Changes

So, like here I was wishing congratulations to OhChicken because she’d just given birth to Sparky. In said post were wishes of growth and future conception and stickiness for those on the raft of pregnancy or TTC. Two of those women on that raft have jumped ship for a shinier, prettier boat where there is nursery designing and crib shopping and lamaze class (does anyone actually DO that anymore?).

Of course I’m referring to Vee & Jay, as well as, excitingly today, Calli. Here I am again, yay! Congrats, Calli!

On the face of my planet, sort of circling those in the TTC and baby world, there are changes in the works. JT woke up early with me and we worked out at the gym at our complex for a solid hour. We watched Food Network and joked and sweated and it was wonderful. He did awesome, only taking a break for a few minutes. He walked the treadmill and did the ellipticle, which was adorable since he’s so short, and even tried one of the cycling machines.

I stayed on the stationary bike for the whole hour and managed 9.4 miles and 215 calories. I’m proud of myself AND of my son. He loved the gym so much he can’t wait to go back. I love having him as a workout buddy, because he listens well when I give him safety warnings, he likes to watch the Food Network (it was HIS choice) and he’s honestly excited about working out. He keeps me going when my calves ache from peddling!

In another world, Fil dug up a known donor. He works with her, and is apparently quite willing to donate since he’s already donating to his sister and her partner. I was a little shocked because I’d put TTC mostly out of my mind. I want to concentrate on my body and getting into the shape I want to be in for surgery and then, eventually pregnancy. But it’s sort of nice to have someone on the back burner, right? It’s also nice to know that Fil is still very into having a baby, but also supportive of my choices to wait and have surgery.

I love her!
