Another week down
After 4 weeks of the South Beach Diet, I am down to
236. A loss of 6 for the week, and a loss of 25 overall.
That puts my weekly average at 6 pounds; with 1 week left to accomplish
my goal of 230 before my mom gets here I should just barely make
it. My pants fit better, my watch doesn't cut off my circulation,
and my wedding band actually is a snug fit rather than too tight.
Still, no one has noticed: or at-least no one has said anything if they
have noticed. Looking at myself in the mirror it appears as
though I'm losing the weight everywhere gradually except for my
face. My face still looks fat. I know I'm doing good, but
it would still be nice to get some validation from someone else that
it's noticable.
Baby news. We had an appointment on
Thursday. Ann's hadn't dilated any more, she's still at 1
cm. However, her blood pressure was too high so they scheduled us
for another appointment on Friday. On Friday her blood pressure
was still a little high so they hooked her up to a mchine to monitor
the baby's heart-rate and her contractions. It turns out that all
this time she thought the baby was just kicking, some of them were
actually small contractions. After that we had to get another
ultrasound to check for fetal distress. Every thing was ok and
the baby is still a girl. :) They estimated she weighs 7 pounds
10 ounces, and still think she's not due until September 6. I
still say they are way off and she's due August 16. They were
going off measurements and estimates to come up with their dates, I'm
going off actual events, so I'm sure they are wrong. Plus all the
OBGyn doctors say she could come at any time. Her little head is
pushed down as far as it can go, Ann just needs to let her out.
Ann says it's going to happen this week, the baby told her so.
At what point exactly, do I quit calling her 'the
baby', and start calling her by the name we have picked out: Alexandria
Intira Ogburn. The next update will hopefully be news of her
birth. Stay tuned to find out...
Oh, and on the game development front, I've started
getting back into it. I pulled up my previously written code and
have been reviewing it to remember what I've done and what I need to
do. Expect to start seeing more updates around this.
