I've been a terrible blogger for over a month-- bad Becca! But it hasn't been wasted. I've spent the past 2 months working on a much healthier me and I'm so happy with the results!
Take a look!

Pretty awesome if you ask me and I couldn't be happier. I've lost 18 lbs since May 24th! I still have a lot of work to do; another 21 lbs before I reach my 126 lb frame and size 4 jeans but I know I can do it!
I've been half assing my eating and workouts for a few weeks now (ever since the hubby got home) and I haven't had any losses to report so I need to crank this puppy into high gear again! I really want this weight gone by my birthday which is November 6th. If I keep this pace up ( well not the past 2 weeks pace, lol) I could possibly loose the last of this baby love by October!
Here's to hoping, riding on the wings of hard work and determination:)
Speaking of baby love... Yeah
Not a fun week for this mama! We had our first pregnancy scare which was VERY scary. We all know I just gave birth 5 months ago, ekk! (I promise I'm working on a Sugarcube update) And that my husband is deploying in the very near future. I hate even typing that. So living 3,000 miles from home, my live in sister moving to Vegas in September and that leaving me with very little support and help--- The thought of another baby on the way was VERY sobering.
This post is not meant to hurt or offend any awesome ladies out there having trouble getting pregnant or just not being able to have babies. Seriously. It's just not a good time for us. Had we been pregnant, I would have welcomed the little angel with eager arms and nothing short of heart bursting love. But I'm really glad God has different plans for us right now.
I had a really hard pregnancy, physically and emotionally. I'm not looking forward to having another one like it so soon, without the support of my husband and, or family close by. I would also be starting this pregnancy 20+ lbs heavier which doesn't sit well with me. Obviously I could work hard to not gain much, but still. Not to mention just the financial side of having another child!
We completely plan to have another baby. R and I both want that little bubba running around, terrorizing his big sister;) And if baby #2 ends up being another girl--- Well, we might just try for baby # 3! We plan to try again, shortly after R returns from his tour, sometime mid 2013.
HOPEFULLY!
HOPEFULLY!
So what about you? What are y'alls thoughts on baby number 2 or 3? Would a baby scare be good news or bad timing or just not in your immediate plans?
Looking good mama! :) I'm so glad to hear your losing the baby weight. I'm 10lbs shy of my pre pregnancy weight.
ReplyDeleteThanks girlie! Congrats on beinging so close to your pre-pregnancy weight! Life just gets better and better as the weight comes off. It feels like my life is returning to a newer state of norm and that makes me HAPPY!
DeleteWell, we haven't even gotten to 1 yet, but I'm not going to lie, there's a small pit in my stomach that while SoldierMan's at NTC I'll find out we have a surprise coming. Not because we don't want kids, but we were hoping to wait until after the deployment, so he could be here for it all, like you say. Anyway, it's a 10000000 to 1 shot, but there's always that nagging in the back of your head....
ReplyDeleteGosh, I hate those small niggling feelings, haha! I SERIOUSLY thought we were pregnant. But I guess it was my body finally realizing that I'm having periods and decided to dump a boat load of symptoms in my lap this time around;)I've never prayed so hard for a period in my LIFE, lol!
DeleteWow! Your hard work is certainly paying off! And I completely understand the fear when you are possibly faced with a pregnancy when you aren't ready for it. Glad that God has different plans for your family.
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteYou look great!
ReplyDeleteMatt and I are done. We have one beautiful, perfectly healthy angel. That's enough for us.
Thanks Mama! I have to say, the idea of being done is really tempting! Especially putting all this work into getting my pre'baby body back, only to turn around and do it all over again;) We'll see...As it stands we want another one but I'm in NO RUSH for that to happen again, ha!
