Wow! Its been a while!

Dec 28, 2008

Ok, So I just logged back in for the first time in over a year- WOW! And somewhere I lost most of my profile. I had a very elaborate blog with tons of updates- so I guess I will try to just sum all up in this post. Finally had RNY on May 17 2004, with Dr Babineau. Ended up paying for it myself. (still paying for it almost 5 years later...) Everything went fine- no complications. I lost 250lbs total, but at this point Ive put some back on. The weightloss journey has been an amazing one. I had a breast lift with implants/arm lift 18 months later. So far thats the only plastic surgery Ive had. I need a lower body lift so bad- but I cant afford it, and it would be pointless before Ive had my kids. Maybe one day....thats my long term goal at least. My short term goal is to lose the 40lbs that I gained when I got married! I got married Feb 10, 2007. A dream I never thought would come true! I got pregnant 6 months later- and now I have the most beautiful baby boy, Elijah. He was born May 8, 2008. He is almost 8 months old now, and is sooo silly!! I did not have any problems with the pregnancy, except low iron, which I had before I even got pregnant. I was able to eat enough for me and him, and he weighed 7lbs 13oz when he got here!!  I had a perfect, textbook labor and delivery...except my blood pressure dropped to 50/20 and would NOT come up when they gave me the epidural- their solution was to cut my epidural back- which wasnt great for me- but other than that everything was perfect! Im gonna try to post pics of me, and my new family!! And once again- my new years resolution is to get some weight off- before we try for kid #2!
