I need to update here...

In Feb we found out we were pregnant. Wonderful news as we had been trying for 7 years and 11 months for #2. Here is where things get tough. April 17th i started bleeding at 12w6d. Went to the ER, our baby was fine. Heartbeat perfect in the 150's. But DX with a SCH. Then April 28th another bleed at 14w3d. Used my home doppler to find the heartbeat and it was in the 150's again. So since it was 430am i waited til the morning to call the ob office. They got me in to find out my baby had no fluid. I was referred to a high risk ob for a detailed u/s. So the 29th we went. Again same answer... no fluid. I was told the out come wouldn't be good. We took the weekend to figure out what we should do. If we wanted to hold on to a baby that would never take a breath or you know. Well on may 3rd at 15w1d we went to our follow up and i was in labor. Already 1cm. So off to the hospital we went. Ended up delievering our completely healthy baby boy stillborn at 10pm May 3rd. After getting the pathology report my placenta came detached bc of the SCH that caused the bleeding. Our angel son's name is Jackson Robert.

Right now im just working on me and getting past this loss but can not wait to stary trying again as we really want another child.

Im proud to say though i only gained 2lbs in 15 weeks.

I had another fill on the 27th of Aug. Also, i am now in a size 18 jean and 14/16 and 16/18 shirts. I could wear the 14/16 all the time but i feel they don't fit me right yet. But WOOHOO for being in an 18 jean.

Woohoo yesterday was my band anniversary! I can honestly say im loving my band!

So i started the 30 day shred workout video today and boy oh boy Jillian kicked my butt. Def worth the money.

I lost 18lbs since my last dr visit. I didn't get a fill bc i don't need one. Hopefully i can do it again by my next appt.

We got back a few days ago and i feel like i walked the same distance as it is to get there. lol. It was hot, soooo hot. Next time we'll be doing the water parks in the summer. I feel like i dropped sooo much weight. I can't wait for my appt on the 16th to see.

Yesterday i went shopping ( time for new jeans again) and saw a dress i wanted to try on. I haven't wore a dress in years. So i picked up a 20 thinking i doubt it will fit but imma try. Well IT FIT!! So my friend said stay right there i'll be right back. She went and picked up a pair of size 20 non lane bryant jeans off the rack. Well i put them on and got them zipped and buttoned. It wasn't pretty and i wouldn't wear them out in public yet, but I GOT THEM ON!! And for the first time in a long time it wasn't stretch big girl jeans.  I bet in a couple of weeks i'll fit perfectly into that size 20

I had to go in and get another fill on the 7th. I think though it was pretty good going from Jan 24th til May 7th without a fill. But from going and seeing Dr. M on March 23 bc i had a stomach virus and needed to know if he wanted to unfill me a bit til Thursday i had gained 5.6lbs. Yep needed a fill. So i got 1cc put in my band. So that puts me to a total of 4.2ccs. I've already lost those 5.6lbs and am now on my way to lose more.

My short term goal is to be in a lane bryant size 3 by the end of the month.

 IT WILL HAPPEN!!!

The other day i had to go buy new jeans. I was in a lane bryant size 6 that was falling off of me. I wanted to wait longer before buying a new pair of jeans. But i went shopping with a friend who needed to buy a few things. So i though i'd try on a few pair of jeans and see what size i was in. Well i tried on the lane bryant size 5 and they were to big still. Slipped into the size 4 and they fit perfectly. I was amazed. But i thought to myself, im not going to buy them yet. That quickly changed when i put my size 6's back on and i noticed they were way to big. While i had the 4's on i said out loud, wow im getting skinny. But once i put the 6's back on i felt like i hadn't lost anything. So yep i bought a new pair of jeans.

So since having surgery i have went from a lane bryant size 9 to a size 4  Only 3 more sizes and i'll be out of their jeans all together woohoo!! 

I've went down in jeans size and shirt size  Down 2 sizes in jeans and 3 sizes in shirts. I am proud of myself. If i didn't have this belly still i would be down more sizes in jeans. But i can't complain, im still shrinking.

Thursday the 12th im flying out to Texas. I can't wait to see family. Im taking all my larger clothes down to give to a friend. I can't wait to get rid of them. I also can't wait to be at my goal to buy a whole new closet full. I have to now buy 1 pair of jeans/shorts at a time and a few shirts at a time. Im getting tired of wearing the same shirts over and over again but its worth it to me.

I am so in love with my band nowadays. Now don't get me wrong i loved it before, but now that im at my sweet spot and finally feel restriction all the time i love it even more. I was one that thought i'd never reach my sweet spot, but to be able to  reach it only 5ish months after surgery is wonderful. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks since my 4th fill and i've lost 7lbs. WOOHOO!!
