Here we go..

I went to my 6 week pp checkup this morning. Everything looks good. My c-section scar is healing good, had my pap. They took cultures, get the results in the mail. I also told my midwife that I was ready to get an IUD. So we set up the apt for the 21. Gives my cultures time to come back, plus she needs to wait til I hit 8wks after having Aiden. She showed me how they insert the IUD. The rod they use to me looks like a fishing pole, lol. She even joked about how it was like they were fishing when they put it in. Showed me how the string is more like fish wire. Vance isn't to thrilled about that, lol. The only concern is my blood pressure is still high. So tomorrow calling my regular PCM to get seen. See if I need meds to control it or will I be fine. As far as working out, she said to start slow. No weights. She wants me to start with just sit ups for the first month and a half. She warned me that my tummy will burn the first few weeks since those muscle can't stretch due to the scar tissue.

It was nice seeing my midwife. She remember the day I was induced. She remembered stripping my membranes and Aiden grabbing her finger. I showed her his picture and she said he was adorable. That she wishes she was on call to see his birth. I really like all the midwives at Evans. They were all so sweet through out my pregnancy with Aiden. The only people I bumped heads with were the doctors. Some just were so negative at times.

So tomorrow I start my dieting, and my sit ups. :o) Looking forward to getting back in shape. I went grocery shopping today and cut out all sweets, and any other junk I use to eat. Replaced it with fruits and veggies. I also bought My Alli. So I will be taking that also to help me shed some weight. I also bought a scale that keeps track of my weight lose, BMI, and water intake. It also records Vance's for him.

I'm very excited about losing weight! Ready to get started! :o)
