Me :)
I’ll keep it short and start with pregnancy.
Another topic I will be discussing frequently is weight loss. I was at my ideal weight when I got married. 1 year later I had gained about 12 pounds 😦 I had wanted to lost those 12 pounds before I got pregnant but that never happened. I gained about 35 pounds during the pregnancy, which is not terrible. The weeks after I had the baby I lost 15 pounds – just from baby, etc. So that left me about 32 pounds away from where I wanted to be – back at my ideal weight. Eek. I knew I needed help, so I turned to Jenny Craig. Best thing I ever did. The food is awesome!! It’s super easy to do. I am now 4 months pp and I’m 10 pounds away from my goal weight – yay!! I’m not always perfect and I have my slip-ups but for the most part I follow the plan and I get out and walk with alexis about 4 times a week – she likes being out in the fresh air and I get some exercise!

Now that I have that taken care of – it seems that I have some lingering bleeding going on for which my Dr is scratching his head. After over 2 months of tinkering with birth control pills and going back and forth, I am finally going to have surgery. Ick. July 9th. Next week. A “mild general anesthetic” is what my Dr says. Then they will go in and take a look and see if they can find a cause and solution for the bleeding. I am not looking forward to it, but I guess that’s the way it has to be. Sucks. I am definitely not having another baby for a while!!
I just celebrated my 2 year wedding anniversary. We went to the Melting Pot – not exactly the same as our 1 yr anniversary which we marked with a 2 week trip to Alaska, but we can’t really go away for 2 weeks with a 3 month old (at the time) baby. It was nice. The last few months have been rough, but I suppose that’s normal since our lives have been turned upside down with the birth of the baby. Becoming parents has been wonderful and stressful. I think we are finally settling into a routine and we’re getting along better.
Not much else to say about me. I’m going to be staying at home for the foreseeable future. Hopefully I will go to graduate school next year and get a master’s degree and teach high school one day.
