Hello!

So, not to keep you hanging, nothing happened on the baby front last month. For some reason (and I never do this) I took a pregnancy test and of, quelle suprise — big fat negative. I wasn’t sad, just, well, resigned.

But I now have a new toy to play with – the fertility monitor….woohoo! Just a few days in, and I already look forward to pressing the button first thing in the morning to find out if I have to pee on a stick. Then I watch for 5 minutes until is says, well nothing. It’s a machine. It doesn’t talk (can someone invent a talking one? That would be cool!)

The weight loss plan continues a pace – we’re now doing the ‘Eating Clean’ diet – although it’s not a diet, just a way of life. I got inspired when I picked up a magazine the other day that mentioned it – Hubs even likes it, although he has a fixation with bacon and my freezer is FULL of meat (which I stopped eating like, 5 years ago, but it works out.)

So I’m keeping busy; getting healthy, being social — Hubs has even signed us up for a 5 K run! We ran together ONCE about 18 months ago and he swore he’d never run with me again (I’ve done a few marathons in my time), but it seems the worm has turned. I just really appreciate that he’d even entertain the idea. Don’t worry, I’ll be kind….

2 friends are now expecting; one in January and one in March, but it doesn’t hurt so much to hear their news — we have to keep on living our lives until it’s our turn to say ‘Woohoooooooooo!’ Reading such good news of women who are finally pregnant, or who now have babies in their lives through adoption (like Waiting Lisa — brilliant news!!) it’s encouraging. And it’s a reminder to all of us not to give up. Soon we’ll be mothers, and then we’ll be wondering why we never have time to do anything!!
