{The Littlest Cowgirl}

I grew up on a bit of  a farm. Not the kind of farm where you have cows and pigs and goats and stuff, but we had horses, and chickens. I'm pretty sure most little girls want a pony at some point in their life. I was lucky, I got my first horse for Christmas when I was 11.

I don't have a horse anymore, but my mom does. She's away in Vancouver this weekend and so C and I are housesitting... or more so, animal sitting. This means, up in the morning to feed the horse and let the chickens out, home at dinner to feed the horse and lock the chickens in. At times I miss having a horse - until I remember how cold and dark it is at 7 am in the Winter. 

My mom has already said how she is going to get another horse so her and Miss H can go riding. She wants to take her already and talks about how excited she is for when H is big enough but I think it will be quite awhile before I feel comfortable enough to put her on a horse - with someone, or alone. I won't be letting her go until she is big enough to wear a helmet, that I can promise. 

Today, H met Casey.

{Friday Night Leftovers}

• H is 12 weeks old, today. 12 weeks - Seriously? If I continue blinking she'll be starting Kindergarden! 
• I started Jillian Michael's: 30 Day Shred on Wednesday. It makes me want to kill myself but I am determined not to give up. If I finish it in 30 days, with no cheating/skips, I'm rewarding myself with a little Victoria's Secret shopping spree of bathing suits! 27 days to go... fml.
• I packed up my first box of H's stuff that doesn't fit and passed it along to a friend who's due in a couple weeks. I didn't think I would have such an attachment to tiny little pink sleepers but my goodness was it hard to say goodbye! I kept certain things because we do plan on having another one day (not soon) and if it happens to be a girl I would be sad if I gave everything away.
• At the end of May the eldest of my little sisters is Graduating. I am SO excited. I can't wait to head up to the sunny Okanagan and see everyone, and especially to see her Grad. She really makes me feel old!
• Tummy Time is STILL on H's "hate" list. It's like torture or something. It kills me to watch her fight it so I often walk away and go do dishes, or put on makeup. Anything to pass 5 or 10 minutes. If I sit and watch her, or talk to her, I end up picking her up right away because she's screaming and I feel bad. I know it's good for her, and necessary to do, but WHEN will she stop hating it!!??!?! 
• H has 10 pairs of shoes and 7 pairs of boots... She hasn't worn a single pair. I really should start putting them on her but it just seems like so much more work than it's worth. They can't really be comfy for her, can they?
• I love Skype.
• A friend of mine is pregnant, again. She hasn't told anyone yet because it's still early but I AM SO EXCITED I COULD BURST. :)
• Crib Training is going okay. She will sleep most nights in her crib but she won't go down until 11ish. I guess once we get her used to it fully, the next chore will be making bedtime a wee bit earlier. Mom and Dad need some alone time, too, H.
• C has my car today. He just texted me and said "Lol, your centre console is awesome.. 5 tampons, 2 straws, an iPod, and a soother." ... That is a rather random centre console. 
• I kind of want cloth diapers... 
• Contrary to what yesterday's post may have you believe - I despise snow. Bringing H out in it just seemed like the right thing to do. Regardless, it sure is beautiful.
• Those are my leftovers for the week. Throw yours out here!

{Let it Snow}

I remember a few times when I was young being woken up by my parents late at night. They'd tell me to look out the window and it would be snow covered. We'd then get all bundled up and go out to play. Snow in PR doesn't last long. It's usually here one night, gone the next morning so you must take advantage when you can or you will miss out completely.

Last night it started snowing at about 5. It stopped for a bit with just a slight coverage on the ground but then picked back up around 8. At 1030 I looked out the window and everything was covered. It was still snowing huge flakes and I decided it was time to take H out in it. If she had of been sleeping I never would have woke her but she was awake, and so after a bit of begging I finally convinced C that it would be fun. We bundled up and out we went!! Such a beautiful night for a snowy little family walk.

Once we got back inside, and dried of the Princess's face, she was so tuckered out that she fell asleep and didn't wake up until 8 this morning! Got to love fresh air!

{Goodbye Tummy, Hello Bikini}

It's not much of a secret that pregnancy isn't very nice to your body. Sure, having that nice perfectly round, smooth belly is cute as heck, but when the baby comes out and that belly is hollow.. eep! I've been pretty lucky. I fit into my jeans before I left the hospital and I'm below pre-prego weight without any exercise. The issue isn't the weight, it's the jiggle. It's time to start shredding. Jillian Michaels is about to become my new best friend for the next 30 days and I'm NOT looking forward to it. Her and I came in contact back before I was pregnant and our friendship lasted all of 4 days before I threw her in the garbage. This time, I mean business! I WILL get my tummy ready for summer & the dreaded bikini season.

I'm going to take my weight and measurements tonight and this will be Day 1. I'm really hoping I can stick to it consistantly for the next 30 days and tone up - wish me luck!

Also, if you don't hear from me with a progress report within the next 3 days.. I may have died.
Exercise is the Devil.

Wordless Wednesday: Something to post when all else fails and you have nothing to say except: some time tomorrow, or the next day, I will be getting my hair cut. AND Happy 18th Birthday to my oldest little sister, B. We love you and miss you. Also, you make me feel old. xo
