Yeah, I suck at blogging when I'm pregnant and when I have a newborn. I'm pretty sure I dropped blogging when I was pregnant with Caroline too. Sorry about that.<br />
<br />
<br />
So..I had a baby, it was a boy and his name is Maxwell Thomas, we call him Max. He was born at 39 weeks and was 8lbs 12oz, 21 inches long. <br />
<br />
He has grown to be quite the chunky monkey! He weighed in at 18lbs 2oz at the pediatrician last week (at 3.5 months). We discovered when I was pregnant that he has kidney reflux and he's had some testing and ultrasounds done since he was born. He's on a daily antibiotic to prevent an infection and we are hoping everything will resolve on its own.<br />
<br />
How about some pictures? I think I left off last Summer..<br />

Here you go. <br /><br /><a href='https://picasaweb.google.com/StephanieThomas82/TheMatas02?authkey=Gv1sRgCPi95NC4pem4uAE#5792593785599684466'><img src='https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-5ADqkOi5Y4Q/UGNtW4bN73I/AAAAAAAAEZE/UG-587A06ys/s288/0.jpg' border='0' width='152' height='281' align='left' style='margin:5px'></a><br />As of today (20w 2d), I have gained 25 pounds!! Yikes. I promise that I'm not constantly eating cheeseburgers, and the thought of sweet stuff make me sick. I think I'm just destined to get huge while pregnant. :(<br /><br />I gained 85 lbs last time and I'm hoping to stay under that this time. <br /><br />Just be prepared to see lots of weight loss posts after the baby is born. I lost over 100 lbs after Caroline was born, so I know it's possible to do it again.<br />Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03826434884323983877noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916290331653011811.post-59408152626393190922012-08-21T14:15:00.000-06:002012-08-21T14:15:04.866-06:0015 weeks..Wow, how am I already 15 weeks pregnant? I was terrible about blogging last time when I was pregnant, and I'm obviously the same this time. Hey, at least I posted about being pregnant before the baby was born this time.<br /><br />I do not like being pregnant..at all..I feel bad saying that because I know so many people struggle to get pregnant, but I just hate not feeling like myself. I have zero energy. My goal of doing Zumba 3 times per week and eating healthy meals went out the door after the pee dried on the stick. Blah. I gain SO much weight when I'm pregnant and I hate it. I know it's my own fault (and partially my mom's) but I have zero motivation.<br /><br />We will schedule out anatomy scan next week for sometime in September and I really can't wait to find out what we're having. I'm ready to paint the room and buy clothes! Unfortunately, we got rid of a lot of Caroline's clothes so we'll have to re-buy those even if it is a girl. People keep asking what I want it to be..I honestly don't care. I feel like I haven't connected at all with this baby yet, but I know once I find out what it is (and we come up with a name) the bonding will begin.<br /><br />I'll have to post pictures of our Summer when I'm at home on the computer sometime. We've had fun during our last Summer as 3. I'm super excited about what the future holds for all of us and I'm really looking forward to the Fall and Winter.Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03826434884323983877noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916290331653011811.post-79004985125454241242012-08-06T18:11:00.001-06:002012-08-06T18:11:22.887-06:00Surprise..<p>I have been a bad blogger lately for a good reason.<br><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-6pxyF33CASQ/UCBdIz2TXKI/AAAAAAAAEYc/Q1stouGL-D0/s1600-h/May%2525202012%252520054%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="May 2012 054" border="0" alt="May 2012 054" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-GtYXsDeVuVI/UCBdJOn1XbI/AAAAAAAAEYk/ui_4J0HKafg/May%2525202012%252520054_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="245" height="484"></a><br>Caroline is going to be a big sister.

About half of her class showed up, but they did so well! They also got to wear their costumes so they were super cute. The end of the year recital is next weekend and I can’t wait to see them on the stage. I’m pretty bummed that our families won’t be there to see Caroline..they’ve practiced all year for this.

To be honest, I like having the party on a day other than her actual birthday because then we can do something special with just us for her actual day. well, it was fun anyway.<br><br>I’ve mentioned before, but we ended up doing a joint birthday party with her friend that is 5 days younger. It was nice doing a joint party because it was someone else to help make decisions and shop with..and it was also someone else to split the cost with. We did separate invitations because we didn’t want people to think they had to bring an extra gift for a kid they didn’t know. Everything turned out great and all the kids had a blast.<br><br>We did the playscape for her birthday, but we still got her a small gift to open when she woke up on the actual day.<br><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-tn_9xPnnVuA/T4uGKjaeDwI/AAAAAAAAECk/I9p-dStGEjQ/s1600-h/2012-03-30%252520Caroline%252527s%252520Birthday%2525202012%252520004%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="2012-03-30 Caroline's Birthday 2012 004" border="0" alt="2012-03-30 Caroline's Birthday 2012 004" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-l2HeFADyVic/T4uGLNNOh4I/AAAAAAAAECs/96JYCB1vDm0/2012-03-30%252520Caroline%252527s%252520Birthday%2525202012%252520004_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" height="430"></a><br>Mario went out and got her a donut with pink icing and sprinkles.<br><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-wyhQZ9V2_NA/T4uGLneapUI/AAAAAAAAEC0/7cuwEVkorz4/s1600-h/2012-03-30%252520Caroline%252527s%252520Birthday%2525202012%252520005%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="2012-03-30 Caroline's Birthday 2012 005" border="0" alt="2012-03-30 Caroline's Birthday 2012 005" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-AIGzyvkkAbg/T4uGMIIKsnI/AAAAAAAAEC8/Ier_S3o3hDI/2012-03-30%252520Caroline%252527s%252520Birthday%2525202012%252520005_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="530" height="484"></a><br>We had the party at the Children’s Park in San Marcos.

She is 35lbs (90%) and 39.5 inches (95%). She’s still big..she towers over her friends. She wears size 4T, though I’ve noticed that a lot of the new 4T bottoms I have been buying are a little big.

The first one was moved from the backyard to inside the house and everything was still fun! Caroline was super shy at first because she hadn’t seen these friends in a while, but she warmed up pretty quickly and didn’t want to leave. They had a banana split bar and it was SO good! Thanks for having us K! Unfortunately, I left my camera at home because we were running late. <img alt="Sad smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-sadsmile" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-Vhw34-rBjHI/T11eUyeJu5I/AAAAAAAAD20/vj6jjA4NfQI/wlEmoticon-sadsmile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" /><br /><br />Saturday night, my friend and I left the girls with our husbands and went out shopping for the joint birthday party that is happening at the end of the month. We got most of what we need..now we just need to hope for good weather because it’s supposed to be at a park.<br /><br />This morning we went to Faith’s birthday party at the Jumpy Place in Kyle. It was also supposed to be outside but mother nature did not cooperate. We had a blast today also and I think everything went smoothly despite the last minute change of plans.<br /><br />I did take my camera today.<br /><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-VRG2yTf6PgM/T11eVklmkhI/AAAAAAAAD28/PcTIwgw2S6I/s1600-h/March%2525202012%252520030%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="March 2012 030" border="0" height="430" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-UFbUwyl4uU4/T11eWeKjajI/AAAAAAAAD3E/zErwI6KJOFc/March%2525202012%252520030_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="March 2012 030" width="644" /></a><br /><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-neB1qYnKIDs/T11eXOvPB9I/AAAAAAAAD3M/asFnV99lavE/s1600-h/March%2525202012%252520036%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="March 2012 036" border="0" height="430" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-vJb-948E6qw/T11eXjueqoI/AAAAAAAAD3U/FabN0NtVSrc/March%2525202012%252520036_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="March 2012 036" width="644" /></a><br /><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-00x_4hHA70U/T11eY_vaAxI/AAAAAAAAD3c/yyVFqf12wl4/s1600-h/March%2525202012%252520075%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="March 2012 075" border="0" height="484" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-vwUIA5kHtcc/T11eZtvYAWI/AAAAAAAAD3k/Ysp2yuIlk6Q/March%2525202012%252520075_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="March 2012 075" width="591" /></a><br /><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-vxald6FKUbU/T11eayTCIZI/AAAAAAAAD3s/NxpnzXq6fJU/s1600-h/March%2525202012%252520079%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="March 2012 079" border="0" height="484" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-AnRDAIqjHlE/T11ebb6WxiI/AAAAAAAAD30/ccwkd0N2csQ/March%2525202012%252520079_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="March 2012 079" width="577" /></a><br /><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-3trV-O0LI-A/T11ecIyGSvI/AAAAAAAAD38/QNpgsEfRzTk/s1600-h/March%2525202012%252520085%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="March 2012 085" border="0" height="442" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-W3zLXnaBDU0/T11ec_vhIuI/AAAAAAAAD4E/Ay7IgiBi_y4/March%2525202012%252520085_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="March 2012 085" width="644" /></a><br /><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-D6c7YTVTFuE/T11edjVMZRI/AAAAAAAAD4M/SDgZGvckLFQ/s1600-h/March%2525202012%252520093%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img alt="March 2012 093" border="0" height="484" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-VoQY_DYLjao/T11eeRsY_7I/AAAAAAAAD4U/XL9yCqi_jP8/March%2525202012%252520093_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; display: inline; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="March 2012 093" width="550" /></a><br />We got home and the weather actually turned out to be really nice.

I can't believe that I will have a 3 year old in 30 days! <br /><br />We have a busy month ahead of us..full of toddler birthday parties, including Caroline and her friend's joint party on the 31st, our 5th anniversary celebration in Gruene, and our niece's quinceanera, that Caroline is in.<br /><br />I'm also doing Zumba twice a week and I'm still loving it! I actually wish it was offered more than twice per week. It makes walking seem very boring. Haha. <br />
<br />Here's a picture of us from last weekend. We took a party bus to San Antonio for a friend's 30th birthday. We spent the entire weekend recovering from staying up until 3:30am.<br />

I made sure that we got our money’s worth out of the balloon and had some fun with the helium..Caroline thought my voice was hilarious. <p><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/StephanieThomas82/TheMatas02?authkey=Gv1sRgCPi95NC4pem4uAE#5712811127630505682"><img style="display: inline; float: left" border="0" align="left" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-gwRABCZmwPg/T0f7c-tQptI/AAAAAAAADxY/SXbm6wryveQ/s288/12.jpg" width="210" height="281"></a> <p><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/StephanieThomas82/TheMatas02?authkey=Gv1sRgCPi95NC4pem4uAE#5712811180817891554"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-j7jHpIVzzY0/T0f7gE2HwOI/AAAAAAAADxg/DHi8PZjfZuA/s288/13.jpg" width="281" height="178"></a><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>I was sitting in a chair watching her play on Monday and she requested that I take her picture. <p><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/StephanieThomas82/TheMatas02?authkey=Gv1sRgCPi95NC4pem4uAE#5712811236672046114"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-FODGiRB7Tmk/T0f7jU6yhCI/AAAAAAAADxo/q_GxZ462mbs/s288/14.jpg" width="210" height="281"></a> Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03826434884323983877noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916290331653011811.post-11135533301597539192012-02-22T21:38:00.001-06:002012-02-22T21:38:28.344-06:00Week 6 check-in..<p>I’ve made slight progress since last week..I’m down 0.6 pounds from last week, which is 8.4 pounds overall. I didn’t track anything over the weekend again and snacked too much. I was good during the week. <br><br>I tried a Zumba class at work last week and it kicked my butt..I felt great afterward though! I talked some friends into trying a class in Kyle with me on Tuesday and we’re trying another class in town tomorrow. I would love to find a place where I could do 2-3 classes per week and still walk on the other days. I’m usually not super excited about exercise but this is fun and I could definitely see myself keeping up with it.</p> Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03826434884323983877noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916290331653011811.post-57176291829712486322012-02-22T21:18:00.001-06:002012-02-22T21:18:45.201-06:003-Day Weekend..<p>For Caroline’s birthday this year we decided to put a swingset in the backyard. This seems like the perfect age because she’ll love it now and she can play with it for a long time. It will also be great for our future child(ren).<br><br>We decided to go with the <a href="http://www.swingsetsonline.com/backyard-products/play-sets/Liberty/">Liberty by Adventure Playsets</a> (bought out by Backyard Discoveries). We ordered it from Lowes to take advantage of 18 months without interest and free shipping. It arrived a lot sooner than we were expecting so she got her big present about 6 weeks before her birthday. There was no way we were putting this together ourselves so I found <a href="http://www.swingmantexas.com/">the Swingman</a> online..he was great! He started organizing things and putting the tower frame together in the cold rain on Friday and finished the whole thing by himself on Sunday.<br><br>Here’s the final product. We are very happy! This thing is tall..I can stand up in the tower and it’s still a few feet above my head.<br><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-CH6lzIyDxRQ/T0Wv_8X02zI/AAAAAAAADv4/ehNjw7fr9h0/s1600-h/Feb%2525202012%252520053%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Feb 2012 053" border="0" alt="Feb 2012 053" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ribHCQBF26k/T0WwAdxqYtI/AAAAAAAADwA/7fSVAqtpPFQ/Feb%2525202012%252520053_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" height="430"></a><br>We have been outside every evening until dark.

The girls were tall enough to ride all the kiddie rides this year so we spent most of our time in the carnival area. Maybe when the Austin Rodeo rolls around we’ll take Caroline to see the actual rodeo (I’ve never even seen one myself).<br><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-LGcqmK0Xduo/T0WwCx_NWJI/AAAAAAAADwY/eQZYaiZIvrs/s1600-h/Feb%2525202012%252520001%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Feb 2012 001" border="0" alt="Feb 2012 001" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-ZO1Mtj2b5Pw/T0WwDU1OhiI/AAAAAAAADwg/NL1YNKV3aGY/Feb%2525202012%252520001_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" height="430"></a><br><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-zKcVLh-cTR8/T0WwEYGFVcI/AAAAAAAADwo/3Ig957MH1T0/s1600-h/Feb%2525202012%252520011%25255B4%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="Feb 2012 011" border="0" alt="Feb 2012 011" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-JOQQaBlWjZg/T0WwFHFfhYI/AAAAAAAADww/4I9Djb12VRM/Feb%2525202012%252520011_thumb%25255B1%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="644" height="430"></a></p> Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03826434884323983877noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916290331653011811.post-33909161983491620052012-02-15T16:01:00.001-06:002012-02-15T16:55:41.036-06:00Week 5 Check-In..I'm right where I was last week..and 2 weeks before that. I did well last week and not so well over the weekend again. I need to stop this cycle. Haha.<br />We had our second official weigh-in for the weight loss challenge I'm doing and, as of earlier today, I am in 2nd place, which is good, but the girl in 1st has lost almost 10% of her body weight already! (I'm now in 3rd place..I have some work to do!) I have lost almost 4%.

Luckily, I was able to lose everything I gained in a couple days (must have been water weight) and I'm actually down 0.8 pounds overall..and I'm sitting at 193.8.<br /><br />I'm perfect with my calories during the week and I've been walking for 40-45 minutes 6 days per week. I just have a hard time controlling myself on the weekends when we're hanging out with friends..or shopping at Costco (those dang samples are so good).<br /><br />My goal is to get under 190 by the week 6 check-in.Stephaniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03826434884323983877noreply@blogger.com1
