Weekend Trip...

Okay so we went to Indianapolis this weekend so Michelle could try out for The Biggest Loser.... It was a great drive and we talked and laughed the whole ride... Saturday morning we got up and went to the audition, luckily for us Michelle had a VIP Pass so we didn't have to wait in any long lines... She didn't make it but it was fun trying!!

So remember I started "Operation 25" Friday morning... So this weekend I didn't drink any soda only water. I ate very lightly and I've been very restricted with what I would eat... Haven't had any real cravings for sweets so that's great!!!

I want to have good news to tell you but Friday of this week... Oh yeah!! We went to the gym yesterday and worked out, Michelle tried to kill me!!! So I think I'm gonna just go on my own from now on....

This morning I woke up sad, thinking that I was too old to get pregnant.... I have these thoughts a lot now that my birthday has come and gone.... It's like something inside me that keeps telling me that I'm older now.... But my doctor isn't telling me that, he keeps telling me I can have a baby.... So I have to keep believing that and keep pushing forward...

Operation 25 lbs...

Okay so I know a lot of you are wondering what's going on with my journey... Well I've decided that I want to lose 25 lbs. before we try again. I know that you're thinking "she doesn't need to lose weight" well thank you!!! But I do!!! And from reading books and talking to doctors being obese is a hindrance to becoming pregnant. So if I'm willing to spend money to become pregnant, I think I can spend some time losing weight. So as of today I'm 237.2 lbs (WOW!!) So I think if I can get 25 lbs. off it will make it easier for me to get pregnant.

Also, I want to be healthy while I'm pregnant. So wish me luck and pray for me. I will do better with keeping up this blog with info and my journey (both journeys)....


So I plan to give up soda, sweets (maybe minimize) try not to eat any fried foods and eat more fruits and vegetables... This is my hardest challenge ever....

I'm tempted to put a picture on here so you can see my progress.... Working up the nerves... I will have Michelle take a picture tonight and when I get the nerves I'll put it up here...

More Progress....

So my new work schedule is so that I'm off on Mondays... So woke up this morning with a plan to find out the cheapest cost for the meds I need and have the nurse call them in.... Called several fertility specialty pharmacy and found that one of the big chain drugstore had the lowest price, but I had to call a 800 # because the meds I need isn't in the stores...

So that's down now only waiting on CD 1.....


I'm so excited about starting again, the 2 months that we were on "winter break" was nice but it's baby making time again!!!

Getting Excited Again!!

Okay I know it's been a moment, but I'm back! I was just online looking for SBS, just found the one we're gonna use... I will call the doctor's office Monday to get the nurse to order the meds. We're going in all the way now. That includes the shots, the pills and doing the IUI twice each cycle.

So I've been drinking caffeine, going to Starbucks and not doing the things that I was doing before... But starting Monday I will get back on track and start everything that will help us, because tomorrow is SuperBowl Sunday!!!! So I would be lying if I said I wasn't gonna eat junk food tomorrow...


GO STEELERS!!!!
