May 11, 2000

Okay, y'all are going to think I am insane; but, I have made 2 sets of "coming from the hospital" booties for our baby (that will come to us one day, maybe soon). One pair is a little less foo-foo and all white and the other pair is more frilly and white with pink trim. If I finally get really, really lucky, maybe I'll need both pairs at the same time. I don't know though.

Well, I am starting to de-stress myself about this whole baby business. If I got PG then whoopee!! However, if I didn't then that would work out as well. I could get settled down in California and start my life there first. Ian and I have had another one of our very revealing discussions and have determined that the really huge part of my fears and me being soooooo upset, is that I am afraid that I will never get PG.

When I was 18, I had a small eating disorder, (well, I always have to deal with it) I got down to a size 1 and those were baggy on me. I was 100 pounds and I am supposed to be around 130-135 pounds. Well, now I am getting a little chunky around the middle. I don't understand it because I was eating so well. Ian said it happened overnight. I know, YES!, he told me I was getting fat on my stomach! Well, I asked him to tell me the gospel truth and I felt kind of bad when I freaked out on him. I am now officially going on a diet and loose a few pounds. I started walking last night. I am doing sit-ups every day and am drinking more water and eating fruits and veggies when I want to snack. I am trying to do it right this time.

I am going to keep a positive mind and I really, really need to quit smoking!! Ian and I both want to quit, but, it is so hard. It's best if I quit now though instead of waiting to find out if I am PG first. If anyone is reading this and knows of a place to rent and receptionists’ jobs in the area of Oceanside, California then please post a message. I am needing all this stuff to start all over for our new life in Calif. We'll actually be living in Escondido.

Well, I am going to leave on that note. I hope to hear from y’all. +++++ vibes to everyone TTC!!!!!!!
