My Birthday

It was pretty low key - I did have a nice dinner with the hubby and then the neighbors and my cousin came over and John got me a cake and we all had some cake - it was just they way I wanted it to be.

Therapy is going well - she said I am depressed and full of anixety - I think that is where alot of my health issues are coming from. I am doing pretty well now - the thrush is almost gone and the bowels are somewhat under control. I am still on my special diet - but I am a bit concerned about it because I keep losing weight - I lost 16 pounds so far - I am down to 124 pounds and I really do not want to go past 120. I think I need to add more food into my diet - my husband says I am not eating enough. I am just nervous to eat because of all the bowel problems. It is a vicious cycle.
Trader Joe's has become my new best friend - I love that place - my favorite snack right now is organic popcorn with olive oil - so good - I am really just not eating processed foods and alot of organic foods - no junk.
On the baby front - I think if I can get my health in order and tackle some of my anixety with the therapist then I will try to cycle after the holidays in February - maybe. A November baby sounds nice - if it was only that easy though.

Here is a picture of my b-day cake that my hunny got for me:



This is what my BBF got me for my birthday - it is an accent table for my bedroom - I love it - it is ordered but has not arrived yet - I cannot wait to see how it looks in my space!!

Glad your birthday celebration is what you wanted it to be. That is a lot of weight to lose, I mean it's a great thing, but when it's fast it can feel worrisome. Wishing you luck with your baby goals, whenever you feel ready. I too am trying to avoid the holidays for IVF, I did that last year and it was too much extra pressure.
