1 & 1/2 years out......I'm pregnant!

Nov 18, 2009

Nov 17, 2009 - Back when I went for my 1 year checkup earlier this year, I spoke with my surgeon about getting pregnant & then spoke with my OB to get on a prenatal vitamin regimen.  The only main switch was exchanging the daily multi vitamin 2x/day for a once a day prenatal with DHA. I also take an add'l 400 mg of Folic Acid.

Well, in july it happened...and today I am pleased to announce that I'm 4 1/2 mths preggie (17th week)

In the first trimester, I felt pretty icky (basically all day "morning sickness"), so kept fluctuating up & down over 5 lbs.  In the last few weeks I've been feeling a heck of a lot better, so I've been eating more.  I am trying really hard to stick to protien based food, but my sweet tooth is kicking in.  I dont "DUMP", so i'll admit that I sneak some chocolates (ie: 3 musketeer minitures) in here & there.  Two usually calms the cravings.

I've been told with the WLS, my goal is to gain approx 25 lbs total......so far I've gained approx 10 lbs from when I stopped logging in my weight loss (today I'm 170.5 lbs), so feel that I'm on track.

here is me & hubby getting ready to announce to my family the good news.  I'm wearing a t-shirt that hubby made for me the night stating the sex of the baby (due to my age - I took the CVS Test to make sure there were no genetic disorders & one of the awesome outcomes is that I can find out the gender almost 6 weeks before everyone else via u/s)
