  • Babies, and more babies!

    Hi everyone!

    First of all, Happy Thanksgiving to all! I wish you all a great week with your families.

    Just back from working with the babies again. I got to work with this cutie who had to learn to hold a toy with both hands and try to sit up for more than 45 seconds at a time. It was adorable! She would hold on to my fingers and look at me like saying "I'm doing it!" you could just see the joy in her little face and eyes. She would smile this big smile, she only has the two bottom teeth, she was a joy!

    So, I've been working on redecorating my apartment. Nothing major, just rearranging the furniture in a different way, looks really nice. Kind of messy right now because I'm not finished yet, but it's looking good. I need to get a little bit of xmas decorations. I don't want to put a tree up, that would be silly just for me, but I'll get some stockings or something to put up that I'll enjoy.

    Have a good rest of the week! Enjoy the turkey!

  • Little Angels...

    I just got back from my first day volunteering at the hospital. I worked with 3 different babies. Two of them slept most of the time, so I just held them. They were so cute! The other one I spent the most time with. She was sleeping for a while and then, when I was going to leave to go see another baby she woke up, so I stayed with her and played for a little bit.

    Those of you who have been around a while know how bad I want to be a mom. It's the one thing I've been wanting for the last 6 years more than anything, but unfortunately, it hasn't happened. This is such a great way for me to calm my biological clock, and to give some love to this little ones that need it so much.

    I'm in love with them. I can't wait to go next week and visit again, possibly see the ones I met today, and maybe meet new ones.

    Most of them are in the hospital for long periods of time, and their parents can't always take care of them full time for different situations, mainly because maternity leave in this country is only 3months, and if ou have a sick baby, you have to return to work and can't stay with your sick child all day. Some are premies, others have feeding disorders, some have had to have major surgeries already. It doesn't matter why they are there, they're all perfect little angels, and I'm so lucky and blessed to be able to spend time with them.

    My heart is smiling.

  • Yay! the scale is going down!



    Good morning everyone! Happy Tuesday! I'm ready for my workout today. It's Turbo Jam Tuesday! I'm alternating workouts almost daily so that I don't get bored, and to avoid hitting the dreaded plateau. I've lost almost 7 lbs! I just put on a pair of size 8 pants and I fit in them, albeit snug as a bug, so I think if I keep this up, I should fit in them perfectly by Monday! I'm so looking forward to being back to the 140's. Anything below 150 would make me happy right now! Almost there! I have a better video to show you from the protest. I made this one, it's a slide show video with pictures from it. I got to speak in front of a huge crowd about equal rights and how the marriage issue is really about civil rights, not religion. If you think differently, I respect your opinion. Here's the link to the video:

    Off to workout! Have a good one my friends!
