Alright, weighed in this morning after my walk and am down another .8 lbs, for a grand total of 9.4 lbs! Only .6 lbs to 10 total! Rock on! Passed my 5%! YAY!
Then headed to the doc's for my annual (gyn was earlier in the month, this is my general practictioner) and got a clean bill of health from her. Just to keep trying for baby and keep working out and losing weight! I was down from their records last year, but only by about 1.5 lbs, so that tells you I was gaining this year instead of losing! That has turned around now!
No real other excitement. Walk this morning was good. Didn't take Sierra because DH was worried about her limp, but she isn't anymore. So maybe will walk again on Thurs. Pedi with a friend and her daughter (3) on Fri, daughter's first pedi...will be fun! Then prep for the party. Will be a small affair this year, oh well...works for me! Off to study now but wanted to make sure I blogged about weightloss since this week I didn't think there would be any, but there was! YAY ME!
Oh, on a weird note...I have been having random dreams (never dream) the last 5 nights. And I have painted my nails 5 times...trying to be cute, but they end up coming out like crap. Hopefully what I did now will stay. Very indecisive lately. ODD!

Interesting couple of days
So it was an interesting weekend to say the least...
Saturday: ran Sierra (eldest pup) to the vet to weigh her (they had put her on a diet - like Mama like Pup) and she is down 4 lbs! Good girl! Also wanted them to look at her right front paw as she has been limping - poor baby! Seems okay, just need to watch her and make sure it isn't Valley Fever (HEAVEN FORBID!). Then dropped her at home, and went to Dream Dinners with Mom (you choose from their menu and they prep (read buy and cut) the food, then you go in and prepare your dinners using their recipies, then take them home and freeze until you are ready to use them!) Love it and I can even tell DH to cook some nights! Home again to put them in the freezer and then waste some time until we left for dinner with friends, so I worked on my pet project to get speedhumps in our neighborhood - have to get 60% of the affected neighbors to agree, no easy task. So I was writing letters to out-of-state owners pleading for them to sign petitions. We'll see if it works! Then, went to Fuddruckers to meet friends and have yummy food (I had saved up Points and looked up values online, so I splurged and had a turkey burger, fries, cheese sauce and a shake - well, half a shake, I was full!) After dinner we hit Golf n' Stuff for mini-golf, something we all agreed we hadn't done since high school but it was fun, even though I racked up the most points (read: lost!). And got eaten alive by mosquitos! Killin' me today! Home fairly early and relaxing while DH prepped the quad to go out with his buddy the next day.
Sunday: up by 6:45 am to head to the pool to swim laps with my dad, my team and my coach. Then off to breakfast with Dad as is tradition now-a-days. After breakfast, Dad left and I met up with Mom at the Farmer's Market to look at produce. Found tamales and Green Chile Stew, and jerky for DH. YUMMY! Then headed to Ulta to waste time and look at make-up, where they ended up doing my make-up and of course I found lots of goodies (BIG SALE!). Finally home to relax - painted my nails (twice and will probably do it again tonight, just don't like how they came out. I was experimenting with colors for french, and it's not my best work) and watched Lucky You (Drew Barrymore and Eric Bana - great romantic comedy). That's when the phone rang...(dun, dun, DUUNNN!)it was Mom and it was business that I shouldn't discuss, but let's just say what she said was a shocker and upset me. I'll leave it at that. DH came home around 4 pm, red as a lobster! He had neglected to put sunscreen on thinking that he would be okay under the shade and his helmet (and you ask how long he has lived in AZ?). Well he paid for it last night and today. I'm sure he was sore when he got up this morning, poor guy!
Now today: Up at 5:45 am (as hard as it was!) and off to el gym. Actually called a friend on the way to the gym (she was leaving for 2 week adventure in Europe - lucky girl - and wanted to wish her well and catch up a bit since we can't for two weeks - don't know what I will do without her! We had a nice chat and right about now she should be over the Atlantic on her way to Paris, then onto Prague!! I asked to go in her suitcase, but even with my weighloss I wouldn't have fit!) Anyway, tried to work off some of my anger from the phone call last night...not at Mom, but the situation she had presented to me. Done (and I mean DONE - so tired from the weights and lunges - have I said I HATE lunges? I do!) and off to the showers and to get dressed (found a zit, which doesn't happen to my face and could be a pregancy symptom, but won't know until Fri), then into the office. I had to will myself to put a smile on my face for the ladies (in light of the situation at hand) and managed to get through the day but it was a long one. Had a headache since about 1:30 pm and am so ready for dinner of Fish Tacos!
So, now you are caught up and I am done rambling. Keep us in your prayers all week please...Fri is the big day! Then July 4th party on Sat, so we will either be celebrating with no alcohol for me or commisserating with lots of alcohol for me! I vote for the first one! Happy week all!

I'm not a fan of waiting!
Why does this take so long? I know there is a lot going on in my body right now, but seriously this 2ww crap is not my favorite thing! Plus semen takes 3 months (!) to develop! So changes we make now, won't show up for 3 months! YOWZA! This waiting stuff SUX! But what else can I do except take care of myself and pray. I've told a couple people about the dentist situation and they are supportive, but the online posts are not so happy. So we just continue to pray and pray and pray and pray and pray and pray and pray and pray.....
On another note, I'm watching what I am eating and don't get me wrong I am very happy with my 8.6 lb lost over the past month, BUT...my husband has cut his beer drinking since last Tuesday, and he has lost 13 lbs! 13 lbs in a week! SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO not fair! That is just wrong. Plus, he isn't a big guy to begin with so I don't know where it is coming from! Last night when we were talking about it, he was telling me that I should do his diet...which on Friday entails eating A PIZZA for lunch! You know I would weigh double what I do now if I did that! Plus he basically works out 8-10 hours a day...don't have that ability either. My butt gets a workout (from sitting on it all day) but that is about it! Which is why I work out at least 5 days a week and hard then!
Okay, enough rant...just pray for us please. I so want this to be this month!

Who knew the dentist could be so exciting?!
I've been up since about 5:15 this morning. I had to get to the gym and then to the dentist at 7:50 am. Got there and seems my gums are a little more sensitive than usual. Need to floss, yada yada. She asked if I was on any hormones...didn't know why. Told her about the Prometrium, but didn't think that was a hormone. So as she is finishing up, she reiterates, "You were jumpier today than most patients and your gums were bleeding, are you sure you aren't on hormones?" I said I was 85% positive and asked why. She said, "When your hormones go up, your gums become more tender and bleed more." I asked if that could be related to pregnancy as we have been trying and her face lit up. "Absolutely! There is even a medical condition called Pregnancy Gingivitus because people stop flossing because their gums are so tender." I told her we didn't know if we were, but it was possible.
You know that I flew out of that office to call Dr. H (our RE) and was told Prometrium is NOT hormones! So I am truely hoping that this is the month. Tried to call DH but he didn't answer, so called Talia to relay the news (she is always so supportive) and almost brought her to tears on the phone with excitement! So anyone out there, please pray for us for the next 2 weeks! This may be it! I'm trying not to get too excited, but this feels like sign #2 (first one being Acupuncture on Mon's experience!). Cross those fingers folks! Thanks!
