OB appt/ surgiversary
I just wanted to share with everyone 2 things this week.
Despite having no actual computer access I am managing to get on and read everything every couple of days... I am lurking alot more now.
1. June 24th was my 1 year surgiversary. I am so greatful for this gift I have been given and I completly contribute this miracle growing inside of me to it's success. I have a lot more weight to loose, but I am not worried about it. It's a number... one which I will eventually achieve, but I am SO much HEALTHIER now. I am no longer a diabetic, no high blood pressure or cholesterol.
2. I had an OB appointment today. 26 weeks 5 days, and all is good. Still nautious alot despite meds, but it slacked off for a few weeks and I ate... ALOT.... to the tune of 15 pounds this month. So I am still down 3 from when I got pregnant, and my OB is exstatic, but I am trying to be "whatever" about it. What goes up will come down and as long as I get a happy healthy baby out of it. I don't care. I would gladly gain it all back if it meant I got my baby. Plus my tool will be here when it's all over.
I am cleared to go back to more 'normal' eating and I am allowed to exercise some (as long as I don't get dizzy or have contractions) and I can go back to eating much less... as long as I don't start loosing anymore. My belly has exploded. It's weird, because I didn't have a prominent belly before my surgery and now I do... this whole thing is a new experience.
So ... that's it. Just hanging in there. I just wanted to share.

Hey girl! I've missed you here and on FB, but I'm soooo glad to know all is well. Happy Surgiversary - can you believe how fast that first year goes by?
So sorry about the continued nausea. Erika coined the phrase "puking pals" for Angie and I, but I think it suits you too LOL. HG usually goes away by 20 wks, but I wasn't so lucky and it doesn't sound like you are either. But as soon as I had Everett, it was COMPLETELY gone - weird, huh? Hang in there.
How's the new place? Are you surviving work all right?
Thanks for posting an update and please know you're in my daily thoughts and prayers!
Hugs,

The new place is good. 2 bedrooms so Tristan will have his own room. The change is our money situation sucks... alot, but we will surivive. I am still working for the craptastic a-holes but I am flying under the radar right now. They are leaving me alone so... I shall keep my head ducked and survive for now. It's a lot less stress than my old position, less money too... but we are making it.
My company is screwing us on our insurance which they changed and now I have a lovely $2500 deductible to pay for the year. So more money crap, but again... somehow we will prevail. We always have and we will. All that matters is that Tristan comes and is healthy... everything else will fall into place
You might have to remind me of that after he comes and I am up to my bum in hospital bills.
I'm glad to hear that your PMDD(?) is getting better. I have had that before and had some emotional termoil so I am expecting it to happen. I hope you're right about the HG... it sucks. The Drs are happy b/c of the weight gain, but I have been eating junk and tons of it, so now I plan to go back to a more structured, healthy diet to maintain.
HUGS,
Victoria
