Hypertension is NO JOKE!!

So I landed in the ER again, with blood pressure issues again. So now I see this thing is real and I need to accept the fact, that something needs to be done FAST! Those lingering 30 post pregnancy pounds have got to go. The 2 miles that I walk 3 times a week isn't doing anything if I continue to pig out when I get home. So now I'm seriously on a mission to kick the fat and hypertension. To jump start things I'm currently taking PGX, it's suppose to be natural and I'll soon start taking CLA. Can't wait to see some results! I refuse to accept the sentence of hypertension or being thick just because I had a baby one year ago. So here's to getting my sexy back!

My creation, The NICU Journal

  Being the Mother of a premature infant that spent 101 days in the NICU, I know all too well of the things I wished were available. I've designed a NICU Journal, especially for parents to keep track of their baby's journey. Its available through Amazon.com and Createspace. Check it out, below is the Cover and link:

  I'm so excited I've got Etsy orders and local orders. I've been working hard and I'm so excited and nervous at the same time!

Photo Challenge Failed!!

  Of course I would forget to post that someone I loved yesterday! Darn it, but I had so many things going on yesterday that once I did get on the internet...well I feel asleep. We did get great news regarding Faith yesterday at her Cardio appointment. According to her Doctor, her ASD is no longer visible on the Echo and he couldn't detet a heart murmur. She's still on the short side but she's tipping the scale at almost 19lbs. We visited the NICU and everyone who saw her was a amazed at how well she is doing. I am so gratful to God and all my prayer warriors that have been with me through the rough journey this year has been. On another note the drive to New Orleans was rather eventful. We got lost! How do u get lost in New Orleans? Its one big circle, but we missed exit and exit. I did get to take a few pics and we got to see the Doctor early since we were late. After our journey we got Faith's ears pierced. As is well that ends well! Happy Day!!!
