I just realized that is has been a very long time since I have updated my page.  I am currently 2.5 years out of surgery and in my 12th week of being pregnant :)  Yup, I am actually able to get pregnant.  I swore I couldn't have kids, but I guess maybe it was just my weight.  My boyfriend and I are expecting our first child around October 7th and are extremely excited.  All has been good in the weight loss department, except that now I am gaining baby weight.  Let me tell you it isn't easy!  I have been slowly making a pile of clothes that don't fit and it is a bit depressing.  I just have to keep reminding myself that the weight is for a good cause.  That of course puts a huge smile on my face.  My first doctors appointment for the baby I was 6 weeks along and weighed in at 158 lbs.  6 weeks later I am 12 lbs heavier.  WOAH!!!  I am actually quite surprised my doctor didn't say anything about that.  I try to be careful about what I eat, but I think the thing that gets me is that I am hungry all of the time.  If I do not eat every 2 hours or so then I get pretty sick.  It isn't fun.  Then it is torture trying to eat.  So, I try to keep up with healthy snacks.

I just realized it is time to go home so I will have to write more later!
