It was such a tough Monday. Joe and I had had an argument Sunday night and hadn't made up yet. All day, all I could think about was how my world is off kilter when we fight. To make matters worse, he had to work late so we couldn't even talk about things until 9 or 10 p.m. Hopefully, things start to improve today and we can get back to feeling close to one another. I really do believe that having a child adds so much stress to a relationship. Don't get me wrong, it adds an immense amount of love too. When I look at Joe feeding or holding our son, I realize how lucky we are, and how lucky I am to have such a caring husband. But suddenly, with the demands of Joe's job, housework, errands, and Ethan's care, we have NO time to ourselves. We don't have family close by, so a night out to ourselves happens only about once a month. I truly feel that I need to nurture my marriage better or it will slowly start to disintegrate. That is my goal for this week: to make sure that I appreciate Joe and the incredible life we have made together.
Tonight, I have an appointment with the nurse at the Wellness Center to do my orientation and physical screening. Then I will have bloodwork done on Thursday and hopefully be able to start the program. I am anxious to get going and start LOSING!
Ethan was a fussy baby yesterday...I guess he doesn't like Mondays either! He was so cute this morning when I went into his room. I looked into the crib and he was awake, so I said "Good Morning Sweetie". I was rewarded with such a big sleepy grin that I just laughed and laughed. It's moments like that that truly make all the sleepless nights and cranky days worthwhile.
Today, I am thankful that my Mom's test results were fine. She does not have uterine cancer. She has some fibroid tumors in her uterus that are not cancerous or pre-cancerous, and she does not have to have any surgery or treatments at this point. I am so very thankful that she is okay!

Hi Laura,
I am sooooo happy to hear that your mom's health is clear! Thank God.
I have been reading your blogs, but have been swamped. I wanted to come on tonight and let you know that I am really happy that your meeting with the dietician went well. It sounds like you will soon have a good plan you can stick to and start seeing results. Hang in there!
Also, did you call the daycare about bringing Ethan early? What did they say?
I hope that you are making up with Joe right now. I know what you mean about feeling off kilter like that. It is really depressing on top of everything else. Here's to a better tomorrow.
Sara
