I’m Good To Go!
November 5, 2010 | 
Author I had my 6 week postpartum check up today. I have officially lost 18 of the 23 pounds I put on during this pregnancy. Everything has healed nicely, and my OB cleared me to do all of the things I could not do in the past 6 weeks. That means I can start going to the gym to remove the remaining 5 pounds, as well as the other 75 I need to get rid of! I am excited about this. James, my sister, and I all signed up at the beginning of October at a new gym while it was running its grand opening specials. They have been going without me, so I will be a bit behind, but at least I’ll be working off this flab!
Tonight is Sawyer’s first night staying with his Nana. This means my first night without him. He is almost 7 weeks old, so I know he will be okay. Right now, I feel like I will enjoy the short break, and the full night of sleep that I will get, but I may be missing him later this evening! James and I are going to have a nice dinner out and then just relax at home. I don’t want to be gone all night because I rarely get the chance to be at home and not have anything to do, so I am going to take advantage!

The Urge to Blog
I want to blog so bad, but I fill that I have absolutely nothing good to say! Oh wait, I can first talk about our date night over the weekend. Saturday night, James and I went out to celebrate our 3 year wedding anniversary. We had dinner at a local Chinese buffet that I hadn’t eaten at since before I got pregnant (yes, I stayed away from the MSG!). It was SO delicious, though there were a couple of my favorite foods that were not on the buffet that night. After food, we went to see “Life as We Know It.” It is a really good movie, definitely one of my new favorites. I love anything with Katherine Heigl in it, and Josh Duhamel made it even better. 
It even made me tear up a bit when some parents died (that wasn’t a spoiler…it’s in the synopsis!), because I immediately thought about what would happen to Sawyer in that situation. Being a new mom brings an entire set of new emotions with it!
Speaking of Sawyer, the little monkey is 4 weeks old today. Was it really 4 weeks ago that experience the worst pain, and yet the best day, of my life? It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long! He will be one month old, going by the date, on Wednesday. I plan to write letters to him each month on here like I have seen other bloggers do, so that is something for you all to look forward to. It’s amazing to see how much he’s grown in the past 4 weeks. He’s becoming such a little piglet! His one month check up is Friday, so I cannot wait to see how much he has gained in his weight and height.
Guess I had things to say after all!
3 Years
James and I had our third wedding anniversary Wednesday. It’s a bit hard to believe that our wedding day was three years ago. Sometimes, when I think about it, it seems like it was forever ago. Then other times, it seems like just yesterday. It really depends on what is going on at the time that makes me feel one way or the other. We will have been together 5 years come February, and most of the time, it doesn’t seem like that long! All I know is this has been the best almost 5 years of my life. I love being married to my best friend. <3
We have decided to celebrate our anniversary this evening rather than Wednesday so that we would have a babysitter. Sawyer is going to spend the evening (Read: Not the entire night! 
) with his Nana while we go enjoy dinner and a movie. It’s the classic date night, but it’s something we have not done in a REALLY long time so we figure it will be fun. We are going to a Chinese buffet that we have not been to since before I got pregnant, and then to see “Life As We Know It.” If time permits, I want to run by Wal-Mart for groceries, but that just seems a little too domestic for a special occasion, don’t you think?
