Things that make me feel great about my sway: We really did everything we could. I didn't stress about it, or at least tried not to :). I know the Lord will give us the perfect baby for our family.
Things that make me nervous about my sway: Just my weight. I would have loved to have lost another 15 to 20 pounds, but LE and exercise for that long were taking a toll on my body.
Things worth mentioning: Skipping breakfast was really hard at first, but I did adapt. Whenever I was hungry I would just pray. I tried to look at it as fasting to the Lord.
