biggest WOW yet!

Hi Everyone, It's been quite some time since I've posted, but I'm a regular lurker on this board. I couldn't help but share my latest and greatest WOW moment. drum roll please........................................................................ We are expecting a baby in August!! Yes, I'm 4-5 weeks pregnant as I sit here and type this. I don't have an official due date yet, but the Dr. plans on doing an ultrasound to estimate the baby's age sometime next week. I go back in today to make sure my beta level is rising as it should. We had planned on waiting another year or so, but here we are. Ideally I wanted to reach my goal weight which currently would mean I have another 33 pounds to go. I hope that after the baby is born I can get back on the losing train and get there. I found a pregnancy forum here on OH and have received so much encouragement. I was a bit worried only being 9 months post op that I can adequately nourish a baby. I've been told that it's very doable. I just need to eat more often throughout the day and always make sure it's something nutritious. I'm a firm believer that everything happens in God's perfect timing. We are so excited and feel so blessed. Thanks for letting me share. Happy New Year to everyone! Shari
