Our Unbreakable Spirit: 3lbs down! :)

So finally the weight is starting to come off with all my hard work. I lost 3lbs this week! Thank Goodness, you really need to see those numbers move somedays to really stay motivated! Today I did a 16.5km bike ride and 5km walk with the ladies as well as my 30 day shred workout! so over an hour and half of cardio alone today! WOOHOO! I was hungry after the walk tonight so I had 2cups of chocolate milk and even though I ate super good today I went over my calories, that is the only drink I have had other than water so I am not feeling bad about it..plus I burnt almost 1000 calories today, so it shouldn't make a difference. Tomorrow I will do 30 day shred and another 30 mins bike ride, hopefully I can hit 17kms in that half hour! I am feeling really good about myself right now, I feel better as well..although I had such a bad headache lastnight and today, but it went away thankfully so I was able to do my workouts..I cannot workout with a headache they get worse for some reason.

Ohh today was soo freaking cute with Reiko, I was giving him a bath and he started splashing like crazy (great for his arms!!) and he was laughing like crazy while doing it, then he would get the water in his eyes and kind of roll his eyes which made me laugh harder and then he would laugh harder and we just couldn't stop laughing, it was soo funny! He wanted to keep me laughing and it was just soo sweet! And he did awesome rolling side to side in the bath as well, so he is getting much stronger everyday! He was in a great mood again today, I love his treatments for this reason, it makes him feel so much better, it takes alot of the pain away! But that also means before his treatment he gets super cranky because he feels the pain so much more. Kai was a good boy today and I was a good mommy today, hardly ever raised my voice to him and honestly it made the day so much less stressful. He woke up this morning and could hardly keep his eyes open, I knew he would nap at daycare and sure enough he was out like a light when I went to pick him up, he did not want to wake up lol. This day light savings time is awful on all of us! I tried bribing Kai again last night with a twoonie, I wanted to physically show him that he would get money in the morning if he went straight to bed, but he didn't he fought it still for 45mins so today he was alittle mad at me that I would not give him the twoonie, and again tonight we said the same thing, if you go straight to bed and don't get out of your bed at all, we will go to the store tomorrow with this twoonie...well again he didn't go to bed for over an hour..every excuse came up again..so tomorrow he will be mad again, but I do not want to give in to him..I just really want something to work for once...I have tried so many things but nothing seems to work with him. But still the day was a good day with him, he ate all his supper, he loves broccoli, so he ate all that, his sweet potatoe baked fries, asparagus and chicken! at least he is eating healthy with us! Tomorrow I am going to bring the boys to playgroup at the school in the morning, I hope they have a good day with it...wait..now I am wondering if there is playgroup with it being march break..I really hope there is.

This friday at 11:15 we do our photography with the Ronald McDonald House...My Goodness I hope the pictures turn out good, I hope the boys won't get to impatient. I am sure it will be fine..right? lol

I cannot believe Reiko's birthday party is this saturday! WOW! I can't believe in 10 days he will be ayear old! this time last year I was very very pregnant! I was HUGE and getting very impatient waiting for him!

I wasn't exaggerating..I WAS HUGE!

We had appointments every week in London with the specialist and we had no idea what we were facing when he would be born..we didn't even know if he would live...I was soo ready but so scared to see what we would be up against...but my goodness we were very in love with him already. By then I had about 15 ultrasounds, that was the best part of the pregnancy. And then this perfect little man was born...Here are some more pics.
