Looking back two years ago now - had you told me I was going to have a little girl coming and that I would be in the best shape I have ever been - I would have not been so sure. I mean - I was 355. I had PCOS. I could barely walk through a store at 28 years old. I had no energy. I had no life.

Now - I am nearing 36 weeks into my pregnancy. I have a social life again. Even this far into pregnancy I am still only 181.8 lbs. (yeah - I have been eating anything I want to - I won't lie)...

Well, about to round 16 weeks in my pregnancy. Still trying to get used to the concept that it is ok for me to gain weight. I love my little belly I have growing, but I feel like a house now LOL Never thought I would hear the day that rounding 170 lbs would make me feel "huge" hehehehe.

I am dealing with my other challenges now. Am quitting smoking. It is going ok. For the most part, I have stuck to it, but I do slip. I gotta stop that, but it is definitely way better than...

We trimmed the entire front area like we have been meaning to do for three years...planted all of our annuals...

11 weeks through my first pregnancy today. Great feeling, but dang it I miss my energy!!! I haven't done anything strenuous in weeks but am so wiped I feel like I just got done running a marathon.

I am still in denial on the whole thing though. I mean - me - the one who couldn't get a regualr period because of severe PCOS, was told that I would need infertility when I was ready - pregnant quickly on the all-natural method. Not only did this surgery give me so much back in my...

Well, one of the many hopeful outcomes I was going for happened! Actually, what is ironic, is that the last time I logged in here was February 12th. Might not seem like a big date for anyone, but it was the day I conceived. Just saw the humor in that.

Well, an update to me and my husband is that with my new-found fatigue, I have been home every night and sleeping most of my free time. There doesn't seem to be the same stress that there was before. But I know it is not resolved...
