Pregnancy has been a wild ride.

Well, the beginning of August my husband left for Iraq for a year.  Two weeks later, I found out I was pregnant!  It was a total shock, I had planned a tummy tuck with my doctor for December!

So I finally hit 15 weeks today, it has been crazy.  I have already gained 10 lbs!  I am trying to watch what I eat but it can be hard at times.  My body does not do well with some sugars and carbs like rice and pasta.  I am really worried about weight gain.  I worked so hard to get down to being "normal" so gaining weight is freaking me out a bit.  I am not craving any kind of protein at all.  I have even gone out and bought steaks but did not want to eat it!  So wierd!

So here I am going though this alone, I have three kids already, ages 10, 7 and 5.  This has been a wild ride and I do not think it is over!  I am going to be around here for a while and I am looking at all the old posts from post ops!

good luck, i know how stressful it is to be pregnant while your husband is deployed. hopefully you have a strong support system. Good luck and God bless
