I know what you mean about the pregnancy-envy thing. It must sound absolutely insane coming from me, but I miss having babies, and also loved being pregnant. I am not glad to be "done". Of course I am thankful for the kids I have, but... And I will keep praying for you. And jeepers, write a little more often!!

I do think it helps us cherish our kids more, and never take a good pregnancy for granted. And perhaps it is one of God's ways to draw women together. I don't know. Keep writing though!

Tomorrow is my weekly weigh-in, for week two of my Phase Two try at losing some weight, and I do not remember how much I was last week, although I do know it was the same as the first week because of M&M night, gaining a few pounds and losing those same pounds. So here I am, treading water. I totally and completely understand your snackiness, I am afflicted with the same exact condition. It is really hard being home all day, too, I believe. It is just so hard sometimes, I feel like crying. But...it seriously helps to know I am not the only one. I wish you all the best on this journey, I am rooting for you!!!<br /><br />della16 blessings'momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00611246330849334850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163624679528112856.post-4505716124832749052012-02-22T18:06:11.835-05:002012-02-22T18:06:11.835-05:00Allison, weight loss IS extremely hard. I think a...Allison, weight loss IS extremely hard. I think anyone who says any different is just plain lying. I fell into a groove where it was going well, and wasn't quite so difficult, but it didn't last. I get SO MUNCHY. I know what's good for me and what's not, and now I am much more conscious of choosing the good, but not without suffering. I too have eaten too much chocolate lately. Don't give up though. I am definitely not the successful type at these sort of things, so if I can do it, you can! And I still have a long way to go, cheer me on, will you? Since I am already writing a novel here, Ben and Ashley went through a similar thing a few months back with their rent...I won't write it all here, but it was rough on them. One thing's for sure, your in-laws will always be there for you so you will always have a home! (and I love how Meg won't talk with Lacie around, she is a smart cookie!)16 blessings'momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00611246330849334850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163624679528112856.post-76850201214219829312012-02-07T00:02:55.243-05:002012-02-07T00:02:55.243-05:00we looked at the brick house on h st on dean's...we looked at the brick house on h st on dean's website, but there's no way we can afford it. we do really like it though! looks like we won't be getting a house anytime soon.

Street in the village of M.? Emily actually called Dean about that one! She is renting too, and her apartment is a real headache, she is tired of throwing money away. She doesn't know if she can afford a house yet, but she liked that one. (she likes a few other ones too, so don't worry!) It does sound like life is crazy for you guys right now. Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.

Good luck on your weight loss journey. I've been there, gotten to goal weight, gotten back on the weight loss journey, gotten to goal weight, back on weight loss journey....well, you get the point. Multiply that by about fifteen years of being overweight and you could say I'm a yo-yo weight gainer. I am currently losing baby weight again after my third child and am about thirty pounds away from my realistic goal - not to be confused with the lower number where I would REALLY like to be. Anyhoo...it's nice to "meet" you and I look forward to reading your blog.AUTISMOMMAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11409553613709277901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163624679528112856.post-64166676776394236972012-01-24T22:40:58.556-05:002012-01-24T22:40:58.556-05:00Thanks Krystyn, I have tried counting calories in ...Thanks Krystyn, I have tried counting calories in the past, but always on paper, I'll have to check and see if my phone has an app for that ;)Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16967804175692916329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163624679528112856.post-51714014172093983682012-01-24T22:03:48.299-05:002012-01-24T22:03:48.299-05:00I always had the best success when I was counting ...I always had the best success when I was counting calories.

Meggie is so adorably cute! You look good, I wanted to tell you that but didn't. Cloth diapers: I used them for my first five kids, didn't have a dryer for the first few years either. I always bleached them because back then they were just plain white cotton diapers that we pinned on, and getting them bleached white was so satisfying in a strange way. We switched to disposables when we moved in to our house and the washer was so far from the bathroom, and I was expecting number six...I never minded washing diapers though, I should have stuck with it longer. I am so glad you got her rash sorted out.16 blessings'momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00611246330849334850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-163624679528112856.post-45579490103869725632012-01-06T07:56:52.334-05:002012-01-06T07:56:52.334-05:00@16 blessings'mom I would *love* to have a wal...@<a href="#c5007056181655914444" rel="nofollow">16 blessings'mom</a> I would *love* to have a walking buddy, but for now I'm exercising inside.
