Life changes!


 I haven't wrote it sometime. A few new developments have happened in our life! Some are exciting and some are crazy!!

    First off, I'm PREGNANT! I'm due Feb. 20th 2013! We got pregnant, without any medical intervention. It was a HUGE surprise. We had tried for 3 years , without any catches. We had two miscarriages.
 One of the first things that comes to mind, is my weight. I was beyond terrified of my weight. I was weighing around 378, when we became pregnant. I went to my first doctors appointment, and confirmed what I already knew, and had a previous OBGYN tell me. I had PCOS (Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome). It affects people differently. Mine caused massive bad cramping during my period, and when I ovulated.
 So, When we had been trying to get pregnant.. I tracked when we thought I would ovulate. Well comes to find out. I ovulate LATE! I do not ovulate on my 28th day, or however it goes. So please, if you too are trying to get pregnant, and you keep trying around your ovulation date.. Don't skip other times!
  Well I was around 4 weeks along, and for whatever reason I KNEW I was pregnant. So, I went and got a 98cent pregnancy test from Walmart. Took it, and before time was up my positive was bright as day! This was 2am. My husband had to work the next day, and he was snoring in the bedroom. I ran jumped on the bed and said " LOOK WE ARE PREGNANT!!!". He was happy, and excited and I asked him the next day if he remembered. He said yes! LOL I of course called, and text everyone I could the next day, and blasted it in facebook. It was something to be happy about. Then, I stopped and worried till I hit my second trimester. I knew a miscarriage was possible  I was afraid, and very scared. I stayed in bed with morning sickness a lot. I was constantly sick, or not feeling well.
 My first real appointment I was 5 weeks 6 days a long. The doctor checked me over and drew blood. Well two weeks later they call and want me to attend a Gestational Diabetes class.. I was NOT happy. I waited two more weeks.. so I was 10 weeks along before they started me in on my diet. The first week was just diet controlled, and they didn't feel I could keep it down by diet. They started me on 1000mg of Metformin a day. Later, they started me on Humalin N, 10U at bedtime. I'm still only on 10U. I am however at 2000mg Met. I would rather take it then anything!. I've ALSO lost weight 25lbs to date. I'm down to 350! which is great. Baby is growing beyond great and we are happy!!

       By the way baby is a GIRL! We have our perfect little family.. :)
