Way to go on your water drinking, I AM proud of you! I used to hate water, too, but started drinking it while dieting. Now I try to drink at least 8 glasses per day and I'll throw in a diet soda once or twice a day. I used to eat very unhealthy. Whatever I wanted, I ate (lots of fast food). I had the metabolism for it, too, so it didn't catch up with me until my late 20s. Now I watch my calorie intake and try to eat small mini-meals every 2 hours or so to keep my metabolism steady. I used to eat only white bread; I've now switched to only wheat/brown bread. I try to eat 2 servings of veggies/fruit at both lunch and dinner. I do not care for milk AT ALL (unless it's with cereal or sweet desserts like cake or cookies, which I try to stay away from) so I supplement with lowfat yogurt and cheese. I don't like most fish but I do like salmon! I also love most seafood. Yum!
Shaun and I both used to smoke and drink quite a bit in college and in our 20s. I quit smoking (Tuesday was 2 years ago, actually!) and still drink occasionally. Shaun quit smoking too, but he has recently (within the last month) started back, blaming the stress of his job. I'm trying hard to get him to quit again, because it's very bad for his health (and for his swimmers, too)!!!
He has said he will quit Sunday, so hopefully he keeps his word. When I get pregnant, he has to quit anyway, so he might as well do it now. (See what I did there with the "when"? Not letting myself get too excited!
)
Yay for your cute little digital tests!!! Are they the ones that have the smiley face? Adorable!!! I love those! If I'm not pregnant this cycle, I'm ordering them again. I actually have test sticks, just not the thingy to stick them in (I lost it). I just love that little face smiling up at me! If I may make a suggestion... Keep using the cheaper ones every day and use the Clearblue ones every other day. Then when the line starts getting dark on your regular ones, confirm it with a digital one. It's disappointing enough to see the circle with no face in it (Low reading) and then top it off with your money being washed down the drain. That's just me, but I wanted to share my thoughts!
I love love love Layla Grace and Caleb Jesse! Kaden Carter is cute, but I like Caleb Jesse more! Obviously the choice is totally up to you two. All three are great, really, you can't go wrong!
FX that it IS a sign for this month, my sweet!!!
