22 week update and belly pics

I went to the OB last week for my 22 week appointment.  Everything looked good.  As of today I'm still down 6 pounds from what I weighed the day after I found out I was pregnant.  My belly measured one week ahead though, so I guess baby boy is growing just fine.
We haven't decided on any names yet.  I was hoping it would be easier this time around, but it's not!   I was also hoping that I would look pregnant this time, but not so much!   I actually had someone from work ask me when I had the baby.  I was like well, Hannah is 20 months old and I'm still 5 months pregnant.   She was shocked.   I feel stupid wearing maternity clothes because I don't really feel them out.  I do look sort of pregnant when I wear them though.   I guess I need a smaller size than I wore with Hannah, but I'm too cheap to buy new ones lol.
Anyway here's some pics of me at 22 weeks and 2 days pregnant.   Hannah was not a happy camper and decided she need to pick her nose too!


I'm not for sure why this one turned out so blurry.  Hannah was probably pushing her Daddy as he snapped the picture lol.

You're very cute! 

you look good and great that you haven't gained weight - especially if the little mister is doing good!

You are looking great! And I feel ya on not "looking" pregnant in Maternity clothes...I feel almost silly wearing them except I would absolutely not be able to wear my pre pregnancy clothes so oh well...I will eventually fill them out lol

p.s. I love Hannah's piggy tails!

Congrats on not gaining any weight...I know it is such a scary thing to think of gaining weight on purpose after WLS!   You look absolutely beautiful!  I admire women who wear makeup and really look great all the time...I NEVER used to leave  the house without hair and makeup perfect, but since I got sick last year, I have REALLY gotten lax with makeup...and Im getting older...I REALLY should be wearing it to help the age thing...but right now I am too lazy!!!  LOL

Take Care and dont worry..that baby bump is gonna grow!

Hugs!

How are you doing? Are you able to gain some weight? I think of you often and wonder how you are doing?

 Hi Stephanie,

I am doing okay...holding my own at the moment...my weight fluctuates by about 5 pounds...anywhere from 98 to 103...if I dont go down to 95 then I am not going to do anything, but if I drop down to 95 I will go back on the TPN and have a total reversal.  I had to have my PICC removed about a month ago or so because I got a bad blood infection.  So, they took out the PICC and I had 5 days of IV antibiotics as an out patient.  

So that ispretty much the poop on me :)

Thanks for thinking of me!

Laura

Oh Laura,
You have had such a time at it that is for sure. Sorry to hear about the blood infection. I sure hope that you can stabilize your weight. I am sure a reversal is the last thing that you want to do at this point. Keep me posted on how you are doing.

 U know it is so wierd how our wants and the way we think about things change over time and with cir****tances that come up.  Last November/December I would have paid a million dollars for someone to do a revision on me...well I finally got my wish and look where it got me?  No where...in fact worse in some ways.  So...my desire to have a reversal has gone OUT the window, because I would hate to go through that whole surgery and massive recovery time as I would be split from stem to sternum once again...I can just hardly stomach the thought of trying to recover from another surgery that may or may not work.  That is the problem with this whole WLS deal...there are ZERO guarantees for any of us...we are just rolling the dice and hope that it all works the way it is supposed to.  If I had looked at it from that perspective before I ever had the original surgery, I might have made more effort to exercise and diet on my own a little more before thinking I was getting a "quick" fix...I could just kick my own ass for myself right now...LOL  Oh well...I can't change how things have gone, so now I take it 1 day at a time, and pray each day that the scale either stays the same or goes up...its funny...I used to weigh immediately when I got out of bed each morning after I went potty and completely nekkid...now I weight mid morning after I am dressed and have had breakfast...LOL  Is that cheating?
