End of month in review

Wow. It seems like life is moving extra fast these days. I went from having a beautiful 7lb 6oz tiny little baby to a 10lb 12oz baby in just 8 short weeks. My little "Bella Bella" is growing so fast I can't believe my eyes. I've even come up with a little nick name for her witch is "Bella Bella". I know I know her name is Shelby not Isabella, but it almost was Isabella and really the word Bella is beautiful in Italian and well I like it and she is beautiful so I think it fits. It's better the then shell witch is what the husband calls her. She is lifting her head like a champ and cooing away, all the normal things that 2 month old does. Wow! feels weird to put that down on paper so to speak, 2 months I can't believe that it's been that long.

I've been doing really well on Weight Watchers this time around, I think I found my zone and some people like to call it. I do some free lance singing on the side at churches and such and last Friday I sang at a funeral mass. I knew the family and the person that passed my whole life so I was going to go anyway, they asked me to sing and I did it form them because I knew how much their mother loved to listen to me sing. Anyway the mass beautiful and everyone seemed to be doing okay, no major break downs. At the lunch in after words there was really nothing low in points to eat so I made myself a half of sandwich and had a few chips, 3 pickle spears and half a serving spoon of mac salad. After I was done eating, I sat back in my chair and thought to myself "I've never eaten half a sandwich in my life, that's awesome Sabrina keep up the good work". They had really good cakes and candies out so I didn't go near the dessert table, I just had a bit of what my sister was eating. Again never ever did that before I usually say to myself, "it's okay eat the cake it's a special day" well I've come to realize that not everyday is a special day and I can't be doing that stuff and expect to lose weight, doesn't work that way. I had a first holy communion party to go to the following day and I showed the same self control. All in all I think I'm having a wonderful weight watcher week. Wednesday I get weighed and I think I did really good. So far this month I've lost like 6.4lbs, that use to take me like 6 months.

Some other exciting things that I've been doing this mouth are reading, writing, baking and cooking. For the first time in my adult life I don't have to go to work or school or both. I'm home with a baby that sleeps a good portion of the day leaving me to do the things that I love to do and something that I'm doing for the first time. I've read the entire Twilight series of book and they where great. I love the way Stephine Meyer writes, really page turner. I've even done some research on how she came up with concepts for the book. It was dream that she had, in my opinion any women who dreams about vampires is a good women to me. I've long had a love for vampires and for some reason I can't get enough of them. Okay back to books, the books are about this young girl that moves to a new and become in twined with the mysterious but totally beautiful boy that is her lab partner in bio class. They fall in love and the rest of the books are about the relationship that have. Again very well written and holds your interest. Reading these books have inspired me to write a novel of my own and it's coming along nicely, easier then I thought it would once you get started. I'll probably never let anyone read the thing but its something that I wanted to do for me. That's another I did this mouth, after having the baby I realized that there are a lot of things that I want to do so I made a list and as I do them I cross them off.

So all in all I've a great month of April and hopefully May well be just as good if not better!
