Answers!

I was kinda surprised I didn't get more questions but hey I love the 2 questions I did get.

First was from Morgan, another girl at Bragg, at Stars, Stripes and A Military Life

Will you go on a date with me all ready? Lol. Kidding of course, but your girl is dying to meet you! Maybe we can go see "The Lucky One" together next weekend?

I have already text her and told her we could go! Yay for friends!!

Another was from Chantal at B+C & Baby!!

How did you come up with the name Evelyn?

I wrote this post right after I had Evelyn that explained a little of how we came up with her name. 

Her name was ultimately suppose to be Emily, after my Great-Grandmother, but in fear to making family mad we decided to change it. Its weird how we knew her name began with an 'E', but 'E' names just sounded good to us. Being that Hubs was in Iraq I brainstormed a lot more then he did. One day I was looking through a book on my Grandfathers past and I saw that his Grandmas name was Evelyn, suddenly I realized how much I really did like that name. I let Hubs know and he loved it too! So that's how it all came about.

If you read that post though it will tell you about her Middle Name too :)

Thanks for the Questions you 2! 

Lets Get Curvy! PT.2

Dont forget! Today is the last day to Ask Me Anything.

Since I last wrote about getting curvy, I have lost 15 lbs! Yepp, just by changing my eating habits. I have to admit it was a piece of cake, but for me to give up chocolate when I am such a sucker for Cadbury Eggs...I have to admit though I had maybe 5 eggs.

The Hubs and I have been walking a lot more often. His goal is to loose 15 lbs by the end of this month, and I'm just hoping to keep losing weight.

The Hubs starts work again on Monday and it will be all up to me to keep up with my success. I am pretty hopeful since the pool is opening next month I'll have plenty to walk to :)

Are any of you trying to lose weight? What are you doing?

What's Sleep?

dont forget to ask me anything

The last few days I have had a horrids night sleep...Why?

1. We have Cockroaches in our house.
2. Evelyns not sleeping.

Now the cockroaches just give me the hebe-gebies...I doubt I spelled that right. Every time I get even a little touched I am flipping out. But its not bothering me so bad.

Evelyn on the other hand is driving me up the wall! I seriously love my girl, but she's gonna make me go nuts. All I want is to SLEEP! She wakes up every 1 to 2 hours at night, just to complain! I am pretty sure there is a tooth coming out, like 95% sure. But this is insane. I've never had a problem with her having teeth. Ever. I finally felt a little lucky that my daughter just loves sleep that much. Wrong!

Last night at 12:30 the husband and I both got up with her put her on the floor in her room and tried to calm her down and feed her. Do anything to make her go to bed. We finally decided to give her tylenol and teething tables along with some nighttime oragel. She slept 2 hours.

I delt with her all night begging her to sleep. I put her in bed with us and she just thought it was play time, so back in bed she went. I ignored her for 15 minutes trying to see if she'd just go back to sleep on her own but she cried and did her "MMM" sounds. So at 6 I finally just said EFF IT! and woke up and brought her into the living room. I did not at all feel bad turning on Mickey Mouse for her while I laid on the couch about ready to burst into tears.

At 8 she finally decided to go back to bed, and I didnt even care. I went to bed too! and when she woke up and hour later, I made sure to yell tell my husband to get his ass out of bed so I could sleep. As much as he hated that he finally did it. Thank the lord! I slept till 10:45. MMMAZING.

I dont know how long this is gonna take for her to sleep normal again but damn it, it better happen soon! I also ordered the Baby Wise book, my own methods dont work anymore. I need professional help.
