Been busy!
I've been here a few times when I got a second but haven't had the time to blog. Still doing pretty good with my weight though. If I could only stay off the scale!
It's been a stressful few days. I think I'm just driving myself crazy with the Jacob situation. I talked to my husband about my concerns and he agreed for the most part, although he thinks I'm jumping to a diagnosis. We talked to his teacher about it (he's already in a class at school for delayed preschoolers). She understands our concerns, but she also reminded us of the huge progress he's made over the last year. She's worked with a lot of kids over the years, both with and without autism. She said on occasion she gets concerned herself, but then he quickly breaks that with all of the typical stuff that he does. She doesn't think we need to jump to getting him evaluated again. That we're already doing everything we need to do for him, and we don't want to put an inaccurate label on him that will follow him the rest of his life, even if he does catch up. She LOVES Jacob and I know she only wants what's best for him, so I trust what she says. She is right though - he's already in the class, in speech therapy and we work with him a lot at home. We'll see what happens! No matter what, I love my kiddos more than anything in the world.
ANYWAYS! I feel much better since the caffeine headaches are GONE. My body feels better since I'm not eating a ton of junk. I do need to start working out to relieve some of my stress. I know it will make me feel better, but it's just GETTING to the gym that's hard. I need to clone myself!
