I Miss My Body

I am so thankful for both of my kids, but I HATE what having children has done to my body.

I want to feel attractive again.

I'm almot 20 lbs. more than I was before I got pregnant with Ally. I have stretch marks EVERYWHERE!


This picture was taken a month before I got pregnant. I remember thinking that I needed to lose a few pounds, and tone up a lot. I would pay A LOT of money to look like this again!!!

I need to hit the gym and tan ASAP!! If only there was enough time in the day...

Vaccine Conspiracy

Kellie (the woman whose blog I read just about every day) posted an interesting blog about a SIDS/vaccine link. I wanted to post a comment on her blog, but I was afraid it would offend people who don't vaccinate. So, I decided to post it here instead:

I am curious to see if there have been any cases of unvaccinated babies dying from SIDS, and if so... how many? Unfortunately, I don't think the government wants to look into issues like this, because they don't want the masses to stop vaccinating, which would probably result in major epidemics. I'm not usually one who believes in conspiracy theories, but I think it just makes sense in this case. They can't care about each individual child, when they have an entire nation to look after.

My daughter is three and a half years old, and it wasn't until her 2mo appointment, when I watched how much they injected into her tiny body, that my husband and I decided to do some reasearch, and hold off on vaccinating her. We actually have an appointment scheduled for tomorrow to start on her remaining shots. And the only reason we made that appointment right now, is because her preschool mandates that their students are up-to-date on all vaccines. We also have a ten month old son, and he has had NO shots so far. We will probably delay them until he starts school, as well. His pediatrician actually kicked us out of the practice for not vaccinating him. We have, since, found a wonderful vaccine friendly pedi.

I don't think that it's a coincidence that all these health problems in children are rising in numbers as the amount of chemicals injected into their bodies (and toxins already floating around in the atmosphere) are rising. It seems that almost half of my daughter's preschool class has a peanut allergy. When I went to school, not one of my friends had a peanut or egg allergy.

Here is a link to an interesting article supporting this theory:

I don't know. I guess we probably won't know for sure for a long time, if ever.

I have no disrespect whatsover for those who do vaccinate. This is just my belief, and this is what I chose for my children. I could be WAY off here.

We did it!!

I am officially a married woman, and I must say it's even better than I expected. I would like to write a long blog about it, but unfortunately my time is limited. I can say that it was a WONDERFUL time in Vegas (with a little speed bump the night before the wedding) Okay, it wasn't a little speed bump, it was a full out Sam and Ronnie fight. I guess that's what drinking Vodka the night before your wedding will do to you. But fortunately, we worked it out (and both felt stupid afterwards) And now we're husband and wife. :) Now that all the stress from the wedding planning is over, I feel like A MILLION bucks!! I just need to grab a massage, and find a gym to work out in, and I think I might be the happiest person in the world!

It may have took a wedding to do it, but I think I fell in love with Jason all over again. It was the first time since we've had Ally where we got to concentrate on US. It is my goal to try to keep the good vibes going. I know that things will not always be perfect between us, but I am a very stubborn and loyal person. I hope to always try my hardest to make things work!

Anyway... Vegas=Wonderful Our Reception at home= Perfect

I will do my best to post pictures soon!!

Take Care!
