baby losing weight on formula | Birthday Dinner Public House

baby losing weight on formula

I am woefully behind on my blogging. So many happenings in the last two months of the year!

So my 35th birthday was last month. On the day of, a good friend asked if I was doing anything special. The truth of the matter is that a Wednesday birthday (at any age) is tough. But especially when you are a grown-up with a spouse who is at the very end of a very long (two-year) project and you have littles at home. Im not complaining, but that is how the dice fell this year.

I literally spent my birthday "dinner" in the drive through at Starbucks while my boys napped in the back before church.

My mom is the master at assigning different dates for different events (her birthday and anniversary are on the same day, so she has always chosen a separate day to celebrate), so this year we did the same... It just took over a month to find a date we had a sitter available AND that Daniel didnt have to work.

So a week ago (or two, I dont even know the days any more), Daniels mom was in town for Isaacs baby dedication and we took the opportunity to sneak off for a dinner date.

During Thanksgiving, Daniel had met his sisters for a Collective Soul concert at Track 29 and before the concert they ate at Public House. It was so good, he knew he had to take me back.

Since it was a Saturday, we called ahead to make a reservation. When we arrived we were surprised that the place wasnt overly crowded. They started to seat us at a tiny table right by the door, but we requested a booth further in the restaurant (thankfully they granted our request).

We enjoyed a solid two hours of talking, just the two of us. And I dont think we talked about kids (if we did, it was minimal). It was such a nice, and much needed, change of pace.

The food was glorious. My youngest sister-in-law said it best when she said the Peanut Butter Pie was like a high five in your mouth. All of the food was truly a high five your mouth, in the best possible way.

We started our meal with an appetizer of fried pickles and pimento cheese with crostini. Daniel would not typically eat (much less try pimento cheese), but he really liked it. The crostini was charred perfectly and had an amazing smoky flavor.

For our main dishes, Daniel chose the salmon with rice pilaf while I had the fried chicken with mac-n-cheese. All of it was amazing. The salmon had a smoky flavor that I dont think I could copy at home and the fried chicken is probably the best that I have had.

To top the meal off we chose the Peanut Butter Pie with coffee for me (decaf). A serious high five in the mouth! The food was so good and the restaurant didnt feel pretentious, a plus in our books. We would give it 5/5 stars.

baby losing weight on solids | 13th Wedding Anniversary

baby losing weight on solids

Today marks our 13th anniversary. Remember yesterday how I said that Wednesday is a tough day to do any celebrating? Well that statement applies to anniversaries too.

Thankfully we will not be waiting over a month to celebrate this milestone. We have a little excursion planned to the mountains for some much needed R&R. Well, as much rest and relaxation as you can get with two kiddos and a dog in tow...

Thirteen years. 4,745 days. 113,880 hours.

In that period of time, we have had 9 jobs between us; moved 7 times; purchased 6 (new to us) cars; owned 3 different houses in 3 different states; had 2 precious little boys; and adopted one ornery dog.

It feels like just last year, we were newly married and would take long walks after dinner and talk about the future. Weird how that future is now. Some of our dreams have hit their mark, others have fallen short, but we are still in it together.

For our very first anniversary we spent New Years Eve weekend backpacking in the Smoky Mountains (we actually both forgot our anniversary that year!). The memories from that trip include staying in a shelter on the Appalachian Trail with a group of Eagle Scouts, not exactly romantic, but it suited us fine. This year we will be back in the Smokies, kids in tow. We wont be staying in a rustic shelter and we will have our kids with us, but we will be in a place we love. And we will be there together. What more could you ask for?

after pregnancy weight loss diet | Not Just Coffee Boy Girl

Our favorite coffee bar is an AMAZING place called, "Not Just Coffee" and it is seriously the best coffee in Charlotte with a handcrafted espresso and pour over coffee menu! Makes me weak in my knees! haha. Today, it really was "not" just coffee for us!  Samuel called me on his way to our appointment with this idea of revealing the gender at NJC, instead of finding out in the sonogram room. (They dont let you film in there and Sam really wanted to get our reaction on tape to have for our little familys life story.) I was thinking wed just go old school and tweet it, but Sam was pretty stoked about this idea. So, I was like, "Why the heck not? Im married to a film maker, Im gonna embrace it." I called James, the owner of the coffee bar, and he was down for it! It was a treat and a precious memory for my heart! Ah! I cant tell you how excited we are, we got our hearts desire! Im so in love.

My soul is soaring with happiness and bursting with smiles at the memories Im anticipating for the future!

If you live or are visiting the Charlotte area, your life experience is not complete until you go visit Not Just Coffee! Go have one of their oh so amazing cappuccinos, teas or lattes and enjoy the flavor. They are located on east 7th street in the Uptown area. Here is their page, NJC!

end of pregnancy weight loss | My Love Language is Coffee

end of pregnancy weight loss

 

If my cupboards are any indication, my love language is definitely coffee (the picture below shows about 24 mugs – a fraction of the coffee cups we own). I suppose coffee would fall under Gary Chapmans described language of quality time. I want to savor a good cup of coffee in the company of someone close to me.

Over the last month-and-a-half, I have been leading a Wednesday night class at my church on the topic of hospitality. We are following the SheReadsTruth study and each week I have asked different women to share personal experiences. In addition I also include supplemental content that I run across – mostly from the blogs I read.

Last night I shared a little from the blog Fellowship Kitchen. The author, Alyssa Passage, writes about the faux pas of sharing personal pain during the holiday season, and that in keeping those struggles to ourselves we do a disservice to those who might be able to love on us.

She says:

Silence costs us…

The silence, about what effects our hearts, leads to loneliness and isolation even while we sit at packed holiday tables, elbow in the mashed potatoes.

Silence costs listening ears, comfort, camaraderie, and the plethora of hugs you need. No, gestures like that won’t cure the hurt but at least we’ll be surrounded by love and the voice of truth, “You’re not alone.”

And as a final thought — let’s dually hold sadness and peace in our hearts, not because everything is alright, but because Jesus is a bringer of gifts. And those gifts often arrive in the arms of friends and family. - See more at: http://kitchenfellowship.com/if-the-holidays-hurt-your-heart/#sthash.dRDnvKiO.dpuf

 

So if you are hurting in some way this holiday season, whether from anxiety, difficulty parenting, aging parents, infertility, miscarriage, death, job situations, or whatever your heartache is, I hope you will chose to share that burden with someone close to you, perhaps over coffee. 

 

And if you know someone who may be having a difficult time right now, I hope you will choose to show hospitality to that person by offering a listening ear, a hug, or a note to let that person know they are not alone. In this season we are reminded that Jesus was the ultimate gift giver and those gifts can arrive in the form of friends and loved ones.

after pregnancy weight loss stomach in hindi | Dear Cedar

after pregnancy weight loss stomach in hindi

Cedar,

Your bright little soul has brought so much light into my heart. When I kiss your sweet cheeks and look into your blue eyes, I can feel so much goodness. Watching you sleep is kinda like a drug to me...youre simply addicting. I love you more than I thought possible. But, knowing my heart the way I do, and even the way I dont quite yet...I know theres so much more love to happen between you and me and that makes me so excited. Im so thankful for you sweet boy. People say all the time that children are a gift, but you really and truly are a gift to me more than Ive ever understood the word to mean. Im so glad you came exactly when you did, my little miracle. You are the meaning of "new" to me.

There is a unique excitement that I have when we spend time together and I think about all the wonders you havent experienced yet. There are trees waiting for you to climb them, snowmen for you to build and ice cream for you to taste. There are knees to be scraped from fun adventures and silly things for you and your brother to laugh at. Your eyes will sparkle the first time you realize you can walk all by yourself. The feeling you get in your heart when youve comforted someone you love will be thrilling. I think that will be one of your gifts in life, because thats who you have been to be from the moment I first felt you dance in my tummy. So much love is waiting for you Cedar, so much love. And my one and only goal and dream in life is for you and your brother to know it as yours. My prayer countless times a day is Lord, more than anything, let my boys know they are loved.

Right now you are next to me, dreaming asleep...and your brother is antsy, trying to figure out what he wants from the moment. Your daddy is creating something lovely and now, I realize I havent even begun to understand what good means because, I feel it more today than I have in my entire life.  Sweet boy, thank you for being a kiss of healing to me. I cant wait to watch you discover and enjoy this journey.

With all my soul and truest heart, I love you Cedar. Happy 1 month.

-Momma

PS.
This song below is the song I sang the entire time I was pregnant with you Cedar. Id sing it any time my heart felt happy or broken.  It still makes me bawl like a baby and smile, as I look at you here with me. You are my springtime and the sweet promise of Jesus making all things new.

Well I feel a warm wind blowin

Melting all the sadness off of my soul

and I smell the sweet cherry blossoms

pouring all their gladness, into my soul

In winter I believe you 

In springtime I see you

Its so good to be with you
my hope has come

Lord you make all things new

Your love is my breakthrough

Now I sing Hallelujah

My hope has come

Well Ive walked through the valley of the shadow

And I have been tested like silver and gold

Lord your faith has taught me to cherish

that this light affliction is not my home

Im not gonna give in to this mortal frustration 

And Im not gonna give death any standing ovation

I will lift my soul God, with no hesitation

because between you and me theres no separation
