11th Anniversary

Poor Alexis had been running a fever for 2 days straight. Being the doctor that William is, he wasn't worried. "104 is bad, but 101.4 is just your body fighting off a virus. That's a good thing." I tried giving her meds multiple times, but they weren't helping. I tried giving her cold (not too cold) baths, but her temperature would go down for a while and come right back up. Poor Alexis wasn't herself. She was lethargic, not eating solids at all, nursing poorly, waking up multiple times through the night, and sleeping 15 minutes at a time throughout the day. So, there was no way I was leaving her with anyone, even on our 11th anniversary night. She tagged along and did okay. Sure, I had to eat with one hand, but I managed.

So now, a little bit about this guy. I am so proud of him. He is a hard worker, he is ambitious, he is loving, he is generous, and he is fun. These last 2 months, he has also been working very hard on his diet and is down 20 lbs. As for me, I am only 3 lbs away from the goal I set myself back in February. Ideally, though, I'd like to lose another 8 lbs. That would be 5 lbs less than my pre-pregnancy weight. But really, I just need my wedding ring to fit again. It's so weird... I'm not that far from my goal, but the ring is on tight, like blocking- my-circulation tight, like I-can't-take-it-off tight. What the heck do I need to do to lose weight in my fingers? Anyway... Back to that night... The food was excellent. The restaurant was super fancy. And the weather was beautiful, although super windy, just like our wedding day, when I had to take my vail off because it was ruining every single picture. One thing is for sure, I am one lucky girl. Also, my head could fit inside his.
