Keeping you up to date on my condition

[Guest guest]

By now, I'm sure that most people don't even remember me!!! Well I'm still alive and well. For those of you who don't have a clue of who I am, I've been with the egroup for awhile, but have been bed ridden since mid November because of preterm labor (I'm now 28 weeks pregnant).

I was at the doctor's office yesterday and my cervix has remained stable, ie no further dilatation (I'm already dilated at 1cm, for those of you who understand this jargon!). However, now I am stuck with iron deficiency anemia!! No wonder I was feeling so tired and out of breath!!! Even the slightest activity makes me pump for air... Comparing with my pre-pregnancy shape, what a difference!!!

I started reading the messages again, and I am so anxious to start working out again, you wouldn't believe. I guess it takes something like what I'm going thru to make me realize how lucky I was to be able to get up and be active whenever I wanted. I've always taken that for granted. When this is all over, I guarantee you that I will never complain ever again about having to exercise or workout!

For those of you out there who need motivation, think of how lucky you are to be able to workout. To be in good health and be active is a gift from God. I thank God everyday that this situation for me is only temporary, and I know that it is an obstacle that has been put in front of me to make me realize how lucky I really am.

Sorry this was so long...
