Thanks everyone, they are supposed to hear today from his blood cultures and if all is going good with that they should be able to bring him home today. I am so hoping they are going to be able to bring the little guy home. Its so hard on Jessica because she of course just had the c-section on friday and they did let her go home yesterday so she could go see chance but the hospital is like 35 mins away from their home, so the back and forth is super hard on her having just had surgery. I really hope they can bring the little guy home today so they can bond good with their little guy.

I am counting the days until I can go see him. As of now we are planning on leaving June 20th to make the trip down to see him. I know my problem will be i will not want to come back home. I will want to stay with the little precious one.

My weight was actually really good today it had been hanging more around the 147.8 to 148 range but today I was back down to 146.6 so I was very happy about that.

Wishing you a safe journey, Ruth (Fly Girl)!!

Can't wait to hear all about it.  The world is now your oyster.

Good to hear from you Johnita - boy lots of WOWs in your post.

First congratulations on getting below your goal and maintaining - I think maintaining is harder and it's good to see you have a plan to deal with it.

Second congratulations of your daughter's graduation - LOL no matter what you do, they still grow up and become adults.

Third congratulations on your new nephew - sounds like he's getting excellent care even if it is a little scary. Hope he does well and gets to go home soon. I can see why you want to get down quickly to visit the new baby. Nothing like cuddling and kissing a baby - that wonderful baby smell.

Hey everyone it's been a while since I've checked in. I've been so busy lately working tons of hours and my daughter is graduating high school Monday so getting ready for that has also been stressful. My weight has been doing great, I'm doing the curves approach which is to stay within a 3 pound range of your goal weight. So since I hit my goal weight on March 21st I have done great and I am staying between 145 - 148 without allowing myself to go over 148 pounds and it's worked wonderful.  I had been so scared I wouldn't be able to maintain, but i'm so happy that I can actually do that this time.

I am in the process of planning a quick trip to Florida in 2 weeks we hadn't planned to go for at least another month. But when my brother's baby was born yesterday, they had to end up putting him in ICU it's looking good though so far all tests are coming back normal, (they thought he might have been having seizures when he was born), but it's looking like he hadn't had a seizure and his oxygen level was just a little low. They're just waiting on one more test to come back tomorrow and if it comes back normal they'll be able to take him home. So, we are wanting to get down and visit the little guy as soon as possible.

Hope you are all doing great on your weight loss journeys.
