To Make Up for the Long Post Below

Alright, my previous post is our journey through infertility. I currently know SEVERAL couples just in the beginning stages of this struggle so I felt I needed to share our story. But then I felt bad for the long post of things many of you already know....LOL!
So here is just a short and sweet something for all you others:
I am so grateful for the sunshine we have had the last few days.
I am wishing I could already break out the chacos and along with that, have painted my toes HOT PINK already!
Mike did AWESOME this week. As many of you know, last year he lost 30 unwanted pounds. Well, with some slacking on his part, he had gained back 6-7 of those pounds. He still wanted to lose 20 pounds anyways. So he has been working out really well but has not lost any weight. This last week he decided he needed to pull out some extra stops in order to jump start some weight loss. He rides the exercise bike at level 8-10 for 45 minutes a day, does some wii boxing, and this week for a jump start, was okd by the doc to go down to 1100 cals a day. (This will increase starting on Thursday to 1400.) So this week (since Wednesday) he has dropped 2 pounds after not being able to lose for 3 months. I am so proud of him. It has been really hard for him since I am eating a lot more calories then him (due to the pregnancy) but he has done well.
As far as my weight. I am even with my pre-preggo weight at this time. I lost 10 pounds at the beginning and have gained back 5 as of my last appointment. However, of the 10 I lost, I had gained 5 during the middle of that month from the overstimulation so I feel like I am even. The doctor still shows me as down 5 pounds though. I have my glucose test on Friday and am a little nervous.
That is about it for us. Everything is going really well. We both are feeling good and healthy. Nothing too exciting.
