Welcome to my blog. I'm Robyn. I was born in October '74 (so I don't have to keep upping my age every year.) I'm married to Kris, my military guy that married me, a pagan hippie. I have 4 children, 3 living, I work fulltime as an IT business analyst (aka - computer dork) and I have worked very hard to get out from under obesity. This blog was originally about the weight loss journey, however now it is about my life. After having lost my 2nd child, Anily, during her full term delivery after a perfectly normal pregnancy, I got involved in a group called "Missing Grace". That is a group that helps people through pregnancy and infant loss, infertility, and adoption. Through this group I found an agency that helped me to DO SOMETHING about all the infertility I saw around me every day. I am in the beginning of a surrogacy journey in which I will be the gestational carrier. I've never done this before so I have to admit I don't know all of what I'm about to take on. I guess we'll find out. In the meantime, I'll blog about my life. My stillbirth, parenting, weightloss, maintaining, working, surrogacy, whatever else happens, life.

April 11, 2008 8:39 A.M. Weight: ???

Good morning! I have no weight to report because my husband had to go into work early so I got to handle daycare drop off. I'm going to be picking them up as well so I'll either have to figure out a way to get in or call it a 'break day'. I'm honestly leaning towards the break day just because I have been working hard many many days in a row BUT - I also feel like I'm on the cusp of actually getting under 159 and I'd hate to mess with that. I guess - my head knows that taking one day off is USUALLY a good thing with weight loss but my gut is telling me to NOT do it. We'll see, I guess. My scale at home this morning did give me 159.

So - my butt is sore. Not from working out. Just the upper left side where Kris gave me the progesterone shot last night. I honestly didn't even feel him giving me the shot (probably due to the cold pack that numbed the area all up.) It also didn't hurt all last night. Just this morning I noticed the area was a bit sore. I guess that's why you alternate sides every day. I'm going to have to figure out giving myself the shot though because he won't always be around for that. The package came yesterday and when I opened it, I noticed that the syringes they sent had needles on them AND they sent additional needles.  Weird.  I opened one of the syringes and HOLY CRAP that was a big needle!!  18gage, 1.5 inches.  The other needles were 22 gage (which is smaller) and still 1.5 inches.  I immediately took off the big one and put on the smaller one! LOL!  Then I called my friend so that she and her husband could walk me and my husband through the first shot.  How lucky am I to have someone that did this before me??
