update

I was told to update my blog, and since this is the only one I have, I'm assuming this is what they were referring to. So. Things have gotten a lot easier with the little guy since he turned about 6 months or so. For the past month he only gets up once or twice. Every once in awhile not at all. So I'll wake up at 2 and wonder why I don't hear crying. Its strange, but good. He doesn't want to crawl. He rolls everywhere instead. Right now he has Croup so thats sad. Its a virus infection that makes your throat swell at the smallest opening which is near the voice box I guess. The first night before we knew what was wrong was really scary. He was fighting to breathe and couldn't sleep at all. I didn't know what to do. Brian called a doctor at nearly 3 AM and was told as long as he's not turning blue he should be fine. Whatever. So we took him in to the doctors as soon as the place opened. He was prescribed some medicine that helped the swelling go down. The doctor said before the steroid medication, most cases were rushed to the ER and to still watch his breathing that night because it could still have the chance of swelling and closing his throat. So I wasn't over-reacting. Luckily he slept a lot better that night (Last night) but has a sore throat. Every time he coughs or sneezes he cries a little. Its sad. But at least he is breathing.
I had been going to the gym regularly for a few months and it was great. I lost 2 inches around my waste in 2 months. Then I was struggling getting there and getting frustrated when they would page me because Cody was crying so my workout would get cut short. Now I haven't been in 2 weeks and I'm starting to eat crap food again. But not for long! I just need to think about the fact that summer is coming and that should help motivate me. Well, I think I will post this before I ramble on about anything else.
