Hello Everyone,

I have belonged to this group now for quite some time, just haven't been

posting. I have 3 wonderful children, 2 boys Noah 5, and Jonah 4. My little

girl

became an Angel on Nov. 22, 2001 while my mom in law let her and Noah out

alone to play and they went to a neighbors yard and she drowned in their pool.

It was such a hard time. I really only wanted to die then. I had my RNY on

Sept. 11, 2001 and in Oct. I had complications and the opening to my stomach

closed up so I had to be scoped and dialated. Then Nov. 6th I was in the

worst

pain I have ever felt and could not move from the floor (throwing up bile)

and

so my husband took me to the ER and they sent me on to the hospital for more

testing. For 2 days they couldn't figure it out, finally they discovered scar

tissue had wrapped around my intestines and was cutting off circulation.

They said I nearly died from it. At that time they also did hernia repair and

had me on high doses of potasium as they said it was critically low.. I was

in

the hospital a full week and had only been home 9 days (was still on pain

pills) when my mother in law let them out and she died. We lived in MS at the

time, but I hated it there so we moved her body to OK for burial. After her

death I divorced my husband and moved with my 2 boys to OK. It has been very

hard. I went through a lot of individual counseling and finally this past

year

agreed to go with my husband.. we went through his church and I am happy to

say

that we were remarried onSept. 04. (Just a few weeks ago). We just found out

too that we are expecting another baby. My little girl had wanted a

baby sister so badly when I was pg with Jonah, and she had picked out the name

Hannah. Whenever she would outgrow something she would tell me " mommy lets

save this for baby Hannah. " So it felt like Hannah is already a part of our

lives... so we are really praying it is a little girl (although I will love

and

cherish this baby boy or girl... really want it to just be healthy!!)

Anyways,

that is my story. I have been reading these boards for so long, but now feel

ready to become a more active member. My due date is set for May 24, 2005

however I am hoping they will take this one 2 weeks early like they did my

last,

I tend to have problems with my amniotic fluid absorbing in the last weeks of

pg.. I have my first visit this Friday at the Dr. office. Are there any

special test we need done in addition to the standard blood work? Well, I

look

forward to getting to know some of you as we go through our pg.
