven't taken any since last night, so if it is the medicine that I am having a reaction to, then I should start feeling better tomorrow...but if it isn't the one and the problem is my antibiotic, then I am only going to get worse and probably end up at the doctors tomorrow.
All the while Tony got his wisdom teeth out today.  I am feeling pretty good, minus the itching and feeling hot and then cold and then hot again, so I was fine to take Tony.  We ended up waiting for over an hour before they even got him in, so they gave us free movie tickets.  Once they got Tony in, it only took about 30 minutes and they were all done.  He only had three teeth and they were all in, so the dentist just had to pull them all out - easy as pie.  Then they wheeled him out and I took him home.  He was super funny in the car.  He had tons of gauze in his mouth and he kept trying to talk to me about what the doctor had told him before.  Then he kept telling me the same thing over and over.  I kept laughing, it was funny.  He seems to be doing really well, so that is very good.  Here's to hoping that my itching will stop as will my run in with all these doctors!!!

Weight Watchers Week #8

Sad to report that I gained 1.4 pounds this weigh in.  I have to admit that I felt much more hungry this week, it was kind of weird.  Plus I ate more treats then I should have.  I stayed within my points, so I am surprised that I gained, but I will just have to do better next time.

Weight Watchers Week #7

Last night I weighed in at 4 pounds lighter then the week before.  I really didn't think that I would loose such a big number this week.  I was actually worried because I had just gotten a sinus infection on Monday and was on medication and I was on my period, so I really didn't know how those things would reflect on the scale, but it was good.  I still stayed within my points, some nights still not using all my points, so that is very good.  Weight Watchers is doing a 5K next month, so that should be fun.  I hope to have my 25 pound goal and 10% goal by then.  I am sure that I will because I am very close to both.

Conference was this last weekend.  It was especially good this time.  They talked a lot about service.  There were a couple talks about how awesome women and moms are.  Also a lot of talks about single men and women not putting off getting married.  A lot of good information.  Tyler got to sleep over at Grandma Margie's house on Saturday.  Josh was suppose to get to go too, but ended up getting really sick Friday night.  Tony took him in and he has another ear infection and was having a hard time breathing again.  So we had to give him breathing treatments all weekend with his antibiotics.  So Tyler went and had a wonderful time, and Tony and I stayed home with poor sick Josh.  He seems to be breathing better and feeling better, so that is good.  It is really scary when your baby is having a hard time breathing.  Darn RSV from last winter, how I hate you.  I sure hope that Josh grows out of have respiratory problems.

Tyler's Preschool

Tyler goes to a preschool that my friend, Kim, from high school does out of her house.  She does a really good job and Tyler loves going to preschool and loves his friends that he plays with there.  Kim has a blog where she will put up pictures of some of the activities that they do in the preschool.  I copies a couple of Tyler that really show how much he loves it.

This is Tyler and me on the day they celebrated his birthday.  I got to come and talk about Tyler.  It was lots of fun.

Tyler likes to hold hands with Elsie ("she's cute" he says).

More holding hands, different day...I may be in trouble.

Some of the kids having a good time singing songs - and holding hands...again.

Tyler likes to trace his letters.

What a cuttie.
