Well, I just wanted to stop in a give a little update.  I'm 16 weeks 2 days into my pregnancy.  I'm great and the baby is perfect and healthy.  I have not gained a single pound, still at 144 pounds.  I am busy with our 5 year old and trying to get things ready for the baby.  I've been reading everyone's posts.  Yes, I still keep tabs on everyone.  I'm glad everyone is doing so well.  Ya'll keep up the good work!  Tah Tah for now.....

***8 Months Post-Op***

Well, tomorrow is my 8 Month Post-op mark.  I'm 13 weeks into my pregnancy.  Still holding strong at 144 pounds.  Putting my weight gain at ZERO pounds!!!  I am okay with it, as long as the baby is healthy and okay.  Which so far they say everything is perfect!  I'm eating about 1-1/2 cups of food every 2 hours since the baby needs more food than I can eat at one sitting.  I feel like I'm eating all day long!  Everything is going just fine.  Life is great and so is my health!  I am staying busy with our 5 year old and trying to get a few things ready for the baby to arrive.  I am still going to my OBGYN every 3 weeks.  He is drawing blood and doing ultrasounds everytime I see him.  Next time (April 24th) they are going to try and find out what the sex of the baby is!  I can't wait!!  I am so excited about it.  I am such a anal planning freak and I have just gotta know what it is!  I will post as soon as I know.  Well, that's all for now folks, thanks for reading.....tah tah for now.

***7 Months Post-Op***

Well, today I'm 7 Months Post-Op.  I'm 8 weeks and 5 days into my pregnancy.  I'm sitting at 144 pounds.  I have been at 144 pounds since I got pregnant, which is just fine with me.  I feel there is no need to take my measurements since I've became pregnant, for the fact it will just make me depresed!!!  Over all nothing really exciting to report.  I do go back to the OB next week and he will be doing another ultrasound just to check on everything.  I have went up one cup size in a bra.  I can't belive that my boobs are already this big this soon.  My DH took my 7 month post-op pics today, I just need to post them.  I wish I could be more talkative about surgery and weight loss, but things kinda changed when I got pregnant.  My posts just don't seem like that have as much meaning.  I have always felt OH was my way to express my weight loss.  Things will pick back up again after I have the baby in October.  Hope everyone is doing well, keep up the good work ladies.....

So, yesterday I had another OB visit.  They did a 2nd ultrasound.  We were able to visualy see the baby's heart beat!!!  It was so exciting!  Savannah (5 yrs. old) was a bit confused as to how the baby was on the computer screen but, she thought it was so cool!!  It was extra special for my DH since, yesterday was his birthday!

My OB says everything is looking just great!  He has no worries.  I haven't gained any weight yet, which is a big plus in my head.  Trying to think about eating more and gaining is so scary!  I guess if I had made it to goal I wouldn't be as worried, but I was only 25 pounds from goal when I got preggers, and I'm holding strong and not moving from the 145 pound mark!!!

I will be going back every 3 weeks rather than every 4.  He will be doing an ultrasound every time as well.  Thank goodness for insurance!!!

So, I'm feeling a bit tired these days.  It's that whole 1st trimester thing!  Eating 6 small meals a day with 2 snacks.  That's what the doctor order!!!  Blah....LOL!

So, I now have a range of 9 days for my due date.  Anywhere from Ocotber 11-20!  They can't pin point it since I ovulated late in my cycle.  The baby is measuring 5weeks 4 days putting my due date as October 20.  If you calculate from the first day of my last period that makes my due date October 11.  So it's gonna be an October baby!!  That's all we know for now.

Thanks for reading....

I have been thinking a lot about how God puts different people in your life for a reason.  For example.... My 3 OH & Myspace friends: Jen, Rebecca, Heather!  They have really touched my heart in the last couple of days.  Lord knows I'm so extremely excited about the baby but still worried about reaching goal and being healthy for the rest of my life.  These women are in my life for a reason and I thank God for that!  They have all sent me kinds words and great support!  Thank you ladies!  I hope ya'll know how much I really needed the up lifting comments from ya'll.  I have this underlying fear that I will never reach goal after the baby.  I know I shouldn't think negative but, I'm in an emotional, hormonal state right now....uggghhhh the firts trimester!! LOL!  I just have to try and stay healty and positive for the sweet baby God has sent us.  I am scared to death of gaining weight....and I know I'm going to have to in order to have a healthy baby in 8 months!  Everyone just pray for us.  Really, pray that God gives me strenght in all of this.  I know I will be fine....it's just scary.  Thanks to everyone!!!
