Today was Weight Watcher's day -- I skipped last week because we were at the Doctor's office for Isaac's 18 month and my depression follow up. I got weighed at the doctor's office but didn't log it; I thought her scale was being much to kind, especially when Isaac weighed lighter than I thought he should too. So today I was VERY pleasantly surprised. I still haven't broken through to the 2's but after bouncing between 304 and 306 for WEEKS, I'm at 301.6. Kind of surprising since I've been VERY, VERY bad about tracking lately.
On the other hand, we have been ACTIVE! Last Monday we had the Doctor's appointment in the AM, and then went and played in the mall play area and mall walked with Emily and Brody. Tuesday Isaac has his first dental appointment (he has 16 great looking teeth) and we played outside for a while. Wednesday we ran errands, played outside and got together with Megan from Visiting Nurses. Thursday Isaac went to Kari's and played while I went to the dentist, then we hit a few garage sales and an AWESOME KMart clearance sale. Friday I worked. Saturday we picked up some hand me down clothes from a ReUseIt member (THANK YOU! They're AWESOME clothes!) then we went to the park and wading pool and then we went to the Laundromat. (How many activity points do you think it is to get 3 laundry hampers and a sleepy toddler down and then back up to a third floor apartment?) I was hoping the park and pool would tire Isaac out and he'd sleep through the laundry. WRONG! No nap until in the car on the way home! I left him in his car seat while I put all the laundry inside the front door, then I put him in Cherie's stroller on the first floor while I carried all the laundry to the second floor. Then I carried him all the way up to third while I took the laundry from 2nd to third! On Sunday we went to the LLL picnic from 2 until almost 6 -- we swam, we played on the equipment, we RAN and Ran and Ran! No nap yesterday either!
So we've been a little bit busy!
Oh and then there was The Burn! Thursday night for supper I was making scrambled eggs in the electric skillet at the table. Isaac was strapped into his high chair well out of reach (I thought!) He undid the straps, stood up and reached! He screamed and I checked his hand and fingers for burns and didn't find anything. I gave him a glass of COLD juice to drink, thinking if he had burned his hand holding something cold would help. Friday when I picked him up from Kari's she asked me about the burn on his WRIST! Poor kid, I must have been holding on to the burned spot when I was looking for burns! I didn't think it looked to bad, but then the blisters broke and it looked a lot deeper than I thought. I was really debating whether I could just keep it clean and watch for infection or if it needed looked at, so I asked one of the nurses in my WW meeting to take a look. She advised getting it looked at, so we went to the Doctor's office where they told us to keep it clean and watch for infection! Oh well, at least now I KNOW for sure that I just need to keep it clean and watch for infection! I STILL feel guilty though! More for not finding the burn than anything! Interestingly, he weighed almost a pound more this Monday than he did last Monday.
