The number of the day: 40

40 is the number of pounds I have lost since delivering my daughter almost 2 months ago. Can you believe that time flies so fast??????

30 is the number of pounds I still need to lose.

Maybe this sounds sappy, but I am going to miss my doctors. Feeling sad that it is over. All those feelings bring about questions regarding my family's size. Somehow even though this pregnancy was horribly challenging, I question if she will be my last. Believe me, I remember the pain and the agony I went through with the delivery. I just wonder if I want one more child.

If you had asked me 3 and a 1/2 years ago, I would have said I was happy with my son. How things have changed. Now, at my age, I am contemplating having another. For now I have to get healthier and lose those 30 pounds.

The more I think about it, the more confused I get. If I were to give myself advice I would say, "Lose the 30 pounds, get healthier, enjoy your children and in 10 months see what happens."

Hopeful stitches to all .....
