Losing

So Starting friday the 13th the Lovelace family has been in a competition to lose weight. I lost 5 lbs last week and 3.99% body fat!!! which is really good. one of the good things that has happened since having Eldon. It has been really tough losing weight after Eldon so I sort of gave up for a while but now I am back on track. Fingers crossed that things will stay this way. I was beat by my day who lost 12 lbs and almost 5% and the entire family lost 34lbs with 7 people participating. I have to say I am very proud of myself. Me and my mom joined weight watchers and are losing weight that way! It is really nice having people lose wight with you. lets hope this week is just as great with thanksgiving. I am trying to be good

4 month checkup... and shots :(

Eldon Allen George is growing up, and is getting so big and tall and strong. We went yesrterday for his check up. I was guessing Eldon weight at least 15lbs now... so did my mom but he sure did surprise us with his weight
Weight- 13lbs 12ozs- 25%
Height- 25 3/4 inches- 75%
Head- 42 1/2 cm- 60%

He was so good when he got his shots, he got 2 shots, and 1 oral vacc this time I had them do it in the same leg, because last time he bruised and we weren't able to hold him without him crying. This time has been a whole lot better. Eldon pretty much is eating running a little higher temp than normal, but nowhere near as bad as last time just in the 99's. and after he eats he wants to fall back asleep. My prayers were answered last time was horrible and i never want to go through that again. We love our little man
