Sorry to keep everyone in suspense about weigh-in day. Ethan has been so sick with sinusitis that is draining right into his lungs. I am exhausted because he's been so restless at night and coughing off and on. He is now on Amoxicillin, Albuterol, and Singulair for the next 10 days to clear it up and make sure that it doesn't turn into bronchitis or pneumonia. He's been sick before, but never this sick, and it truly breaks my heart to see him like this.
Okay, the scale was at 175.5 yesterday morning. That means I have lost 5.5 pounds in the past 2 weeks. Not as good as the 8 pounds I lost the first time I did the South Beach Diet, but hey, at least the scale is finally moving down again. Joe, Ethan, and I are going out to dinner on Thanksgiving with my parents. My plan is to eat a little bit of everything that I really just have to have. There will be no leftovers once we leave the restaurant, so I am hoping that going off the diet for just one meal will not leave any lasting consequences on the next weigh-in day.
Starting weight: 181
Current weight: 175.5
Next weigh-in: Monday, November 28th
****************************
Ethan had his 9-month checkup yesterday morning. He weighs 19 lbs., 12 ounces, and is 29 and 1/4 inches long. That puts him in the 50th percentile for weight and the 80th percentile for height. I think he is going to be on the scrawny side, just like Joe was as a child. It's hard to believe that at his next appt., he will be a year old! Where in the heck as the time gone??? My baby is so quickly turning into a little boy.
Joe took the day off yesterday so he could go to Ethan's appt. with me, and he was wonderful with Ethan all day. He just held him and rocked him in the chair. I'm usually Ethan's favorite, but when he's sick, he always wants his Daddy. My mother is home with Ethan today, because I really felt that he was still too sick to go to daycare. We'll see how he is tonight and if he can go tomorrow.
I'll try to be better about keeping my blog updated! :)

Hey great news about your 5.5 lbs! You're on your way! I promised Dave I'd make an effort to lose weight as soon as Thanksgiving is done since I gained back my previously lost 5 lbs. You're doing a great job sticking to your diet!
Oh my gosh, I am so relieved. I worried that since you hadn't blogged, you had gone off your diet and fallen into a major depression. :) AWESOME that you've reached 5.5. Just think, you are half-way to losing 10 pounds in just two weeks--after months of toying with just 3. You should be really proud. I am sure that your Thanksgiving feast won't have any huge effects. Unfortunately, this will be a rough season to get through on a diet!
So sorry to hear about your poor little sick Ethan. How awful. Hopefully he will be feeling better soon. I'm glad that Joe got some special time with him.
Love,
Sara
I am so PROUD of you! Congrats on the weight loss! WOOHOO!!
I am sorry Ethan is so sick! I am glad Joe was able to snuggle with him for a bit!
Hugs babe and keep up the good work!
