November Plans

Looking back at my last post, I can really see how far I've come. It's taken me a long time, but I am finally starting to feel okay about the miscarriage. Although I now want nothing more than to be pregnant again. Everything I am doing is to enable that to come true.

I have got a job, which I am loving. Even though we have spent the first three weekly paycheques on enjoying ourselves and booking a mini break (which to be honest, we absolutely needed after the last few months of hellishness), I plan to save every last penny from now on. Money is our biggest obstacle at the moment.

Our second biggest hurdle is my weight and health. I am only about half a stone lighter than I was before I got pregnant, but ideally I would like to be a size smaller before falling pregnant again. It was hinted to me by various health professionals that I saw after the miscarriage, that my weight could have been a contributing factor.

The house needs to be fixed and finished before we have a baby, as we either need to sell it, rent it or put a baby in it. As it is we can do none of those things. We sorted out our bedroom, but it does need a couple more alterations to be completely finished. The rest of the house needs quite a lot of work.

I also need to make sure I complete my OU module, as this is my last chance before getting a huge black mark against my name and never being allowed to study with them again!

My plans for November are to save £360, lose 7 pounds, stay on track with my course and finish the bedroom & living areas. Not sure if this is doable to be honest...!
