Well, tomorrow I hit 24 weeks... the gestational viability age yay! In fact, a girl who was due a week before me already had her baby! She is soooo tiny and in the NICU of course but doing well! She weighed 1 lb 8 oz at birth. I see pictures of her and think, wow, I have a baby that size inside of me right now! Hopefully mine will behave herself and stay put for 16 more weeks (or at least 14!) I really want a full term baby that I can take home quickly and not need any NICU time.

My pedometer for the walking challenge that work gave us already stopped working. I was at 900 steps on the second day, when the first day it was at 4,000+. Doing pretty much the same amount of walking each day. So clearly something's off!

Exam time is coming up for me again, blah. I think my first one is on May 2nd. One of my classes is just a writing paper class and my last paper is due on the 18th of April so I'm glad I won't have 4 exams this semester... only 3! After this I'll be done THREE YEARS of law school. Too bad I still have a whole 'nother year to go!

It's weird trying to plan my schedule for next semester b/c not only do I have to think about work and classes, but also childcare. Salem is trying right now to get another job somewhere else (we currently work together in the same building for the same company). If he gets this job (and so far it looks promising) he will be working downtown in Center City (Philadelphia). That means he will be gone from home a lot more than he currently is. Timing of him getting home and me getting to class is going to be problematic. I think we are going to have to ask his mom for some assistance, at least on Monday's which seems to be our main problem day.

157.6 lb Lost so far: 0 lb.    Still to go: 7.6 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.
