"Me And My Little Girl"



I loved this picture of Addi and I the day before halloween at Granny and grandpa's house!! All of my kids were farm animals this year hence the name "Duncan Baby Farm" on my blog :) I figured it was fitting considering we have 3 kids under 3. So my little Addison was the cow! This costume is size 9-12 month, she is just our little petite girl! Back when she was in the NICU they used to call her a little pixy because she was just so danty and tiny, not much has changed. I am just so grateful to have a little girl to call my daughter! She is so full of life and is just hilarious. Addi has such a presence about her that just lights up a room, especially her extra cheesy grin :) She makes me want to be the best woman I can be. I want to be the best example to her as a duaghter, wife, mother, and sister!! She inspires me to work hard at obtaining all of these qualities that she already exudes! Sometimes I wonder who really is the example to who. I learn far more from my beautiful daughter sometimes then I feel she learns from me. Thank you Addison for being my precious daughter and always putting a smile on my face. You are my best girl and I will love you forever and always!! Love Mommy

"Weight Loss Count Down"

So here I am once again trying to lose pounds after a baby!! Well this time folks it is my THIRD and LAST!! You all heard me right the Duncan's are done having babies :) So with that being said I can really focus on getting myself back in shape, but not just back in shape, in the best shape I can be in!! Now that I am done having kids I can get myself where I want and try to keep it there knowing I don't ever have to be pregnant again aaaahhhhh! I can breath a sigh of relief. Being 28, having three kids, and being done is a good feeling. So with all that being said I am on a weight loss count down.

I can't believe I am going to reveal my weight to you all, but it's a tradition I have revealed after each pregnancy!! So whatever I will just tell you my weight now, and then my target goal. So I am now 125lbs. I was 117 before I got pregnant with Dayton soooooo I am hoping to lose just a couple more pounds below the 117 mark. I would like to be 115lbs. I know that may sound steep to some of you, but I have always been around that weight until I started having babies. I am only barely 5'4" so that weight looks fine on me. I just need to work my butt off to roughly lose 10 pounds. Any suggestions of good weight loss programs would be much appreciated :).........
