A little bit on me for a change

Well, let’s focus on how I am doing instead of OMG baby posts.
I got weighed today at WIC and I am at 287. I was 316 before I delivered. Is anyone calculating here? I lost 29lbs in 2 weeks. That is freakin AWESOME for me. I was 290 when I got the positive pregnancy test. I’m proud and can’t wait to pull out my tote of “clothes I stored away when I was pregnant and depressed about only fitting into PJs and sweats”. Those are getting dug out Saturday. I also am going to buy a new pair of jeans from LB probably to celebrate. I have a ton of weight to lose still obviously but it’s good to know everything I gained was baby.
I’ve been doing much better since the initial depression I suffered when I first came home. I will admit I hit a very low point where I wanted nothing to do with her or anybody. It felt awful to admit to anyone but I’ve adjusted a bit more to the routine of things. Randy had court today for his last ticket he obtained before going to prison. Altogether with his 3 tickets (2 driving w/o a license, 1 DWI) the fines we have left to pay are $860 but that’s not bad at all for the charges he’s got. Hopefully he will have his license back around Jan/Feb so I can stop being a taxi. I also don’t fancy the idea of taking a newborn out every day 2x a day in the winter.
Colby is doing very well. His swelling went down, the bullets are lead but unless they’re in his intestines they’re not damaging, and his broken foot is in a splint for 6 weeks. He’s a good little hopper and can even take the stairs but jumping onto the bed is a task he likes to whine as us for. His 55lb butt is not fun to lift, let me tell you.
My birthday was Sunday. I didn’t do anything. I got $20 from my grandma and my mom watched Gracie overnight and all day Saturday which was a good enough present for me. Randy said he didn’t know what to get me and this week money was tight due to Colby so in a week or so I’m hitting up Newegg and spoiling myself with either a new HD or a 23 inch flat panel. My 19 inch isn’t cutting it so much anymore.
It seems like the blogging world has been quiet lately, what’s going on new with anybody?

Congrats on the weight loss! It’s so easy to keep some of the weight after pregnancy, so I’m glad to see you lost it all. And I’m glad you are feeling better.
I haven’t been blogged as much lately just because of the load of schoolwork. After this week, things are dying down to only 1-2 assignments/exams due each week, so hopefully I’ll have more blogging/breathing time!

Congratulations! You are doing awesome!!! You lost it quickly too, it took me over a month to lose 22lbs and now I’m not even sure what I’m at 4 months pp!!!
Glad to hear Colby is doing well. I was worried for him when you first posted about it on twitter!!
Also, Happy Belated Birthday!

I’m so glad Colby is going better.
I follow you on Twitter, and I’ve been worried about him. I still think it’s awful what that guy did even if Colby did kill a chicken.
