It seems lately that, in the areas of Tater Tot’s sleep schedule and The Mommy’s weight, we have taken three steps forward and two steps back.

I was able to stay at my pre-pregnancy weight a total of two days before returning to a weight that is not quite my pre-pregnancy weight.  Add to that the fact that I had gained about 5 pounds while trying to get pregnant and The Mommy has very few clothes in her closet that fit her!  And then there’s the Turkey Day left overs…*heavy sigh*…Very yummy.  The Princess and I are still walking every morning and I’ve been choosing the hilly route to get a better work out but we’re no match for the Oompa Loompas that are chasing me!  Ah well, tomorrow’s another day and another chance to take better care of myself…

In terms of the sleep schedule, The Tater Tot is getting her second tooth so she is a teeny bit more fussy and needs more soothing. This is antithetical to training her to soothe herself to sleep, however!  Several doses of Tylenol later (for Tater, The Mommy takes something a little stronger) we’re doing fine, especially since The Daddy has the week off for Thanksgiving and can rock her more than The Mommy can.  You see, The Mommy’s shoulder and neck went out of whack a while back and now it is so bad that my thumb is numb!  That can’t be good…
