5 lbs to go!

Yeah - I have 5 lbs to go before I'm at my pre-pregnancy weight! Of course, when I got pregnant, I was trying to lose the 15 lbs I had gained since getting married, so in reality, I need to drop a total of 21 more lbs.

I know part of it is because I've had this nasty upper respiratory infection along with Mackenzie - so I have little appetite for food. I've been drinking lots of juice and water, and I honestly thought the amount of sugar in the juice would make me gain weight this week.... I guess when you limit what you eat and stay pretty much on a liquid diet, you lose weight. Who knew?

We're getting better - Mackenzie slept in her own bed last night after almost a week with me in my bed. I was a little worried that she'd cough up a lung or something in the middle of the night and need my help getting it out, so she slept, propped up on pillows next to me.

Funny thing about that - I put her in my spot and slept on Phil's side of the bed, which has never been slept on (new mattress since he was home on leave) and it just felt weird so I didn't sleep well at all! Not to mention getting up every 4 hours for a breathing treatment.

Anyway, I can do the breathing treatments ever 6 hours today, and then go to 8 tomorrow. She goes back to the Dr. on Monday for a recheck. I'm sure she's getting better, but I think she's still teething, so fussy and wanting mommy to hold her all the time.
