"Keep up the good work."

So today I went by my feritility specialist's office to give them a copy of my shot records from when I got the MMR done. Well when I walked in, there were no patients and Mrs. Terri was standing there. She was asking how everything was going. Basically, I was telling her that in the next couple of weeks I plan on having all of the money to her.

See, Bryan and I have been pinching every penny to pay my medical bills and to come up with Monthly Monitoring which is $500 per month and includes all fertility visits and treatment for the month paid in advance. I believe that we have it now.. just a matter of if we can handle the next couple of weeks without needing it for something else.

She's also trying to get me to lose a few pounds just to be healthy enough for pregnancy and to get myself back in good shape. I went on to tell her that I've been walking in the afternoons with ladies from work for about an hour at a time and I'm only required to do 30 minutes per day.

Although my eating habits aren't perfect.. they're pretty darn good. I drink tons of water and never really been a soda fan and I don't just sit around and eat a bunch of junk neither. What's kinda funny is that the other day I picked up a gallon of sweet tea from the dollar store and when I got home, I realized that I had accidentally grabbed Splenda tea. Mrs. Terri said that it was karma for trying to drink sweet tea to begin with. :)

The last conversation with my fertility specialist was not the best.. probably because I'm too honest [if there is such thing] and end up telling on myself. Today however, she basically told me that she was very proud of me for all of my hard work with my health and our budgeting. It made my day.. completely.

In the same sense for honesty, when I'm doing good.. I'm really doing good.. and well, you know the rest. If I'm not working out and eating healthy, I will tell you.. "Yeah, I'm pretty much slacking." But after our last conversation, I really wanted to get my butt in gear and now it's routine and actually fun for me to take my afternoon walk.. I even jogged a mile today!

She also gave me the option to start the treatment a month earlier on June 1st since she says that I'm ready. It was so reassuring and motivating to do what she said ["keep up the good work"] and to see how much closer we are to realizing our goals and dreams. Bryan and I are going to stick with our original plan to start the cycle on July 1st.. but I can't wait!

Ok, enough rambling.. I'm just so excited! But I will get back to eating my hot dog [singular] without the bun and ketchup of course. :)
