OMG – I just looked and I havent posted since 5th july.

I suppose cause nothing has really happened.

We past our final Barnardos interview, everything now gets written up and then gets submitted and we hopefully get approved to be foster parents.

I have had to go and have a few extra tests done as my BMI is over 30 and could pose a health risk. _ for my BMI to be 30 I would be 60kgs – dont think i have ever been.

Had all the extra tests done and apart from being a fat shit i am really healthy, doctor was actually surprised how good my results wre considering i amĀ  or sorry was 136kg – more on that in a minute.

So we have our new dates for parenting classes – 15th, 22nd and 29th Sept, so hopefully once they are over all our paper work will have been submitted tot he panel and we will on our way to becoming parents.

on th weight front i have finally pulled my finger out and done something about it and its amazing once i started i got motivated again. I joined the gym which i go to with my sister 4 times a week – that helps having some one to go with – and since i joined i have lost 8 kgs, I am so happy with myself, i must admit i have been working hard at the gym and i am doing weight watchers points myself so following a fairly easy to follow diet, John and i have also starting bike riding every sunday usally for about 2 hours, an hour one way and return and then we reward our selves by going to local pubs for lunch – healthy lunch and neither of us drink so its good.

So basically thats us and were i am up to, i will post more regularly and let you kow what is going on.

I tell you if IVF taught me anything it taught me how to be patient and how waiting is a part of life – but like IVF this waiting is starting to shit me I just wanna know an answer NOW……

Take care all and ill chat soon.
