11 months, 4 weeks...

...is how long we've been trying for Baby Pack #1. It is also how long it's been since our last anniversary! We aren't planning to do much in the way of celebration. We've somewhat exchanged gifts already. He gave me cash to go see Eclipse (without him, of course...he's not into sparkly vamps and shirtless men). I've got his gift still hidden away, and he'll get it on Wednesday. I'm excited to give it to him. :)

BL workout wasn't too bad today. I bought some actual weights (3 lb each), which made things so much easier. I was using cans of peaches as weights before (1 lb, 13 oz each). They were so bulky, so it was nice to use real weights this time! They are heavier, though, so my arms really got tired faster than usual. DH thinks I'm really toning up--although I don't see it--and he's been my biggest cheerleader as far as my workouts go. He's always telling me how sexy I am, and even though I don't quite see it/feel it, it makes me feel good that he thinks I'm sexy. That's not to say he didn't think I was sexy before, but I think he tells me that more now because he knows how self-conscious I am now that I'm working out.

We're heading to the beach this weekend with his family. I don't have my "beach body", but I am slimming a bit (lost 4 lbs so far!), so I won't feel so chubby in my bikini. It'll be nice to get away for the weekend, although I am a little anxious about leaving my cats. Usually, DH's mom comes to take care of them when we're gone, but since she'll be with us, I'm hoping DH's dad will come by. I'm going to make sure to put extra food and water out for them, and if their litter box gets too full, it won't be that big of a deal, I suppose.

So, with our one year anniversary of TTC coming up, I suppose I shall say that I'm very much looking forward to the next year. I really do feel things will happen soon. I may not be as young as I thought I'd be with baby #1 arrives, but I wouldn't mind being a 24-year-old mom. Wouldn't mind at all. :)
