And the baby is a .......
Apr 09, 2007
GIRL!!!!! This will be girl #3 and hopefully the last child that I have. There will be no "trying for a boy". I am soooooo happy that this baby is a girl! I have a house full of girl things and I am just really happy! I want to tell my coworkers and some of my mom's coworkers that I don't need a boy to "round it out" or get a "full experience of motherhood". I am going to have 3 kids--that's full enough for me! I am very fulfilled with 3 girls and I feel that God has given me what he feels I need. I just have to find a nice way to tell people to shove it and keep their rude-disguised-as-cute comments to themselves.
Surgeon's visit
Apr 05, 2007
I went to see Dr. Byrne today. I have not seen him sicnce December'06 and I felt like I should since I am scheduled for a port revision on April 27. Well--needless to say that after all these months of worrying that I will be pregnant and having surgery to fix a flipped port, he feels my port today and says he feels it right there and could do a one stick fill if he had to----WHAT!!!???!!! I told him that last time he said it was flipped and I had surgery scheduled to fix it in 2 weeks. He admitted that he had also misdiagnosed another girl and then under fluro saw that it was not flipped and filled her under fluro!!! I have been worried about this since December!!! ANYWAY--deep breaths----CALM---
I now don't have to go back to see him until after the baby is born and we can start the fill process again and get me lookin' hot!! (my words, not his) hehehe . I still have 2cc's and he said as long as I was eating and not throwing up a lot that I could keep my fill--YIPEE!! I did not want to lose the fill cause I would balloon up with all the cravings I've been having. I also had an ultrasound 3 weeks ago and the baby has no sign of anemia yet but I could not tell what the sex was. The little joker had it's legs slammed shut! Tomorrow I will have another ultrasound. I am scheduled for every 2 weeks for U/S and MCA dopplers to monitor for fetal anemia. Pray that everything goes well--and that it's another girl. I'll update tomorrow. (one more note--I was 247 when I got pregnant, a loss of 23lbs, and I have only gained ONE pound in 5 months)

Pregnancy Update
Feb 03, 2007
Well, I have not updated in a while so here goes. I had some bleeding a week and a half ago and had an U/S and found out I have a subchorionic bleed. It stopped three days later but this morning it is back again with bright red blood which is scaring me. I feel so sick because I have had a sinus infection for 2 weeks and a stomach virus for 4 days. I am dry heaving and spitting in my trash can all day. I feel just terrible. I am also RH negative and for some reason I did not receive my Rhogam shot after the birth of my last child and my blood has been sensitized. I have already got a Rhogam shot for the current bleeding but my blood tests also show that my blood has developed antibody C and D which could cause anemia in the baby. My boyfriend has to get tested for the C & D anitgens. I have to make an appt to see a high risk maternity specialist after he takes these labs. I also will have future problems with blood products if I should ever need a transfusion! The baby is growing fine but I am just a little frazzled. My glucose test also was 133. They said this is NOT gestational diabetes but in my last pregnancy my Doc would flip when she saw this number on my blood sugar journal so I need to double check--GDM or NOT?? I am 10 weeks and I don't know how many days but I am sooooo sick to my stomach! I wish the nausea would go away. I have another appt Feb 13 and I will update after that or if something else happens.
Scheduled surgery
Jan 17, 2007
I scheduled my surgery to fix my port on April 27. I will be about 5 months pregnant. I am still scared and unsure about this. My OB told me that it will be OK after I get out of my first trimester. Please pray everything goes as planned and the baby is safe.

I'm Pregnant with baby #3
Dec 29, 2006
I am a week late. Well, last night I tell my boyfriend to go to Walmart and get me the cheapest test they have. I take one when I got home last night (two are in the box). Well, of course it is so vague that I really can't tell. SO, this morning before work (Saturday) I took the other one. This was also vague. I hate the tests that give both the + and - sign. Just put NO LINE if you are not pregnant--lots less confusion. Anyway, this morning I hightail it to walmart and buy the tests myself. Two different brands. One digital--no human error, the thing has a digital readout "pregnant" no lines to interpret. And, the other test, two lines preggers, one line not. I had brought the morning urine sample in a glass with me in the car --gross I know, but I had to get to work and desperate times call for desperate measures. I opened both packages and dipped one after the other. The one with the lines showed one line--thank God, then it got almost done and showed another--at the same time, the digital readout says"pregnant"
I kindof knew it when I didn't get my period this week. I have just paid for my Mirena IUD and have the appt for insertion on Jan 8. That will be my prenatal appt now I guess. We really weren't wanting anymore kids but I guess this is what God wanted for us and our family. We are soooooo fertile. I can't even look at him without getting pregnant!! : )
My mom has been really weird about this too, She keeps saying OH, I know this is the time of year you get pregnant, and my oldest daughter says, I want another baby--WISH GRANTED!!! Anyway, this is strange news but a baby is always a blessing. I am only 4 months postop so I am not really going backwards in my weight loss too much. I had gestational diabetes last time, so I hope my small loss has caused that to go away. Anyway, I'll update again after the 8th. I guess my port flip surgery is on hold for the next 9 months!!!

MY PORT FLIPPED!!!
Dec 21, 2006
I have no idea how this could have happened!!! I obviously don't exercise (hence the 23lbs in 4 months) and I don't strain myself at all. My kids have landed on my port a few times and I always sleep on my right side(port side). I have to schedule another surgery to fix it. I never wanted to have general anesthesia again in my life!! All that and another IV just to fix a supposed flipped port. I hope he does not open me up and see that "HEY, it's not flipped". That would erk the crap out of me. I still think he just missed the membrane and was hitting the edges of my port. He said to the nurse, "do you hear that, I'm just hitting metal" "your port flipped" and then the nurse "oh, I'm soooo sorry". I almost cried as I was leaving. I had waited two hours for my fill!! I also went this time with no numbing meds, they hurt worse than the fill needle. Anyway, he poked me about three times and I almost passed out. It was not really painful, just a lot of pushing and moving and weirdness within the port area! He will fill me at the time he fixes the flip. He said .5 will go in. That would bring me to 2.5 which I needed desperately before Christmas. I guess I have to use sheer willpower to make it though New Years!! AHHHH and on January 8 I go see my OB for my Mirena insertion. Everything all at once I guess. I just told my boss I would need ONE day off and that's it. It will be an outpatient procedure and then I will recover at home until I need to go to work at 5pm the next night. I hope that will be enough time--I only took 3 days off for my lap-band. Anyway, I hope all goes well. Everyone have a good Christmas or whichever holiday you are celebrating this time of year.
-1 lb. How'd that happen?
Dec 15, 2006

-22 POUNDS
Dec 06, 2006
Fill #3 is still kicking my butt. I'm PB'ing everyday. I still can't get used to the fact that I'm not hungry and I am tight up until 5pm. I think I am taking bites that are too large. I need to do PEA size. Not tip of my fork size. Anyway, I was at 248.5 today!!!
