Re: Lurker Introducing Herself..HI!!! ---->Deanna

[Guest guest]

Deanna,

Your happiness and enthusiasm were so infectious I had to respond

and say WELCOME!! And congrats!!

Sounds like you and I have a few things in common - before my WLS,

despite clomid/fertility tx, etc, I couldn't even ovulate on my own

due to PCOS...After WLS May 03, I got cycles every month on my own

without meds...and after 7 yrs of marriage got pregnant on the first

try at 9 mos post op!!!

We are expecting our little one Nov 10 - I am 32wk 3d today. I have

had some complications this week (PIH) and been put on bedrest, but

what ever it takes. I had an u/s yesterday and my little one is 3lb

13 oz and was sucking toes, covering her eyes, etc...It was amazing

to watch...It was my 7 th u/s of this pregnancy due to earlier

complications...

I am an RN who lives in Calgary Canada, 35yrs old...I wanted to tell

you that TEAM PINK rules here too, as we are having a little girl.

Her name is Jorja and I can't wait to meet

her...They are hoping to hold off a few wks due to her only being 32

weeks, but if my bp doesn't settle, I may need to deliver early.

Anyway, just wanted to introduce myself, say hi and welcome!!!

Congrats, Deanna,

Hugs,
