I visited with a dietician today (whom shall remain anonymous to protect the innocent) and was sorely disappointed. What I wanted out of the visit was for help "tweaking" my plan for my blood sugar/repro/PCOS problem. All I got was a lecture on how "nuts are a great snack and I should really limit my animal products and stick to plant products" Of course I'm SLIGHTLY exaggerating but not really. I did glean from the lecture that I should probably add some oils to my plan to satiate some cravings. But she's not fond of "packaged diets" and says weight loss needs to be "slow and steady". K, I ain't got time for slow and steady girlfriend. I need to lose a TON (okay 1/2 a ton) of weight so I can fix my hormonal/menstrual/weird girl stuff QUICK and because I haven't got 10 years to get into pregnancy shape.
After attending the temple Thursday I had VERY strong promptings that I need to work on helping/allowing Heavenly Father to fix my body so I can have biological children. Two. And *gasp* GIRLS. Ugh! And there is NO time to dawdle. I have the distinct feeling/prompting/impression that I should really be trying hard to get pregnant. I'm very comfortable and *gasp again* excited at the prospect of having bio. children. Even to the point of taking fertility pills and making sure I have twins and girls. Somehow... Don't know how plausible this is but I have very strong impression that it's the direction to head. I have NEVER (that I can remember) had the feelings that I needed to have bio. children. I'm slightly confused but still very sure and very excited about the possiblity. I've been researching weight loss surgery to correct/improve my PCOS condition and facilitate pregnancy and it looks very promising. Ned has not fully jumped on board and I plan to visit with my doctor about possiblities.
So there it is. Stay tuned...

Cholie.... I'm sending you an e-mail... go check it out.
But I did want to leave a comment here that I completely understand the unbelievably strong impression you get when you KNOW you are supposed to have another child (or 2). If only all the little old ladies could just understand that too, instead of calling this last baby (only 8 years later) a 'surprise' and an 'accident'. Just FYI for all y'all out there. THIS BABY WAS TOTALLY PLANNED!
Wow, twin girls huh? That would be cool. You know I hate to share this, but I had to get pregnant to lose weight. I was going to Curves and couldn't lose a pound, then I got pregnant and lost 13 pounds in the first trimester, and I wasn't even throwing up. Of course I gained 26 to make up for it, but I'm just 5 pounds more than I was after losing the 13. That was unexpected, I still don't know how it happened. I do have to put in a plug for Curves, I really liked the support and friendship. I think that for me, changing simple things in my diet goes a long way. More whole grains, protein, and fruits/veggies are simple ways to make those changes. I can't stand the idea of dieting because I don't want to be told what I can and can't eat.
Jared and I started watching the Biggest Loser (Couples this season) and it makes us want to put some more effort into our health and fitness. It's amazing how much weight those people lose and how fast they do it!
I'm excited about your girls, twins or singletons. Good luck with all this stuff!
We love you and miss you guys!
