Sorry I've been MIA lately. My grandparents have been visiting for the past 10 day and it was a whirlwind of events that consisted of the following: NYC, Cape Cod and Plymouth, MA, the casino near my house, Old Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts, visiting the mansions in Newport, RI and spending Memorial Day weekend on the coast of Maine. And while I love my grandparents to death, I wasn't sad to see them leave this morning because all that running around can seriously wear a girl out!
I want to say thank you to everyone who responded to my last post. I talked with a couple people and the IVF clinic near my sister's house and we decided not to go through with the surrogacy. If we hadn't already shelled out $15K through adoption then it would be a totally different story but at this point I think we're just going to stick with our original plan. Besides, after explaining the process of an FET to my sister, she didn't seem too thrilled about all that was involved :)
So this past weekend we went to the coast of Maine and stayed in a hotel for a couple days. During that time Brandon and I took advantage of having our own hotel room *cough cough*. Imagine my surprise when I started spotting, and this morning it turned into a bonafide period. This is the first natural period I've had in 2+ years. Makes me wonder what's going on down there. I guess we'll have to see if it happens again next month, though I'm certainly not keeping my hopes up.
We have exactly 4 weeks till our trip to Peru. Due to my grandparents' recent visit I've gained a couple pounds back from the weight I lost but I'm determined to get rid of it again before my trip. My goal is to lose 5 pounds in the next 4 weeks. Totally doable. I just need to focus on my water and salt intake because lately I've been swelling up in my fingers and ankles.
Well, that's about all that's going on right now. I hope everyone enjoyed their Memorial Day weekend!!

YAY for a natural period!!! That is a big step! Now here's for prayers for a normal cycle every month :-) Keep that focus and determination on losing weight and getting healthy and I believe one way or another God will bless you for it! :-D
