Update.. :)

Hey everyone.. it's been a long time coming since I posted my last update. I bumped into an old friend, Denise Bryant from my support group in Portsmouth and we gave each other a quick update and she also updated me on a few old supporters. I wanted to congradulate all the wonderful losers that I met along my journey at Portsmouth and people on the outside of the group that I met here on OH. My update is that I moved from Virginia and I am living in Washington State now. Brian and I did get a divorce, but we have a MUCH better relationship now that we are just friends. Brian is just returning from being overseas. Cameron is still adjusting, but overall doing fantastic and growing up so fast. He's a healthy soon to be four year old, with much more energy than me. For a while there, I had him beat! He turns four on June 14. I recently was remarried to an old high school friend of mine, and we could not be happier. He is also military, except he's not Air Force like Brian was, he is in the Army Infantry at Ft. Lewis (scary I know!). The end of August we are moving to Vilseck, Germany. My start weight was around 310 lbs at being 5'1. The lowest weight I went down to was 129. This would be a size 8. I was still on the verge of losing, but found out on April 1, that Jonathan and I are expecting our first child together. I am now a healthy 15 weeks pregnant, but they catagorize me as a "complicated pregnancy" due to my previous pregnancy and because of the gastric bypass in general. I started out with my pregnancy with Cameron being overweight, and overall had a good pregnancy till the last trimester. But now that I started out at a healthy weight with this pregnancy, I suffer morning sickness, frequent UTI's, extremely bad back pain, headaches, dizziness, fatigued.. the normal things that are expected during a pregnancy. Here are some recent photos...
