I'm Baaaaaack!!! Update...

Well, I've got an update and want to say HI! to oldies and newbies alike!  Lacie is just over 6 weeks old and I had my 6 week post baby check-up yesterday along with a LONG awaited fill! It's ALL good news too!  I healed up very well from the c-section and have lost 30 pounds (as of today) in the past 6 weeks..........I only gained 10 pounds during the pregnancy!!!  WOOT!  Gotta update my signature line and avatar! 

I saw Pat for a fill and got 1cc added to my band for a grand total of 8cc.  To my surprise I still had the 7cc in there with nothing missing.  I thought some might dissipate during my pregnancy.  The fill is settling in nicely today and seems to be perfect!  For breakfast I had 1 packet of reduced sugar oatmeal, lunch I managed a chicken tender and a few bites of beans, and dinner I had a tiny tin of potted meat (Tia I know you LOVE that stuff! lol) with about 10 TJs mini Multiseed crackers.  I'm LOVING my fill level!!! 

While I was at Bayview I opted into a study that the urology department is heading along with the bariatric docs.  They want to see if band patients are at a higher risk of kidney stones like malabsorptive surgeries like GP.  The urologist I spoke to believes bandsters are not at any added risk because we don't have the vitamin deficiencies (I'd have to agree), but we'll see.  No compensation, but heck, I'll pee for 24 hours in a jug for the sake of science!!! 

AND, most of you know I was laid off in June and just decided to stay home until after my pregnancy, well, I have two interviews next week.  One with a private primary school and another with a university; both are accountant positions and located just off I-83; perfect for while we are in Maryland and closer to Pennsylvania for that transition (work in MD/live in PA).  The private primary school has on site daycare for employees children AND free tuition.  I'm hoping for this one to be a good fit for me and the employer!!!  That's it in a nutshell.  I promised I'd be more active once I had Lacie and got my post baby fill, so HERE I AM!!!

Heather,

I am so happy to read that you are doing great after having the baby. Congratulations on the weight loss that is fantastic.  Glad that the fill is working great and soon when you come to see you will reach your goal in no time. 

I want to wish you the best and I hope you get the job that you prefer. That job you want sounds wesome and I pray that you get it. 

Good luck with everything and it was great to hear from you.

Hugs to you and the girls.

I really want the job at Calvert School, but we'll see!  They got a lot of response to it.

Good to see you back.   Sounds like everything is coming together in all regards.

Hugs, Mo

Hi'ya Moie!  How are you and Mr. Mark???

Hugs, Mo

I have my eyes and ears back at Bowles who told me another 6 got cut there 2 weeks ago.  It SUCKS!  I'm excited about these jobs I'm interviewing with, especially Calvert School, but the competition might be fierce.  They got 500 resumes for 3 jobs.  I guess I should be REALLY excited that I made the cut to get the phone interview and then asked to go in for the face to face :)

That is AWESOME !!!   Don't sell yourself short .. you might be excatly who they are looking for . and even if you don't get it . you gave it your best shot!!!

I love my job and really enjoy being busy and the responsibility that I have . but right now there's more than a bit of stress that is likely to continue for a while .. ..

Hugs, Mo

Welcome back, hope to see you around more often!  Sounds like everything is going great!
