Nap Time Changing?

Since the time change Paige's nap schedule is way off. It is taking her at least an hour to fall asleep at her normal times. I will give this the rest of the week but I hope for now her nap time isn't changing to later. It's already hard enough to wait until 1130 to workout. Working out in the morning is not an option right now. Once baby comes that is what I will do but right now because of Jake's marathon training it won't work.

Better Nap Time today & Better eating habits for me!

I am in this crazy cycle. I am nervous about the gestational diabetes 1 hour test coming up next month so I bake. Then I eat what I bake which of course is junk (mostly with sugar) and then I feel bad or feel that I will give myself GD if I continue to eat this way. Yesterday I ate so much crap it's unbelievable. I don't think I did this with my first pregnancy to this extent so I'm nervous about that too (in regards to the test). Today I had a plan and I've stuck to it. I saw a flour-less cake I really wanted to make but I read a saying last night HALT and determined that out of (hunger, anger, loneliness and tired) I was just bored and didn't make it. I can do this - I can eat healthy and enjoy a 'treat' now and then until the test. I don't need full blown days/weeks of crap eating.

As for P's nap - today was great! She went down at her normal time and slept for almost 3 hours - yay! We played with her puzzles and relaxed with one of her shows right before her nap which probably helped. Yesterday I was too busy shoving junk down my throat - blah! Gosh I don't know what I will do if I don't pass this test and there is over a month until I take it and I'm already in a tizzy about it.

Not napping!

My little girl (soon to be 2) has been not napping more and more. I've had a terrible time since she was born adjusting my schedule around hers and every time I think I worked something out it changed. I've resorted to just letting her sit up in her crib and cry. Is that so wrong of me? I just want some time to get a workout in because I know once the next baby comes (in a few months) it will be impossible for me to workout during the day and my husband and I will have to figure out who works out in the morning and who works out at night. For now, is it so bad to just want a little me time!? She cried/fussed/played for two hours but wouldn't you know the second I was about to give up and just go get her she is quiet - ahhh she fell asleep. She has been in a bad mood all day and I'm wondering if her teeth are moving again.

On another note, I was going back to eating well today and blew it before noon. I made peanut butter cookies (you know the kind you just throw peanut butter, sugar and and egg in a bowl, mix & bake?) then I ate about 6 of them. I felt guilty so I threw the rest down the garbage disposal. I put P to bed, called a friend (which was nice to talk her) for 20 minutes, I did an express workout since I wasted some of my workout time on the phone then what did I do? I came upstairs and ate pizza, cheez-its and ice cream - ugh! Tomorrow will be better (I keep saying that I know!)  but I have to get my act together. Yes, I am suppose to gain weight while pregnant but not from junk plus the glucose test is coming up - I need to pull it together!

I'm a very scheduled person. I plan things and over-plan them. For example on a perfect morning things run like this: Computer time until 7:30, breakfast for myself until 8 and brush my teeth right after, 8 make lunch for J then once he goes to work it's time to make P breakfast and then clean up. If things don't work out this way J doesn't get a lunch on time then is frustrated that I didn't tell him to make his own lunch or P is yelling for a cracker because the poor kid is starving. Lucky for me J gets P up and dressed in the morning - it really helps!

Today's frustration was about the napping but she is sleeping now so I have some "me" time afterall! :)
