Guess What????

Hello everyone I haven't posted latly, but I do check to see if there is any news everyday. Just wanted to let you guys know that I am 8 weeks pregnant. My husband & I are very excited. I waited 17 months and thought that if I want to have this child before I turn 40 in October I better get cracking. This will be my 2nd. I have a 21 month old son. I will still come to this site and check on everyone. You have been there for my since my Journey began in August 2004. I was hoping to get to my personal goal of 150 pounds before I got pregnant, but I can't seem to get lower than 155. Which is where I have been since I found out I was pregnant. I will eat the right kind of foods this pregnancy and try to enjoy every minute of it. Last time I had my son I was 325 pounds, couldn't breath and had aches & pains all over. Just wanted to tell you about my new, I hope to talk to guys soon. Lisa

Hi Alma Thank you for the well wishes. Congratulations to you on the soon to be wedding. How exciting!!!!!! You have been blessed with beautiful children a new step son and a soon to be husband. How wonderful. I will keep you updated about this pregnancy. I have to be honest. I am scared to death to put on weight. Isn't that crazy? I know I have too, but not yet. I weigh myself everyday and panic if I gain a pound. I think it just might be water, so I drink a bunch of water w/ lemon and it comes off. So I haven't gained anything yet & I am 8 weeks. I need to lighten up. I just don't think I should put on any weight till later on. I gained 45 pounds with my 1st but I also was 278 when I got pregnant with him. So I gave birth at 325....ERRRRRRRRRR Anyways, I am really excited about this baby.....So you want a girl for your next one....Good for you. I say I don't care what this baby is, but secretly I do want a girl. If it's a girl we will name her Gabriella. If it is a boy we will name him Joseph, but call him Joey. I want my son to have a brother so if this is a girl, we will just have to try again....OMG...I will be in my 40's by then.......I hope I can do it...lol I would love to email and talk to you too...Lets keep in touch. Email me any time [email protected]......................... You look great by the way. Your beautiful........and look so happy.... Keep in touch Lisa

You mentioned that your freaked out to put on weight? Me too!!! Technically I've gained no lbs yet...as I lost 3 lbs and then gained them back...but still...it scares me to see that scale go back up when I've worked so hard to see it go down. I just have to remember that there's a little baby in there who needs to grow. I'm sure it doesn't quite feel real yet...but it will as soon as you see your lil bean or hear the heartbeat! BTW - I'm already in maternity jeans...was in them at 8 weeks becuase my regular jeans were just too uncomfortable. Anyway...try to relax about your weight....it will come back off... Kristy

Congratulations Lisa! I got pregnant at 16 months post op and am currently 14 weeks pregnant. I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months! Have you seen your OB or surgeon yet? My surgeon has me on 2x the prenatals, a super B complex and B12 2x a week. The prenatals I take are OneSource Prenatal and were ok'ed by my OB. My OB also wants me to get in 2000 cal a day...which was hard for me so I find myself eating something about every 2-3 hours. Again...Congratulations!!! Kristy EDD 8/6/06 14w0d 254/135/138/140
