Weekend Fun & Holding Patterns

Hi all!

Hope you guys had a great weekend. Did you get some rest? Have some fun? I did a bit of both, plus a lot of wondering, lol…

Saturday was a pretty quiet day around these parts – just hanging with the kids, playing at the park. Yesterday we went to Willowbrook Park in Staten Island for a picnic in honor of my “little” brother’s birthday. I put “little” in quotes because he is over a foot taller than me!

Me and my brother


The girls enjoyed spending the day outside, and had fun hanging with their Nana & PopPop.

The best part of this park was the HUGE carousel they had there. The girls must have gone on that thing about 5 or 6 times!
Of course, I got sick riding on it, lol! Yup, still having symptoms of possible pregnancy. If I am preggo, it would be a good thing – we were going to start trying soon, anyway. I was hoping to be under 200 before that happened, but God has a funny way of saying, “Uh, yeah – you don’t really get to control things like this!

SO. I’m not going to really know if I’ve got a bun in the oven for another week and 1/2. In the meantime, I am going to up my calories to maintain my current weight. I don’t want to eat a restricted calorie level and risk hurting a baby if there is one. I will continue my workout schedule…OH – by the way, I went to the gym FIVE TIMES last week, Holla!

I am going to weigh in every day to make sure my weight stays the same. Then at the end of next week, if Aunt Flow doesn’t show, I’ll pee on a stick and see what happens!

GAH! This is so crazy!!! If I really am preggo, then this kid REALLY wanted to be here because we have been very careful. The Hubs and I are excited, too, so if I’m not pregnant, we’re going to be dissapointed. My emotions are all over the place, people!! The one good thing – I’m not looking to eat them away. Actually, I’ve been so queasy the last couple of days that eating has not been a main concern of mine. Figures!

Have a great week, everyone! I’m off to read up on your blogs!

    You're right – pregnancies don't always happen when planned! We have seven kids, so I know how that goes! My first three were when I was obese, and the last four after I lost 150 lbs. I hope you are expecting!

    I think it was a sign that I was going to be overweight: when I was a little kid and went on the carousel, I always rode the little couch.
