I did another Zumba class this morning. It is definitely strange to take classes, instead of teach them. It also sucks that I'll be at home and not feel huge and disgusting, but when I get to Zumba, I do. Not only is it because it's harder to move, but because Sabrina, the instructor, is tiiiiiiny. She's probably a size zero. So, I feel massive compared to her.
I also feel huge when I try anything on that I wore before I was preggo. I think I'll feel somewhat like I'm making progress when I'm below 140. It's strange to think that my senior year of college I started out at about this weight. I eventually got it off, obviously, since I was 128 when I got preggo.
I was 145 or 146 at the doctor today. I can't quite remember. I do remember that Eis is now 10 pounds and 15 ounces and 22.5 inches long. She's gained a little over four pounds in the past two months. I've lost almost 20.
Back to Zumba... I am not sure why, but I am blindingly pale. Far paler than I ever thought I was, but maybe I just didn't see it. I am definitely the palest in the class. It's truly unfortunate that pale skin looks fatter than tan skin. It's almost worth getting a spray tan just to feel mildly less disgusting.
Anyway, the doctor said Eis is looking good and everything is on track. She got three shots and an oral immunization today. I recorded it on my Flip. I didn't record the actual shots, just Eisley's face. It was so sad. My mom was heartbroken and when I showed my dad the video he said, "It makes you just want to cry." Bless her heart, she was almost asleep and the nurse stuck her in her left thigh and Eisley just screamed and started crying pretty hard. Then she was given the oral immu, then the nurse went on the other side and gave her two injections in a row in the left thigh. Eis was so upset -- almost as upset as my mom.
It's a pretty pitiful video.
We were told that a small amount of Tylenol (for kids) would help if she got a fever or anything. We stopped by HEB on the way home and my mom grabbed some meds. I gave her a bit when we got home just to help Eis to not feel so bad. She did alright the rest of the night, but was slightly more temperamental.
After she nursed, I put her in the swing (which had dead batteries) and I laid on the floor and pushed it with my hand. She was tired, but wouldn't fall asleep. Meanwhile, I was exhausted. I eventually got on the bed in the nursery, so Eis could see me and I dozed a bit. At some point Eis fell asleep and I woke up when I heard my dad putting new batteries in the swing. I got up and stumbled to my room and said, "I have to lay down for a bit." I slept for an hour and a half or so.
Eventually, I got to eat dinner. It was my first real meal of the day. I had a NutriGrain bar before Zumba, a tiny bowl of oatmeal after Zumba, a granola bar at the doctor's office, a frapp after the doctor's, then pork, corn, and potatoes for dinner. It was nice to eat.
