I need to get ME back!

Dec 11, 2011

Well, I'm back.  Never thought that I would be able to say that.  I started this journey back in 2009 and I cant believe that its been 2 years.  Well, I was well on my way to RNY surgery and I was so excited and busy trying to make my dream a reality that I was not paying attention to my cycle.  Just before I was ready to pay the fee to request insurance approval, I realized that I was starting to feel nauseous and my period had not shown up.  " Oh, you have got to be kidding me!" " There is no way I'm pregnant 'cause I'm about start my journey to becoming thin and healthy!"  My pregnancy was confirmed in early November of 2009 and I was devastated.  To say I cut up in the doctor's office would be an understatement. 

Two days before Thanksgiving and one hour before arriving in Pittsburgh, my husband and I finally talked about having another baby.  I guess we were both in shock.  We gave each other a pep talk and just before arriving to my mother-in-law's house, we were having another baby and it was OK.  One month later, we found out that we were having twins. Double wow!!!!  Fast forward to 26 weeks and 5 days, which was when I went into pre-term labor and had Johnathan and Jacob.  They were 1lb 14 ounces and 1 lb 13 ounces. The biggest scare of my life.  I have never been so worried and scared.  My babies spent 66 days in the NICU and came home on oxygen.  I think back now and wonder how I got through 2010 with all that was going on.  My main concern was my children.

Now that my babies are healthy and almost two years old, I feel that it is time to get back to ME!  Getting back on OH has been my first step and I look forward to continuing this journey................
