    I'm hoping they submitted my file for team approval today. I want to call but don't want to be a pain. She said last week it can take a week or two to find out. Keeping my fingers crossed.

    Keeping my fingers crossed for you too!! I hope you hear from them soon. Maybe call on Wednesday to see if it's been sent. :-)

    I got great news today! My son called and informed me that they're having a boy!! They sent me ultrasound pictures. He has chubby cheeks. lol It's a high risk pregnancy so I'll be praying for them. She's in the hospital now, since Friday, trying to get her blood sugar levels under control.

    Hope everyone is doing well.

    Hi Nana!! I had a rough start to the week. Battled some depression and stress but I came through it once again. Yesterday and today have been better. I had my 6 week appt yesterday. I was bummed because I'd only lost 21lbs. They gave me some advice so hoping I can start losing better soon. Woke up with a 2 pound loss this morning. I hope I'm past this stall. I need to drink more Water, exercise more and log my food. I do well until my depression hits. I usually bounce back fairly quickly though. I hope they get your paperwork settled soon so you get a date set!! I'm excited for you to start this journey too. Enjoy your weekend!! I'll be stitching all weekend. I need to finish an apron I'm crossing stitching for my mother-in-law before Christmas. I'm such a procrastinator!

    Lucky I'm so glad you are feeling better! Congrats on the 2lb loss! That's great. I know my sister started walking after her surgery she never was a walker but she swears that helped the lbs come off. Hope you continue to feel good and keep losing. I'll keep you posted on my info. Have fun stitching!
