Good News and Bad News

Okay, the bad news first...I am so horribly miserable from this kidney stone!!! I feel like I have to pee ALL the time, and I am getting twinges of pain off and on most of the day. My urologist appointment is tomorrow morning, and I am PRAYING that she doesn't tell me that we should still "wait it out". The damn thing has been causing me problems for 6 weeks now...I highly doubt it's going to come out all of a sudden.

On to the good news...at last night's weigh-in, I was down 3 pounds! That means I am down another 2.5 pounds after figuring in last week's 1/2-pound gain. My total loss for the last 7 weeks is 12.6 pounds!! YAY ME!!!!!!!!

More good news: On Sunday night, Joe said that he agrees that getting rid of my BCP is a good idea. I have 5 more pills in this pack and then I will stop. We agreed that for the next several months, we will not be actively TTC but we will not be preventing. If I get pregnant, I get pregnant. If not, we will TTC more aggressively once Ethan turns 2. I am happy that he brought the subject up without any prodding from me. I am happy that he truly gave it some thought and made the decision without pressure on my part. And, of course, I am happy that we will be TTC soon! I hope I can continue to lose some weight during our "not trying, but not preventing" months!

Laura, isn't it great when we make them think that it is their idea? LOL. Seriously though, good luck with TTC!! I have been getting the itch lately too. I just haven't been able to talk to Corey about it, too much going on. Things will calm down soon and then hopefully we are on the same page.
