No baby news, of course. =P

Went to the dentist today and I have two tiny cavities. I told them I was trying to get pregnant, so they want to fill the cavities now (or, "weak spots" as they called them, not quite yet cavities), since I shouldn't get cavities filled while pregnant. So I have an appointment for this Thursday to get them filled, which will be before we TTC again.

Also, they started digging our house today! Supposedly they're going to try to actually finish the house by the end of September, which is just a few weeks away! It is so fun to get married, get pregnant and move into a brand new home! I'm soooo excited! I really, really hope I'm pregnant as we're moving into our house! How neat will that be? Then I don't have to lift anything as we move. =D

As for my diet, I didn't do well again today! I've been trying to follow Weight Watchers again, but today I ate too many points. I end up so hungry by the end of the day that I have to eat something so my stomach stops growling. So, I need to save up more points earlier in the day. I'm still too sick (coughing a little bit still) to exercise, or else I'd be able to burn off the extra points I ate. Oh well, there is always tomorrow! I just need to get my eating back on track before getting pregnant - the doctor doesn't want me to gain any weight at all during the pregancy, and I'll have to be really careful to make sure it happens that way.

Kevin and I did go for a 3.5-mile walk last night, which was really fun. I was actually able to walk quickly the whole way - I felt really good. Kevin said it was because I was pumped up on steroids (the medicide for my cough!). =P I would like to get my treadmill fixed though, so I can walk like that every day (it is broken right now).

Also, did I mention that I bought some fertility tests and home pregnancy tests from a web site (this one here)? They were like $15 for a package of 15 ovulation and 10 hpt tests or something (honestly I forgot which package I bought). In the store it costs like $15 for ONE pregnancy test! Of course, these are just strips of chemical paper, no fancy plastic coverings or anything. But hey, if they work, they work. Right? With the ovulation tests, I will be able to test twice a day and make SURE of when I ovulate, so we can BD right then. (BD means "baby dance" which is another term used in the internet "fertility circles" to describe the act of making babies =). That will give us good chances for a boy, which Kevin will be happy about. Then, if we have a boy, I will try hard next time for a girl! Then the third baby can be whatever it wants to be. =)

Hmm... I wonder if anyone reads this blog anymore. =P
