38 y/o married to my best friend since 9/12/1998; We met in 1992. Married in 1998; I'm a '91 graduate of the Univ. of Houston. Working on Masters degree in French Literature when I met the love of my life! He was in law school. I left my job in 1996 to work w/him when he opened his Law firm. Married in 1998. Working on our "family" diligently & actively since June 2004; 2 miscarriages, one Sept 2004 and another Dec 2004; Break from TTC per doctor's orders in Jan 2005; resumed family planning once all genetic testing was completed. March 2005 BFN; April 2005 BFN! May 2005 BFN! June 2005? Doc had "the" talk with us, if no bfp this cycle, it's on to IVF --test tube baby for us? maybe! Update: July 2005 underwent 1st IVF cycle, with SUCCESS! We conceived two beautiful little boys, born March 30, 2006 via emergency c-section. I am now wallowing in the joys of early motherhood. That is, lack of sleep, fatigue. My compensation? Smiles from the babies in the middle of the night... 11/14/2006: Babies are now 7 1/2 months old and I couldn't be more happy!

BMI

Walked 3 miles on the treadmill today! YAY! 338 calories and 105 of those fat calories. Calculated my body mass indezx, 22.90 This is important for IVF since bmi affects pregnancy rates/outcomes. Normal ranges are 18.5 to 24.9 so I'm safely in the zone. Considering I'm exercising now, I plan to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 127 or better. 125 tops, I don't like getting too thin.

Had an oatmeal breakfast, Luby's lunch (roast beef with mashed potatoes (no gravy) and fresh green beans (i.e., not canned) a whole wheat roll, and sweet tea (caffeine, I know, but it was mmmm good!) I was very happy with today's lunch. Yesterday I had a great Greek Salad topped with boiled shrimp, equally scrumptious but probably twice the fat!

No dinner tonight since we had a late lunch, about 3:30pm. So I really wasn't hungry at all for dinner. Plan on weighing in tomorrow morning! Got up on there this morning at 134.

Antoinette did not get the gel to help her cervix thin and get ready for labor. She's going in tomorrow but Doc said to expect to deliver Thursday! Pushing it back some more if she doesn't need to be induced! AHH! We're all ready for baby Arianna Denise!

night night.
