week 1 done

Week 1 is officially over! Woohoo!

So I did pretty well this week and survived a whole 7 days without ANY chocolate - a true challenge. I also managed to shed 3 lbs and got to the gym 3 times. My trainer managed to talk me out of going every day on week one and to ease into it to avoid injury and I am thankful for that. I was sore all week but in a good way. This week I plan to go 4 times, 3 sessions with my trainer and one session to start on cardio endurance in preparation for the big 'M'.

Olivia is 4 months old today and is doing great. She is above the 50th percentile for her height and is right on it for her weight - WELL DONE wee one!

We go to Sick Kids week after next to get another echo on her heart done and hopefully find that she has continued to grow more of these new cells around her VSD. I have a good feeling.

While we are there we are hoping to get the OK to fly so that we can start making preparations to get to the UK to introduce her to the other half of her family. We are very excited about this trip and are eager to book the flights!

Today we are starting baby sign language as well...we know that she wont be able to sign back for another 2-5 months but the earlier we start, the earlier she will start too. We are beginning with the basics....
