I didn't update last Monday, because I really didn't have a whole lot to say. Still don't. I was down .8 at last week's weigh-in which brought my total loss to 16 pounds. I know that I am up a little bit this week...I can tell by my home scale. I snacked too much this week, but I am getting back on track for this week. Hopefully, I only have a small gain that I can easily lose!
I am about halfway through my first cycle off BCP. I am feeling pretty good off them. I am hoping that my cycle is pretty regular. I really want to get pregnant soon, because I would love a summer baby this time. I am trying (probably not very successfully) not to put any pressure on Joe. He already knows how much I want to have another child. I think he does too, but that he's probably afraid to actually come right out and admit it, if that makes any sense.
Thinking about Baby #2 has led me to think a lot about the sex of a future child. I would be lying if I said I didn't want a little girl. There is something special about a mother/daughter relationship. I do so much with my Mom, and I would love to share that with a daughter of my own. On the other hand, having a little boy is incredible also! And with two boys, they would be able to play together and they'd be interested in similar things. I know that I will get what God wants me to have, and I will be content with that as long as the baby is healthy. But I definitely can't stop a little part of me from hoping for a girl!
The other thing I've been torn about is finding out the sex of the next one. We both did not want to know with Ethan, and it was wonderful and so exciting when I was pushing. We knew in a matter of minutes (okay, it was HOURS), we would finally know if "Little Bean" was a boy or a girl. Next time, I think I would like to know. I think I'd like to be able to tell Ethan that he is going to have a baby brother or sister. I'm not sure how Joe feels about finding out. I think he'll go along with whatever I want to do. I know I don't have to decide this now, but it's something to think about!
Wow...this whole post was about TTC Baby #2...can you tell how ready I am??? LOL

You sound like me with #3....
But NO WAY am I really ready! I am glad you are but reading yourpost makes me want it even more! :)
kids are GREAT!! and I think no matter WHAT it is...you are going to love that baby
Keep us updated on the decision to find out when the time comes! :)
I will be praying for a girl AND for a healthy baby, boy or GIRL! I am excited about #2 but a bit nervous when I think about it.
Keep up the good work this week and NO SNACKING! :)
Laura-
I'm totally the same way, except I'm wishing boy. I know another girl would be great for Jana especially with how close in age they will be, but I'd love to have a boy!
I think we're not going to find out with this one either. I want to, but J really doesn't want to, so I think I'm giving in again. He's so set against finding out.
I'll definitely be thinking happy, healthy baby thoughts, with a hint of pink! LOL
Hugs,
Lindsay
Laura - I hope you get pg soon too! I can send you some of my maternity clothes, they'll be the right season. I love that we got both a boy and girl, and totally understand your thoughts. I know I would have loved another girl, but would have been somewhat disappointed. I was so over the moon when they told me Maddox was a boy!
Good luck and keep up that weight loss. I'm going to have to get really serious as soon as I stop breastfeeding, I'm thrilled to be back in my clothes, but I need to lost another 30 lbs to NOT be overweight anymore. I know how much better I'd feel in a size 8-10 rather than a 14!
Good luck
Michelle
