No Doubt!! September and October can't go fast enough!!

I am Christy. I am 32 years old. I have been married to my husband Jason for the past 11 years. He is an E-5 in the Air Force, which he joined right after we were married. After years of infertility and miscarriages (5 total) we have been blessed with 2 boys, Jude who is 5 and Ezra who is 2. They keep me extremely busy. We are orginally from the New Orleans Area but are currently stationed at Moody AFB in South Georgia. We have been here over 4 years and Hubby just put in for some overseas assignments so we will see how that plays out. I had RYN on August 13th so almost 2 weeks out. I started this process in June weighing 232 lbs. I am currently at about 205 now. That's about all Look forward to getting to know some of you.
