Well, a lot has been going on the last few months. I guess the biggest thing is that I have lost 25lbs so far! Back on July 29th I started to eat better and work out. My Dr. also put me on a weight loss pill. I have been off of them for 2 weeks now and have maintained my weight so I'm very happy about that! One of the reasons why I started on my weight loss journey is because my husband I want to try to conceive another bundle of joy. After having a 2nd miscarriage in March of this year. We decided that we would just wait a little long well I get myself healthy. So will see what happens this month. I'm not getting my hopes up to high since it will be our first month. It would be nice for it to happen this month because I would be due around the time Reilly starts 1st grade. So we will see what happens.
Also like a lot of people we have debt! Blah!!!! Hate it!!! However we have been working towards paying it off. Right now we both work full time for the same company. Things are getting really slow around here like they do every year around here. But we have been working really hard. Because the only reason why I'm working is because of the Debt!! I don't want to work full time at all! I hate it because I want to be able to pick my DD up from school or drop her off. And Volunteer at her school during the day. So the deal was that once we pay off all our debt that I could stay home. Or if we have a 2nd child because it just wouldn't make sense for us to have one in before and after school and one in all day. Then cost of that wouldn't make sense for us either. So good news is that we should have all of our debt paid off by this time next year! So having a 2nd child around Aug/Sept would work out awesome!!! LOL Paying off this debt can't come fast enough I know we didn't build up this debt over night so it's not going to go away over night. I know it takes time. But I want it done NOW!!! So that's really all I have been thinking about. LOL

Congrats on working down that debt... and I hope that you get a big fat positive when it comes time to test. :)
When I got pregnant this time, I was losing weight. It's like every time I go on a diet, I get pregnant. My husband is swearing off allowing slim fast in the house ever again. Haha

I understand where you are. Right now, one of my entire paychecks goes to pay off credit cards - it sucks!! We are also TTC a 2nd baby, so hopefully we can get our debt paid off before it gets here and I can quit my job like I want to. Good Luck!!
PS Congratulations on the weight loss!!!
