Family,

I made it to 13 wks and 5 days and I'm so excited.  Two weeks ago I started bleeding a little, by the time I got to ER.. I had some pain.  Dr did pelvic and removed a large clot but to our surprise there was no active bleeding behind it.  Well last Thursday, I was at work bleed just began to flow.  By the time I got to ER I had soaked my pants.  There was no pain at all.  Dr did pelvic and removed another large clot, there was a little bleed left though.  Went to u/s and baby was moving all around and heartbeat was strong.  They can not tell me what is going on.  They know something is there and but can not name it since it is located behind the baby and they can't see it.  Talk about nervous.  But I will say that I told God, whatever his will is, I'm all for it.  As of now, I've on bedrest this week to allow that bleed to heal.  I'm grateful to God to be a mom again so I will not be depressed and upset, I'm enjoying the journey.

Keep us in your prayers!

I AM HEALTHY AND DOING WELL.  I WILL SHARE MORE LATER. 

BE BLESS AND STAY FOCUS!

Today, I finally took the time to sit down and caught on my life.  I have been so consumed with work, home, family and school.  I'm learning to reorganize things to fit in my new schedule.  Currently, I do cardio 5 days a week and meet with personal trainer twice a week between all the other stuff.  

Last I checked I had lost about 40 lbs.  April 4th was my month anniversary.  I don't weigh myself weekly, I just weigh when I do a check up.  I feel like I have 10 lbs to lose 60 lbs which will be my goal so I'm not rushing off the weight.  I'm focusing  on learning to eat again.  

Right now, I struggle with just simply eating a meal (small).  I'm not hungry and feel just taste the same or really feel good going down.  I do well with watermelon, popsicles, collard greens, applesauce, oatmeal and protein bars. The desire to eat is just simply gone but I so try.

I have found that can bearly get anything down in the mornings.  After about 10am or so, things go down better.  My family is very supportive and I do feel so much better.  

My blood sugar and blood pressure is now normal, no more cpap machine at night.  I was sleeping really well, but I think the stress is building up more and I'm starting to get less than 6 hours now.  I need 7 hours to feel great.  That makes a differnce, plus my husband had knee surgery and let's not forget that my English Mastiff had delivered 11 puppies that I'm helping her feed.  

I feel awesome overall.  My husband is starting to notice the eyes looking.

ok, I'm have lost 26 lbs at this point.  I feel better but I will say that I experience pain on the left side on and off.  I'm not sure if my food is in the right pipe.  I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.  

Stool softners are not my best friend and that could be the reason I hurt.  I'm still in the recliner because I don't want to wake up on my stomach again.  I've increased my liquid intake so I feel much better on that end.

Again, God gets all the glory!

Continue to pray for me!

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile but I have been focusing on my liquids, rest and proteins.  I can't seem to meet any of the requirements.  I'm close but not on point.  I'm doing good on vitamins, biotin, gas-x and moving around.  I have no pain and I'm have found that I can not handle SF popsicles after SF jello or no sugar added apple sauce.  I don't dump but I have a slight sensation of it.  I'm very caution about everything.  My mom has been a great help and makes sure I remember meds and food.  

I have not been hungry at all.  I am able to drink about 10 oz a day.  I'm close to my protein requirements intake.  I love SF popsicles.  They are my best friends.  

Lately, I struggled with constipation and headaches.  So, I increased my liquid intake and they are gone.  I started Bene Fiber chewables and they are great and work.  Everything on the inside feels really funny.  LOL.  I finally was able to sleep in the bed but woke up on my stomach. YES, pain.  So I'm back to the recliner.  DH has been sleeping on the couch next to me which really helps.  

I'm so ready for pureed food.  i have stacked up on those foods and I'm ready.  Mentally I'm ready but actually I'm not really hungry.  

What I miss:  Fruit
What I now hate: Prodiet--so sweet
What I have no desirer for: sweets
What I love the most: SF Popsicles
What I want: seafood- shrimp,lobster,crablegs
What I'll never eat again: chicken broth &  sf jello.

I have lost 22 lbs so far, my goal is to walk more and lost at least 25 lbs by March 4th.

I'll never forget this tool God has blessed me with.  He deserves all the honor and glory.  I haven't been released to exercise yet but once I am, I will continue to do so.  I know exercise is vital to my health along with this lifestyle change.  I don't regret it at all.  

My family is more supportive than what I thought!  My daughter and DH can see the small changes already.  Thank you Lord!

Remember to pray for me!

I have no pain but very very gas bubbles.  They make me miserable and I She gave me some helpful hints and they worked.  I made an attempt to lay on the couch but to find myself up in a couple hours in pain.  If I remain in the recliner, I'm cool.  So that will continue to be my home now.  

The prodiet is too sweet for me which is crazy, because I use too mix two different packs of crystal light just to drink liquids before surgery.  I love the peanut butter/banana smoothie (watered down).  The SF vanialla pudding is awesome also.  I'm no where near the 64 oz a day but I'm working my way up.  

I'm be really happy when I can have pureed food.

I WANTED TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR PRAYERS AND BLESSED THOUGHTS.

Dr Myers came in around 5 am and told me that my levels were back to normal and that I could go home.  I'm grateful for him and that he took the time to really watch me.  I was so relieved that I went to sleep and actullay slept good and a few hours.  Trip home was great.  But the GAS is#@$#@^$.  That's all I can say.  

I'm starting to feel better, up walking alot since  I can not have blood thinners.  Taking in fluids much much better.  The blood test continued to ensure my bloodcount was returing to normal.  Ladies, seems like after every surgery my blood count has went down and returned to normal so is just my bodies way of handling surgery. 

Nurse told me I would be staying another night until levels returned.
