HEY!!!

Hey Everybody... Man it's really been awhile since I've posted...things have been pretty crazy in the Krohlow camp!!! Let's see...Lilly is now 8 months old...she's just awesome. Jeff is working like a mad man(60 to 70 hrs a week) and I'm still teaching land and water ex at the Y as well as personal training and then there's the office job. I just found out that I'm 4 1/2 months PREGNANT...okay pick your jaw up off the floor and/or stop LAUGHING!! I felt like I had been hit by a MACK TRUCK when the nurse told me. I hadn't had a period since March but quite truefully that's not unusual for me...hubs and I used SOMETHING EVERY TIME and I had NO SYMPTOMS...I mean NOTHING!!!!! I had actually gone in to get my prevera prescription to get thing started...so much for that!!! I was really devistated at first...I was finally to the point of getting to get my plastics done and was doing the Doc search thing...looking to have it done this fall....oh well, maybe next year!!! Anyway, we went in after we found out I was pregnant for a sono to see how far along I was and I was 16 1/2 weeks and they could tell that it was a BOY!!! We'll have HIS and HERS!!! His due date is Dec 25th...he and Lilly will be 12mos 22days apart...I actually found out a couple of weeks ago but have been struggling with wrapping my brain around the whole concept of being halfway through a pregnancy...imaging finding out one week that you're pregnant and having the baby move the next!!!! I'm starting to get excited...scared half outta my wits but, I'm sure it will be okay...RIGHT!??! Healthwise I'm doing fine...a little low in Iron, but never really regained those levels from the last pregnancy. Holding steady on weight and have actually lost this last 2 months...just couldn't figure out why my pants were staying tight with the loss I had!!! Franny keep up all the good work you've been doing...you really are appreciated!!! BIG HUGS ALL!!!! Deanna K p.s. STOP LAUGHING!!! it's just not THAT funny!!!

Congratulations!!! I am SOOOO happy for you! OK, pick YOUR jaw up! I bet you were walking around with your mouth hanging open for several days! You are doing just awesome! that weight gain is not a bad thing, we love healthy babies!!! you will have the same tool you have had since your surgery and when you are done having the babies you know how to use that tool! You will be fine! Well now... Let's see, it is only a 4 hour drive to you and I could hold one of those little blessings you have whenever my nest seems too empty!! I can see my sisters at the same time so I see a visit coming up after I recoup from my upcoming surgeries!! I too have been more scared by the thought of the PS than I was about the WLS. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that I could justify the WLS as being totally for my health but I am feeling that the PS is just for my vanity. I know it is not just vanity, but it is much harder to justify! Thanks so much for posting, love to hear from you and CONGRATS on the pending arrival for your nest!

As usual I don't post on the boards much anymore, but I'll have you, Brenda and Fran all know that I've done better than that...I've updated my profile TWICE in the last 2 months now. Beat that! Things are going well for me, have started back to work for the school year and am MUCH happier this year than last already. Pretty much have everything in my profile, so gander on over and check it out since I made the time to write on it. I promise all *****ad a great story in there too that just happened! Brenda, I'm so glad to hear you are using Dr. Rast, I really liked him and would in fact use him for my TT when the time comes around in the next century, LOL. I will definitely keep you in my thoughts when the day comes around and send great wishes! Fran, you and I continue to fight the battle of the last pounds, huh? I'm just about to the point that I'm accepting that so much of it is really my skin and lots of it. wish I could cut it off myself! Deanna, hmm you and I talk all the time nothing to update here about. I'm done about new baby Boy and am just overjoyed for you and Jeffy. Auntie Sharon HATES living so far away though! So, there I've in for a bit too, now your turn to go read the updated profile. Best wishes to everyone on your journey. It is one that I would do a thousand times over again and again. At almost THREE YEARS out, it's still THE BEST health/emotional decision I've ever made for myself. I know that for some of you the road seems so hard, just keep going and hang in there. It gets easier! There's really no place to go but UPPPPPPP and AWAYYYYY. Big huge hugs around!!!! Sharon
