Happy Independance Day!

My doctor called me back Thursday night after she had had a chance to look over the ultrasound. She told me everything looks great, is healing the way she would expect, and we can continue with our plan of placing the IUD next month. :) I have to admit that I do have some trepidation and fear over doing any form of birth control. I am working on getting past that though and working on just focusing 100% on Baby Bean, Hubs, and our dogs. Day by day I am learning to quit stressing about the things I can't control and to enjoy the here and now. I am so blessed to have moved from the infertile statistic to the once an infertile statistic, even if only to have one baby.


Even more exciting is that I came to the realization that I started my pregnancy a few pounds heavier than I thought (that's not the exciting part) and discovered this weekend that I am not only back to my prepregnancy weight, but I am a pound lighter and all of my old clothes fit again! I still want to lose another 10, or what is known as my Infertile 10. I was so excited to find that I am back into my old pants that I packed up the last of my maternity clothes and my fat pants until I need them again. I still can't believe I am back in my favorite pair of jeans. :D

Today was Baby Bean's first 4th of July. After making a donut run this morning Hubs and I remembered that the town was hosting a children's parade. We decided to pack Baby Bean into her stroller and set off to see if we could find it. We have one of those convertible strollers that holds the infant car seat until the baby is big enough to ride in the big stroller without it. Well, today we tried Baby Bean in the big stroller sans car seat. The little doll is definitely big enough. Part of me was excited to push her around facing forward so she could get the new view on life, but part of me was so sad that she has moved up and another day of her babyhood is gone. She didn't seem to care about the new view versus the old view, so I think I will go back to pushing her in her car seat for a while still. I like being able to see her and talk to her when we go on our walks, and there will be plenty of time for her to face forward once she no longer fits in her car seat. We found the parade, but she didn't seem to care, on top of which it was pretty lame. They just had a fire truck and then a string full of parents and children walking down the street, so we stuck around for a minute and then went back home to get out of the heat.

Well, it is time for a certain bean to eat, so I am off for now. Ta ta!
