I had my son!! Soooo in LOVE!!! :) on January 11, 2012 4:04 pm
So I finally had my baby on early Thursday morning Dec 8th. I went in Tuesday night having contractions (after having my membranes swepted earlier that day)...lucky for me my OB was there, and my blood pressure was a little elevated so he came in and told us that he was gonna keep me and start the induction that night since I was already due, and he didnt want me to develop preeclampsia. My husband, mom, brother, and sis-in-law were there with me. I took three of the little pills that make labor start over a 12 hour period. Nothing was happening so he put me on pitocin. After three hours my contractions started getting pretty bad!! WOW!! I had to get up and pee and I swear if my husband wasnt behind me I would have fell to the ground!! The epidural guy came in and basiclly told me that its now or never since he was going home. I'm glad he did that because I was SO SCARED of the epidural, and I needed an ultimatium! I was shaking like a leaf, and he had to tell me to calm down. Well that process took about 5 minutes, and he was done! I had a weird cold feeling go down my back and about ten minutes later I was knocked out!! My nurse came in and checked me a couple of times, and the last time she came to wake me up she told me I was 10cm and 100% effaced and to call my family. They were there in no time! My brother lives an hour away and got there in 30 min. I was still drowsy when my doc came in and told me to start pushing. My husband stood on my right side, and my mom was in the back snapping pic after pic! Pushing wore me out but it only lasted about 5-10 minutes and my love came tumbling into the world! He pooped in my womb and it scared me but he is fine. I ripped a little, but I didnt even feel my doc stitch me up! My son has a pair of lungs on him! Hubby and I cried so hard together when we heard his first cry. I am more in love than I have ever been! Labor and delivery was very very easy for me! Today I feel good except a little back pain, and of course my vag hurts where I was stitched. My milk also finally came in today so Silas got a good dose tonight! YAY!!! My dad came in yesterday and he is in love! He doesnt show much emotion, but looking at his grandson brings all of that out of him!! My brother walks around saying 'Thats MY nephew!!' LOL I love my family's support!! I think thats everything!!
Here is what three years of prayer and tears looks like!! 5 pounds 15oz 19in long!!

9 months pregnant!! :) on November 14, 2011 9:07 am
Wow!! I am so amazed! We made it to 9 months! I can happily say that it has been an easy ride for me and Silas! No morning sickness, no heartburn....my only complaint is that I havent been able to stand the sight, smell or thought of chicken!! Which is my favorite food of all time! (and a great source of protein). And I have only gained 18 pounds to date...not too shabby!
I have an appt tomorrow morning and I get swabbed for Strep B...praying that it comes back negative. And I also think that he will be checking my cervix to see if I am dialated at all. I have been having contractions every blue moon for the past couple of days, and Silas is moving and hiccupping more than ever! He is ready to bust outta there!!
I, and my family, are hoping that he decided to come on Thanksgiving weekend. I will be just shy of 39 weeks and everybody will be here! My mom told me to get some walking shoes cuz we are gonna walk him out! LOL! We are so excited!
Here is a pic of us at 9 months pregnant....my belly isnt that big, but I know my baby is chunky and healthy so thats all that matters!! :)

WE'RE HAVING A BOY!!!! on July 29, 2011 2:40 pm
Hey all I am trying my best to keep my blog updated! I am 21 weeks pregnant (5m1w) and I feel so great!! I havent had any morning sickness really at all. PRAISE GOD!!! On July 8th we had our appt to find out the sex. I had been wanting a girl really bad for about a month, but when she said 'Looks like a boy!!' all of those desires for a girl flew out of the window! I have always said ever since I was a teen that I wanted a boy, and here I am carrying my son! We are naming him Silas LaMann. I have ALWAYS loved the name Silas because its unique and LaMann is my daddy and brother's middle name so I wanted to honor them for always being in my life. I got married a virgin and I really think having a stern, loving father guided me to stay pure. So I thank my daddy for that gift.
My mom is WAY excited about her first grandchild! She has bought him so many things already! A HUGE bag of clothes and diapers, and his crib bedding. LOL and I know she is not done yet! I feel him kick me all the time! I swear my son will end up playing soccer with the moves he makes! And this morning I was actually able to feel him moving above my belly button. He rolled and then I pushed on that spot and he shifted to a weird position! I felt lots of pressure so I think he was chillin on one of my organs. LOL! My heart is bursting with the love I have for my son. I would die for him already and I havent even met him yet!! Only 19 more weeks to go! Thanks for reading!! :)
Here is a 5 month pic!!

3 months pregnant!! on May 20, 2011 8:16 am
Hello family! Just wanted to do a quick updated blog. I am going on 12 weeks pregnant (3 months), and I am still SOOOO HAPPY! And in shock! After 3 years of trying and not seeing any positive results I had basically given up, but God had to show me to lean on Him, and I am so glad I did! He is awesome!! God proved the doctors that said my husband was infertile WRONG!! :) I was able to hear my baby's heartbeat for the first time a couple of days ago. It was the most beautiful sound I have ever heard! My heart swells every time I hear that beat. I can't believe (she) is mine! LOL yeah I want a girl, but hubby wants a boy. But he is praying for a girl since that's what I want....so sweet! LOL! I got lucky in this pregnancy and I haven't had much morning sickness AT ALL! Maybe only a couple of times. But I will say that my exhaustion is INSANE!!!! I can sleep as much as I want and I am still exhausted! I can't believe that! And also my food aversions are crazy! I can't believe how I can't eat anything I used to! And just the mention of chicken makes me sick (my stomach is turning now!)....But its all worth it in the end to know that my little love is baking in there and getting big and strong! Its amazing how much love I have for this little baby inside of me! Anyway, just wanted to let you all know how me and my child are doing! MY child! wow!! LOL! :)

1 YEAR OUT!! BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE!! <3 on April 5, 2011 7:58 am
Exactly a year ago today I was sitting at the hospital stressing out, and praying that the decision I was about to make was right for me. My family was there with me, and I'm sure they were asking themselves the same question.
I weighed 291lbs, and I was happy! BUT...being only 23 I had high blood pressure, my knee hurt on occasion, I was very uncomfortable in my skin, and (the BIGGEST issue for me) I did not ovulate which meant no kids for me. My main reason for surgery was having kids, as most of you all know.
For the first month I HATED the decision I made having surgery! I wished I could turn the hands of time and change it. I was depressed, and wanted to eat like I used to, and I was overwhelmed by the amount of vitamins and water I had to take.....but then I got the hang of my routine and I started to think this gastric bypass thing was okay after all.
Fast foward ONE YEAR and I would do everything over and over again!! I love my new life...I have made my personal goal of 170 (121lbs lost), my blood pressure is normal nowadays, I am very confident in myself, no achy pains, and the biggest acheivement of them all.........
I AM PREGNANT!!!!
I started ovulating about a month after surgery, and it was very hard not to make good use of my eggs every month. But we took precautions, and waited til it was 'legal' to have a baby! God is so good, they told my husband that he was infertile, and now I sit here carrying his baby.
Gastric bypass made all my dreams come true, I recommend it to any and everybody!!
Thanks for reading!

My Story My name is Channel, and I am new to OH. I am soooo happy I found it becuase I have gotten a lot of answers to my questions on here. Basically I am 23 years old and I have been overweight ALL my life. Out of all my friends I have always been the biggest. I got married when I was 20 and I praise God for a man who loves me for who I am. He loves my body. We have been trying to get pregnant for over a year now, and we have had NO luck.  My parents have high blood pressure, and I have it also. I am really trying to get this surgery so I can be healthy, have a baby, and lower my blood pressure. I weigh 278 pounds right now and IT SUCKS!!! So I just pray that I get approved for this RNY surgery. Thanks for reading!!
