Happy Monday! :)

Haha I can say that because I don't have to go to "work"! :) I get to stay home with my beautiful baby girl every single day, so to me, every day of the week feels as awesome as the weekend does for people that work! :) It's pretty sweet really! I feel very blessed to be able to stay home with my baby girl and watch her grow. Be here to play with her, to love on her, to witness all her first's. I couldn't have asked for anything better! I sure will miss my girls from work though and the kiddos! Ok, some of them...! lol ;) It's gonna be weird not to leave the house and go to a "job" now. It's the first time since I was 15 that I haven't had a job! Wow!!!!!!! Now I just get to have the best job I've had yet! :) I love it.
So, I checked the dreadful scale again today. Not down anymore lbs, but I'm not up anymore either! Which is good because I wasn't very "good" this weekend, and I also hadn't worked out since Friday, until today. I feel good about it! Here's to another successful week or more pounds down!!!! Wish me luck! :) I've started it off right by having lots and lots of water today, and I went on a 4 mile walk with my SIL tonight. It felt good. 'Til the skeeters came out anyway! haha
I sure have thought a lot about my last blog and the content of it. So much so that I decided to e-mail my pastor last night and discuss things, lots and lots of things, with him. He said he's going to e-mail me back and each e-mail will answer (in lots of detail) each of the many questions I presented him. I received one e-mail back already last night and it was good! I look forward to the others to come. I think it'll be good for me. He's an awesome pastor, I have really enjoyed being a member of that church.
Justin made it home from drill. :) But, he started working nights tonight. I hate when he works nights because it messes up our whole schedule. He goes to work at 7pm and gets off at 7am. So then he comes home and sleeps 'til about 1 or 2 (or later) then gets up and does it alllll over again. On his days off he pretty much tries to keep the same schedule so he doesn't get messed up, so needless to say we don't get to see him too often when he works nights. :( So, here's to hoping the next 28 days go by fast!!  He really likes working nights though, so at least he is happy with it!
I ordered a Snuza monitor for Griffyn last week and I just got it and I'm using it for the first time tonight. Pretty excited to see how it goes. SIDS is something that completely makes me paranoid, so I'm hoping this will ease my fears, and hopefully it never has to go off! It's a little tiny device that clips onto her diaper and it has a piece that lays slightly up on her belly and monitors her breathing. It keeps track of how many times she breathes in a minute and also if she stops breathing. If there aren't enough breaths in a minute or if they are too weak an alarm will sound. And if she stops breathing for 15 secs. it vibrates to try to wake her up, and if she goes another 5 secs without breathing still, an alarm will sound. I've read nothing but positive reviews about it, so hopefully it works well! I hadn't ever heard of one until I was reading my forum on babycenter and someone suggested it, so I looked into it. Anyway! Hopefully no alarms ever sound, but I'm glad that if she stops breathing, I should know! :) It makes me feel a little bit better anyway.
Let's see, not much goin' on this week. Which is kinda nice. Sometimes it's nice to not have a whole lot going on, we can relax a little more, and there's more time to do whatever you want or nothing at all. :) So I'm gonna enjoy it!! :) I hope you all had a great Monday, if not, have a great Tuesday!
3 positive things:
1. I'm thankful for the (little bit) cooler weather!
2. I'm thankful for being able to stay home with my daughter everyday!
3. I'm looking forward to the state fair being just a month away now!!
Love
