The Next Steps
I love being aunt and especially getting to welcome a new baby! We're still in csection waiting limbo but soon Jace will be arriving before the morning is over and I will have a second nephew to love on. 😍 Maybe that's why I'm on here blogging instead paying attention to baby updates! Two nephews to love on. Will is at that fun age where he's discovering everything and telling us about it and has cute little things he can't say right and also repeats things we say which is mostly adorable but will one day get that adorable boy in trouble. 😄 And the fun part of this baby coming today is I get to stay at the hospital at night so my brother can go home to be with Will. I love loving on babies! 😊 Andrew reminded me that while we're continuing to wait for our own miracle we can take joy in our nephews and our friends babies and love them. (And it's good practice for Andrew since he's hasn't had as much practice around babies) Waiting may be hard but we have plenty of babies to love on in the mean time to remind us to be faithful in the plan and rejoice in the blessings that we do have. Our blessing will arrive in the Lords perfect timing. And I promise I will post pictures of the latest bundle of joy along with some embarrassing pictures of me to show my progress.
Speaking of my progress- updates are here! I am down 44 pounds and continuing to lose weight by just continuing to eat less than 20 grams of fat a day and less than 1300 calories. Keeping the weight off is easier than I thought. The habits of eating grapes and apples has been ingrained in me now so it's ok to have the occasional bag of Doritos thrown in there too. Not the entire bag, just a snack size bag. Believe me when I say once your stomach gets use to the low fat system, you don't want to give it more. Your stomach will make you pay for it later. 😖 But you have to have both too. You can't just eat healthy with out rewarding yourself! Little rewards along the way until you reach your big goal otherwise the waiting is painful. The pain of the negative pregnancy is also getting less. I will probably not even believe the positive test when it comes and be the crazy lady buying one of every test and gallons of juice to pee on them all with. 😝 Until, then I will continue to amaze people with my abilities to eat a bag of chips or a candy bar and still lose weight because there is no progress with out rewards.
So that's all of the avoiding the subject I can do-we are moving to the next steps. Andrew will be going to make sure that everything is good on his end and I'll be going for the lovely HSG-just gotta find that $1000 laying on the side of the road. 😶 After that we will have a direction to go in that will hopefully end in us having our bundles of joy running around and causing the chaos that has ensued at the family house involved.
On last random thought-my Christmas tree is up. 😌 People who know me know how much I love Christmas and how much it means to me so it puts me in my happy place to have the tree up. 🎄 It's that time of the year that everyone comes together and get back to what matters in this world. Family. Take joy in the things you have and don't want for things you don't have. Be content and happy in the blessings you have, be thankful for everything you have. James Taylor- Have yourself a merry little Christmas I love this song and it has caused the current mood 🙂
