Onward with the planning

So it has been a week since Dave first changed his mind and only a few days since it was decided for sure, but the appointment to have my IUD removed is set for Dec 15th. I'm so excited and anxious. It is hard to think of anything else sometimes. I've been researching my care options and need to decide between two different sets of midwives, but either will be a good decision. I also need so lose some weight. I've set a goal of 2lbs a week and have been working towards it for a few days with workouts and moderate eating.
