We didn't do much since Mark is always studying, but I did get the girls dressed all Valentiney. Aunt Melanie got Hannah this little heart shirt and she looked so cute!

My sister found this totally cute tutorial to make baby shoes. Here's one from Jill's website. I tried making my own and they were so fun and not too hard!

So today I made bread. It turned out great, and I am super excited to eat homemade bread for the next week or so. But I had a little incident I wanted to recap here for your entertainment.
I was grinding my wheat into flour, and didn't connect the grinder to the container that holds the flour very well. I turned it on and the connecter tube popped out of place, spinning the grinder 180 degrees and spewing freshly ground flour forcefully out the side hole all over the kitchen like a fire hydrant spraying water.
I reached to turn it off only to find that the power switch was not where it once had been (since it spun). I felt all over frantically and finally found it on the opposite side of where it should be. Meanwhile, the kitchen ended up with a light dusting of flour. And to top it all off, both girls woke up right as I began to clean it up. Nice!

The other day I was getting ready for the day when Hannah woke up and started crying. I sent Natalie in there to sing her a song (Hannah likes to hear Natalie sing the ABC's) until I could finish up whatever I was doing (only a minute or two, I don't let them be alone together too long!). I went in to find this.

We blessed Hannah in church on February 1st. It was a very nice blessing and a wonderful day. Lots of family was able to come and it was nice to see everyone. Hannah was pretty cranky right before sacrament meeting started, so at the last second as Mark was taking her up, I popped the pacifier in her mouth and told him to have someone hold it. The bishop was the lucky guy to do the job, and it worked! She didn't cry. And she was a good baby during all the pictures too. Yay.

Alrighty people. I just got back from the gym and I have a few things I need to change about my goals. I just read a story in my Parents magazine about a lady who overdid it with her exercising after her baby was born (she was way too extreme about it) and her baby was failing to thrive until she cut back on the exercising and dieting (she was breastfeeding).
I decided it's too early in my baby's life to cut out too many calories. Like I said before, I don't want to risk diminishing or losing my milk supply, so until she is older and not nursing quite so around-the-clock, I am not going to concentrate on losing pounds. I'm not going to try to get to a certain weight just yet. My goals will become a little more broad, but more healthy for my little nursling.
So that's it. I'm removing my weight loss ticker from my blog. I'll put it back up when Hannah is 5 or 6 months old. If you see me in the same clothes all the time, it's because most of my stuff is for a differently shaped bod and nothing really fits right now!
