Well, technically my 9 month date was yesterday, but since I was still with DH while he was in the hospital, an hour from home, I didn't have access to my scale. So, this morning, expecting a gain from 3 days of sharing hospital food with him (neither one of us can eat a full meal), I was shocked to see the number 138. I had to shout for Mike to come to the bathroom to look because I didn't believe I was seeing that number correctly.

We were able to make some reasonable food choices because the new Kaiser hospital has a "room service" menu and you just order what you want. We stayed away from most of the carby stuff, although we did eat a lot of chicken tortilla soup that was full of rice and corn. But, chicken soup is good when you are sick, right? We usually chose the chicken with lemon caper sauce and veggies. However, you can't trust the carb counts on their menu, for example, they list a carton of milk as only 1 carb. Yea right, on Mars maybe. Anyway, I fully expected to have put on a few pounds after a few days of not eating what was normal for us. Until this morning, I hadn't had a protein shake since Monday morning. We usually mix one with coffee. It is possible that the change up might have actually helped. It doesn't really matter, I'm just thrilled to write this post. I've been waiting a long time to try to type out what that soccer announcer says...GOOOOOAAAAALLLLL. I can hear it in my mind. And now, my cyber version of a happy dance,
