Congratulations! AS the mother of 2 sons (who desperately wanted a girl the 2nd time around) I can tell you that I wouldn't change a thing about either of our sons!!! I'll keep you in my prayers for an uneventful pregnancy & healthy baby! Vickie J.

Hey 1:00 AM friday on Germany I hope that you remember that I still here without sleep Vanessa

Thank you so much sweetie! I too NEVER thought I would be in this place but I guess I secretly thought that all these years of saying I had big bones, that I was wrong and that a skinny frail girl laying under the fat... but alas... I really do have BIG BONES and a HUGE frame! So if I were to lose any more from this point I would feel like a freak! If it wasn't for the extra skin I'd have bones poking out all over the place, right now the skin is draping me and concealing how skinny I really have gotten! I wear compression garments to help smooth the skin out evenly so it does not look so apparent. I was in the sauna today just wearing my baggy yoga pants (they are a large, I wear a small) and my sports bra (something I NEVER thought I'd have the nerve to do) and I was laying flat on one of the benches. A gentleman who has worked out at the same time I have for the last few months came in and sat on the bench below me. He suddenly asked me if I would mind he said something and not take offense to it. I told him to go ahead and he said, "Are you OK? Do you have a problem eating?" I laughed so hard and sat up and he looked so hurt. I felt bad and had to tell him the story. After we were done talking he laughed along with me. He told me that he watched how much weight I had dropped and how determined I look when I am working out that he though I might have an eating disorder. Especially when he came into the sauna and saw how skeleton-like I looked when lying down with my ribs flaring out like they do. LOL! I explained to him that my rib cage has always been big but they really expanded towards the bottom when I carried my son around for an added 3 weeks! He laughed and said that his wife had the same problem but she was not as skinny as I was so only he noticed that about her. I truly hope that once I have my PS, I will look less freakish and more feminine, you know what I mean?
