For anyone out there doing atkins diet or thinking about it: cheese is your #1 friend, as are eggs a close #2! We’ve been eating eggs and either sausage or bacon for breakfast every day, and it’s amazing how I dont really get hungry all day long on this diet. For lunch I mostly eat salad and some sort of meat. For dinner the same. The hardest part is snacking!! We’ve come to love sugar free jello and yep you can even enjoy some cool whip on it!!! Who would have though cool whip was low carb!! Other than that we’ve yet to find a snack thats good and on the diet. Dean loves pork rhinds, but I think they are disgusting. Looks like the scales showing me at a few more lbs lower now. I am so excited. It’ll be frustrating to get to a good weight and then get preggo but maybe it will help me lose more weight after I have the next one. But I’d be happier to be pregnant and fat then not pregnant!!
Trying to decide if we shoudl finally take Caleb’s crib down. Not sure if I ever wrote the entry about finding a toddler bed at a yard sale for $2 or not, I meant to and took pics of it and all but I dont think I actually got to writing about it. So from the day we got it he’s slept on his toddler bed which is red and goes great in his newly decorated bedroom. We’ve left the crib up as a just in case if he decided he wouldnt sleep there or if we couldnt get him to stay in the bed when it was nap or night time. But now we can lay him in there awake and he will actually go to sleep. It’s the greatest. It’s been about 3 weeks at least and he loves the new bed. Biggest problem I think is where to store the crib now that we’ve got a new room mate downstairs. I was hoping to be preggo by now so I could just leave it up but we’re not so it’s gonna be at least 9 months until we need it again. I think I might try to dissassemble it today since it’s a rainy day and we cant go outside. I love rainy days so I can get housework done but I’ve done all of my cleaning already so now I have to come up with new things to get done!!! If it wasnt rainy almost every day here I probably would have tons to do but since we’ve been stuck in the house w/ a sick kid I’ve gotten lots done. Hope it’s sunny somewhere!!!
For those of you out there that do, please pray for us this week and in the upcoming week as we seek to find me a job or for Dean to get a good job. We’re at the point right now that if we dont get more income soon we are going to not be able to pay the bills. We’ve never been at this point before and considering I’ve been able to stay home for 6 months with no income is pretty good considering all the new bills we had w/ the car accident and health insurance. But now it’s time for a miracle so please keep us in your prayers!!
