I am so glad you posted this! It's been really hard for me to keep my mouth shut. It's hard to keep such good news quiet. I've been dying to ask you how you're feeling. So glad to hear you've had no morning sickness.

I can't wait for updates! Any names picked out yet?

CONGRATZ :D :D :D :D. Wonderful news. We are all looking forward to more updates and more ultrasounds. Are you gonna get the 3 or 4D ultrasounds?

I bet your son is happy too. He's gonna be a big brother now. That's alot of responsibility. They act like they don't care, but they love it. :rolleyes:

Good luck and best wishes on a healthy and happy pregnancy.

Thank you all so very much ! ! ! We are absolutely elated, and each day brings something new. My cravings for foods are pretty all over the place. I truly appreciate all of y'alls support and encouragement. I already have appointments scheduled for the 11 and 12 week mark, and I'm anxiously counting down the days.

My tummy is definitely changing. I have the standard "bloated" appearance, and my super skinny jeans are not working anymore. But, I haven't been able to bring myself to take pictures of my belly since there isn't much there. But, I'll start a photo journal soon as soon as it actually pops into some form of bump.

Thanks again everyone ! ! !

Thanks for keeping our secret ! ! ! We have some names picked out, but are undecided on a boy's middle name. We're bouncing around a few, but can't decide definitely on the middle name.

Since I'm high risk, the 3d U/S is pretty standard so they can monitor the baby's heart. . . I'm not sure when that will happen, but it's in the "list" of things they'll do to me.

Thanks so much

OMGosh!!!! CONGRATULATIONS, Tiff!!! I'm SOOOOOOO thrilled for both of you!!! You give me so much hope! We've tried to conceive for the last 5 years and nothing.....it's one of the reasons I had the VSG! So I could get knocked up! YAY!!! You don't have a picture of that positive pg test??? (Maybe I'm the only nut who would want to see something you've pee'd on! LOL!) Well, a VERY happy and healthy 9 months to you and your bean!!!!

LOL LOL I completely forgot I even had pictures of the test. It was the last test in my drawer which is pretty odd. I had stockpiled those little boogers over the last 14 months, and it was 9:45pm when I tested, I didn't even think I was pregnant. I just pee'd on the stick in hopes that it pop negative and I would start my period like I had done so many months before.

In Januray, I was 11 days late. Popped negative on every test, had blood drawn and my HCG spiked, then dropped, and I started a couple of days later. They suspect another chemical pregnancy so I had given up. Had the appointment with the reproductive endocrinologist scheduled for March 24th, and honestly, I just wanted my period to start so I would quit being so bitchy LOL LOL. We only had sex one day during my ovulation days, so I know the exact day we conceived Sprout, and I was totally caught off guard with the positive. I just pee'd on the stick, tossed it on the counter, and went to fold some bath towels, carried those 3 bath towels back into the bathroom to put them away, glanced at the test and it said PREGNANT. If I hadn't have just pee'd, I'm sure I would have pee'd on myself. I just starting bawling, like sobbing, and carried the stick into the living room where my husband was playing Call of Duty. He was like "ohh huney, what's wrong?" I handed him the stick, standing there sobbing, and his reply was "well, that's just great dear" THROAT PUNCHING almost commenced ! ! ! It didn't hit him until the next day, and then the questions and emotions ran through him. He just isn't an emotional guy, except I could see the joy in his eyes as he watched the fluttering of Sprout's heartbeat on the u/s screen. It was pretty amazing ! ! !

Sorry, it's blurry, I was shaking when I took the picture.

Just to let everyone know, the results will stay displayed for about 24 hours. I put the test in a plastic baggy, and it's stored away.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
