A bit of a stretch

So this blog is kind of random, not exactly related to pregnancy or getting pregnant, but whatever. I will throw this out there -- I went to the dentist today and my gums were bleeding a lot (I know, gross, I'm sorry) and the hygienist was wondering if I might be pregnant, but alas, no, it is just because I have been a flossing slacker. I did tell her it wasn't out of the question exactly but it was way too early for my gums to be bleeding (I would have had to conceive like yesterday or something) -- and not to worry since she had just taken 4 X-rays. Seriously, I'm fine.

On the plus side, I am happy to announce that since October 27th I have lost 4.4 pounds. Sweet! I know that doesn't seem like much, but if you think about it, with the holidays and everything.... anyway, I am pretty excited. Plus I put on a pair of pants today that I had been avoiding for quite awhile and I didn't have to fear splitting the seams when I sat down. That is always nice. I would really like to lose about 10 more pounds by the end of February - or by the time I am pregnant again, whichever comes first. I will let you know how that goes. It's day 15 btw.

I want to lose 10 pounds too. Good job on the 4.4 pounds! Yes, very difficult during the holidays so yahoo! :) You know what's not helping me lose weight though? This pint of Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch that's sitting here right next to me with a spoon in it. James got it for me last time he made a grocery run as a surprise (I made him promise no more fatty surprises next time). :) I asked him to bring me up the pint as a snack just a few minutes ago (he was downstairs getting tea and on his way back up to where I was) and he brought up the pint and an EMMA SPOON instead of an adult spoon. He thinks he's so funny.

I haven't been to the dentist in probably like three years (ack). But I floss every night. James' new job has good dental coverage though (finally!) so both Emma and I will be going next month (and every six months after that).
