Doctors appointment and so much more...

We had a Doctors appointment on Tuesday, it went great. Every thing is growing at a normal rate. Liam is healthy, I am healthy its like I'm winning the LOTTO! I have noticed a lot of things since I have been pregnant. Although my body is burning twice as many calories just sitting, getting healthy really isn't that hard. Its the determination and willingness to change that's hard. Becoming pregnant has been our catalyst to start a healthier life for me, Patrick and Liam. We have been really strict about what we eat and how we work out. Since portioning our food, and working out on a regular schedule Patrick has lost 7lbs! Now, its not really fair since I can't loose any weight, but I haven't really gained any weight since I have been pregnant. And my pregnancy book says that the normal weight gain for this point is 10-15lbs. So essentially I have lost on average 12lbs, but not really because I haven't lost any weight its just gone towards Liam. :D I feel 10 times healthier and happier. Another thing we have been working on is going out to eat. We only allow ourselves to go out to eat once a week. Seeing as we used to go out to eat twice a day. . . Our finances have doubled LOL, not really they just don't deplete as fast. :D Another thing is Tithing, now that we have encorperated ourselves and now we are determined to watch our money we want to be better at paying Tithing. Very important! As a Christmas present our company gave us their program. Its called the MMA (Money Merge Account). This program is a debt reduction program that cost $3500, that our Company (United First Financial) gave to us as a Christmas bonus! We are using it to pay off all of our debt and it told us that we could be debt free in 2.6 years! Quite amazing! Anyway, I think I have rambled enough! Hope you all have a great day!
