06-7-2009 - Sad moment, but new doggy and doing well OkMy mood while writing this blog:
Ok



Hello ladies. I hope you all in the US had a good holiday weekend. I've just spent some time catching up on all of the messages and blogs, sorry it's been so long. It seems like there are quite a few that are reaching the home stretch of your pregnancies and I am soooo happy for you. You all deserve it!

We just adopted a new doggy over the weekend. She's a retired racing greyhound and we love her already. She has 2 speeds, sprint like lightning, and couch potato (and most of her time is spent as the latter).

I also had gained 5 pounds since my last PG, and enough was enough. So I've gotten into a regular walking/running routine daily, and I've lost 8 pounds in the last few weeks. I still need to work on eating better, but that will come in time, I know how to eat well, and I know how to cook, I just haven't been. :) DH would like to lose some weight too, so we will be in it together.

I noticed AF was a few days shorter this time around, I wonder if it was being so active. It's been refreshing not to be obsessing about TTC and I didn't even know what CD I was until I looked at a calendar (CD13). DH and I are doing great, our sex life is better than it has been in years, even when it's not my fertile time.

I would also like to boohoo for a second. Over the weekend, on facebook, I found an old friend. We were BFFs back in the day and have birthdays one day apart. When some stuff went down related to my wedding and her lying about some things, we lost touch. I just found out she has a 6 month old little girl. That's how old my baby would be if he/she had lived. It was like a knife through my heart. Like some weird cosmic thing that we would have birthdays a day apart and children with birthdays a day apart. Except it went horribly wrong. It just hurt so bad and I had a good cry and felt sorry for myself.

Keep the blogs and messages coming. I care about you all and want to see all of us be happy mommies some day. Thank you as always for being there for me, it means so much.

I am sorry that you felt that way about your old friend I know how hard it can be when something like that happens. Good luck with the continued weight loss 8 pounds is fantastic in a few weeks.

Hey lady. It's amazing how things can be going so well and then something happens that seems to put you right back on that emotional square one. I'm so sorry you got psychologically blindsided that way; they say time heals, but I think it just camoflages a bit. Anyway, it sounds like you're on a very healthy right now physically and spiritually; lots of love to you!

Ah hun - sending you a great big hug! Me and my sister were expecting 4 weeks apart - we were so excited - preggers together and having babies so close - but as you know - it didn't turn out that way...I find it very hard watching her with her belly - and I am so not looking forward to my due date that is slowly getting closer. I'm here for you if you need to chat xxx But - hey congrats for the weight loss and getting yourself back in shape!! Good going girl!! I actually started yesterday - my 30 day challenge!! We become so consumed with ttc - it must feel great just to be free!! You're heading down a really healthy road - that is amazing!

HUGS I know about the knife in the heart moments. I'm sorry you had to feel that as it's painful for sure.

I LOVE Greyhounds :-) They are sooo graceful and just beautiful dogs. My friend rescused one and he's just the sweetest dog.

That must have been a really hard thing seeing that on Facebook. It is so cool to be in touch with a lot of people through there but it can also be very strange to see things and know things that you never would have seen or known without Facebook.
Congratulations on the new dog! Hope the great sex life brings another new addition to the family soon!!! I wish you luck with everything!

I'm sorry Becky. I had similar thoughts over the weekend. My sister has a 4th of July party every year and there was a baby there that was about a year old and I thought... "wow, our baby would have been atleast 6 months old by now".. it was hard for me.
I feel you girl. I know exactly what you mean by a "knife to the heart" cause that's exactly what it's like.
Good luck on the exercising!! I need the determination!! When I became pregnant I lost 20 pounds just eating well!! Well, I gained that all back and then some... and I shouldn't be.
Sending you lots of hugs Becky. ((Hugs)) xxx Sam
