That's why I'm being banded in Feb. DH is being banded in Jan. and Dr. thought it would be better to have separate surgeries. I'm looking forward to Thursday, I'm going for the nutritional workshop with DH. Thanks for putting my mind at ease.

Hey Diva, nice to hear from you again. How have you been feeling? Wow, 7 weeks already. I remember when you first told us you were pregnant, it seems like yesterday.

HeatherO, when do you find out gender or are you going to? It looks like its going to be a year for boys. Including Fairy, I know 3 other people that are have boys...ones even having triplets, ALL BOYS:scared2:!! Could you imagine:whatchutalkingabout??!!

I totally feel your pain but it's mind over matter! I was banded on Dec. 20th- so I was on the preop liquid diet all during the holiday parties, and on the bland post-op liquid diet through Christmas and New Years. It was hell on earth, but totally worth it. Just keep reminding yourself that this is something YOU want to do and you are strong enough to handle it. You will be so proud of yourself after the holidays are over.

Good luck!!!

My husband and I are TTC too. I was banded on 2/13/08 and have lost 46 pounds. We can't wait either because of health reasons and have been given the go ahead from the doctors. I've noticed since I've been trying, I haven't lost any more weight (the last 5 months). I'm so frustrated. I have been taking Clomed for three months and this past month, I had a folicle study this past month and I had three good folicles, they gave me a shot to drop the egg and still no pregnancy. So, I'm wondering if we should just quit it all and I will focus on weightloss and maybe the baby thing will come eventually but I'm afraid I'm running out of time. I'm 35 soon to be 36.

thanks, i know. it's just super depressing this time of year watching everyone else gobble up yummy stuff and i am starving to death :huh2:. i had a nibble of a cracker today...i know babd girl but i couldn't do it!! it won't affect anything--it was way too small but i feel myself getting more and more daring to eat. yesterday i had one of my son's maccaroni and cheese noodles:crying:. this is sooooooooooooo hard!!!!!

I won't know the gender until about 20 days later on January 12th. I hope the baby is cooperative, lol. My husband doesn't want to know early, but there is just no way on earth I am willing to wait if I can have the answer, lol.

I know many people expecting babies next year also, everyone is having a boy. What is up with that???? Does it run in cycles, lol.

I am kind of hoping for a girl, but a boy is just fine. My husband is absolutely convinced it is a girl . . . he said he had a dream, lol.

[Daisalana 33]

I was convinced it was a boy, I had dreams it was a boy..and sure enough! I did want a girl, but only for the cute nursery & clothes. Healthy is all that really matters!

And boys never grow up to hate their mom.

My baby wasn't being cooperative, he was sitting breech so the tech had to go back several times to try to get a good picture, and she couldn't get far down enough most the time. But he was kicking his legs a lot, so didn't have to worry about him covering up.. not modest!

I know DH really wanted a girl, his mom had 3 boys trying to have girls and gave up.. they really wanted it to be a girl, so I think he wanted to be able to give them that lol. Oh well, maybe next time.

[losingjusme 12]

i, too, was convinced Joshua was a boy... i've been calling him "he" since i knew i was pregnant.. after about 4-5 ultrasounds, he finally flashed and mooned us... no doubt - ALL boy! i, too, kinda sorta wanted a girl only cause of the cute stuff you can buy (and we had SOOOOO many girl stuff from DD)... but now that i'm shopping, there's tons of cute boy stuff and it's not ALL sporty-type prints - which are 'ok', just not my fave.

good luck with your US, Heather!

Thanks :0). With any luck the baby will be uninhibited and flash us the answer to the question. I also plan on drinking a big old glass of orange juice right before.

I also noticed from your blog that you called him "Tigger" until you knew he was a boy, lol. Somehow Tigger doesn't have a very feminine ring to it. :thumbup:

yeah, Tigger because when we did have the ultrasounds, even the first 'real' one (not when he was just a speck), he literally bounced around everywhere... im sure my Chick Fil A lemonades beforehand didnt help

i still call him tigger every once in awhile and that may be his nickname once he joins us (DD is Buttercup), so ??

hey guys just wanted to check in- I'm going through a pretty hard time right now. I went to my OBon xmas eve because tuesday I had terrible low back pain and began to spot wed AM. She did an exam and siad she saw some loose tissue and thought I was miscarrying, so she sent me for an ultrasound. They did see a heart beat so at that point I hadn't miscarried and I was sent home to take it easy over the holiday. I continued to have the back pain, and spotting with abdominal cramping. All signs of miscarriage. Friday I went back in and had my HGC level tested. Tomorrow I will have it tested again. If the levels had doubled then the baby is growing like it should. If the number is up just a little then something is worng and if the number has gone down I have lost the baby. So I've had to sit around all weekend wondering what is going on and it has been HORRIBLE! I guess I will know tomorrow what is going on. THe spotting is better today but I've all but convinced myself that I have miscarried just to prepare for the worst. Anyhow keep baby in your thoughts and prayers and I will let you guys know tomorrow what's going on:huh2:
