• So this is pretty much just going to be a little mind dump.  I have a few things floating around in my head and there is no particular organization to any of it.

  Okay... first off I am sooo freakin excited!  I went to the doctor yesterday for my post baby checkup.  I was happy to begin with knowing that I had only actually gained 13 pounds this pregnancy.  And Natalie was 8 lbs 4 ozs... so I figured with fluid and everything else I only gained baby weight!  Well... I went to the doctor and found out that I have actually lost 30 pounds since I've had Natalie!  That means I've lost an additional 17 pounds!  I have no idea how (yeah so don't ask!).  I'm assuming it has something to do with breastfeeding, chasing a toddler, oh and eating healthier.  I'm just so excited that I had to post it!  Oh and my doctor didn't even recognize me since I've had her!  lol... shes like oh my god Lauren, your sooo skinny!  lol  Yeah... so I'm feeling pretty good.  I went shopping last week and got some new cute summer clothes, and painted my toes  Now I just need to find a bright summery hair color.  Other than the icky stretch marks that Miss. Natalie has left across my belly, I for the first time in a long time feel good about myself and my appearance.  I'll be staying in ohio till sometime in June after my birthday, then I'll head back home to Georgia.  Oh and we are 5 months through the deployement, 5 months till r&r, and 10 months till this crap of a deployement ends.  I'm going to the eye doctor tomorrow so I'm getting new contacts and glasses!  Yay!  That means I will actually be able to wear my glasses (and be able to see!) when I don't feel like putting in contacts!  Also Shaun wants me to look into lasik to see if I'm a canidate.... apparently hes tired of paying for eye exams, contacts and glasses every year. And in 2 weeks I'm going to the dentist and then hopefully getting the crown for this tooth that has needed one since last year but had to wait cause i was pregnant.  I feel like I'm actually getting things accomplished.... hopefully I can bottle some of this energy for when I get home and have to mass clean and unpack... hey anyone wanna go to georgia and help clean?  It'll be warm... and I'll take you to the beach too!  lol.  Oh and we got a small pool for at home!  One with a filter and everything!  Nothing huge... well not for me at least but huge for Cameron.  I'm excited.  We'll be able to spend more time outside... I need to get some kind of canopy/unbrella/roof of some sort for the deck though so that Miss. Natalie can hang out there and not have to worry about the sun on her.  And I need to finish doing the stenciling in Natalies room and get it put together too.  Not to mention that I need to go through all the toys in camerons room cause there is like no room for the new toys from christmas and his birthday.  Well on that note... I think I'm done rambling for a bit... I'll leave with a picture or two of my babies
