Wow it's been way too long since I have actually wrote a post on here. A lot has happened this past year and we are so looking forward to what's in store for us in the future.
Miss Maggie is 13.5 months old now and is growing like a weed! She is so smart and makes us laugh every single day. She walks all over the place and is starting to say a few words. She is about 20lbs and 30" tall. She is very social and we love her dearly. We honestly don't know how we got so lucky!
I am still working part-time (~16 hours a week) and have been so fortunate of the schedule I have. I enjoy the days at home with Maggie and the weekends when Marcus, Maggie, and I can spend quality time together as a family. Thankfully, football season is over for Marcus so he gets home at a more decent time in the evenings.
I have finally decided to make a lifestyle change and lose some weight! I am down 25lbs so far and I hope to lose much more in the next several months. I am eating healthy with the help of Body by Vi shakes along with walking, running, and weight lifting. The winter months are going to be even more of a challenge, but I have confidence that I will keep losing weight. My short term goal is to lose 60lbs total by the time my sister gets married in July of next year...only 35lbs to go!
Because of the wedding coming up we have decided to postpone trying for baby #2 until the summer or possibly even later! When Maggie was born we had the intention to start tying again when she turned 1, but now that that time is here I don't think we would have been ready even if there were no wedding. So the plan is to start talking about TTC #2 in July of next year. If we are both ready then we will go for it, but if not we will hold off. Admittedly, there are times when I feel ready to start trying right now and I wish we didn't have to wait, but most of the time I am perfectly fine with our plan.
Marcus and I are doing great. We celebrated 3 years of marriage this past September. Our marriage has changed since bring Maggie home. Mostly for the better, but not everything. We still have a lot to work and improve on, like all married couples.
That's pretty much it for now! Life has been busy!
