Going To See The Docs...Finally

Well, I have my date for my 5 year check-up with NIH. March 29th. I had to postpone the last trip, because of poor planning on my part. I am so excited to go and get some serious baby-making decisions made. My doctors are going to be taking my normal 25 vials of blood for all things kidney related, plus they are going to bring in a specialist to discuss our next steps in the whole pregnancy scheme. Of course I couldn't just get pregnant on my own! My poor luck supercedes all my positive thinking, but its ok, I am just anxious to get it all going in whatever direction we need to go. They also are requiring that I go to UofM for all things pregnancy related, before, during, and after because they have such and advanced transplant team, and I will be in the "high risk" pregnancy group from day one. Am I crazy??? Yup. Is it worth it??? Absolutely.

Kmart New Day, Your Way

Ok, so last week I posted about wanting to lose weight and stuff. Well, 2 days after I posted that, I got an email from Kmart. I had wrote an essay about 2 months ago for a contest they were holding about "Why I Want To Lose Weight" Well, my essay way picked from 20,000 people.I am one of 160 people who won. I won $600 in diet supplies, (workout clothes, slim fast, gym membership, radio, blender, pedometer, shampoo, amkeup, ect.) and the best part is, I am now in a 16 week long contest to lose weight and get in shape. I win prizes every two weeks for making my goal weights, and if I win it all I win $10,000. Talk about motivation! It was exactly what I needed. I swear "The Secret" is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Things are just falling into place. No babies yet, but I have a feeling that is coming. One way or another.
