Hello purple team! Glad to say I've been OP for the last 13 days not exercising as much but still seeing results.

Selina-sorry to hear about your loss I hope things go your way this week.

Mum-wow that labor sounds very stressful! But I'm sure it was all worth it. I hope you get to feeling better soon.

Page- I hope things (clots) are better for you. Thats strange they didn't find anything. Glad to hear the scale is moving.

Bigmid-we had nice weather for a few days (some would say down right hot) then a round of tornados and in a matter of days we went from the 90's to the 50's. As for your summer clothes, you could make that a goal, make them loose by the end of summer.

Dora-Congrats on sticking with your plan and your NSV's Keep up the hardwork.

Susan- how are things going? Are you still doing Zumba?


My babies: I've been lucky, both of my pregnancies were fairly easy. DD decided to come into the world the day we were suppose to load up the moving van and head to our new home 3 hours away. Instead we spent the day at the hospital, I went into labor at 3am and at 6:52pm she was born. She was the most beautiful thing I had seen (as all mothers think). When she got older she'd always ask for a brother or sister and we'd tease saying when your 10 we'll have another one so you can help babysit. A surprise pregnancy made that wish come true early for her. Found out in 2008 I was pregnant. During the pregnancy, the doctor ran a test and thought there was a high risk of him having downs, so we went to a specialist and he did an ultrasound and he felt that he did have downs. I was crushed, my daughter is more of an artsy child and not much of an athlete and I was hoping this baby was going to be my star athlete. Don't get me wrong I was going to love this child with all my heart, but I had to rethink all my hopes and dreams for the child. The specialist gave us the option of an amnio, it was risky but then we would definitely know for sure. We decided that we would do the procedure. It took a few days for the results to come back (the longest time of my life), the nurse called, my heart was beating out of my chest, she said "I have your results, they came back negative", I started bawling. I started calling people, then I started second guessing myself as to what she had said. I had to call her back and made sure I understood her right.lol My DS was an easy labor went into labor at 2:30am and and had him 8:54 am, would have been sooner, but I wanted to wait for my doctor. My DD is now 8 and loves dance, gymnastics, and music. DS's now 2 and is all boy. Loves his cars and trucks and his baseball. I've got the best of both worlds

Dream: where are you located because your weather seems a lot like our's here in OK? lol I think its weird they didn't find it; i keep getting from people I know that they think I miscarried. I dont know and I dont want to know.

To answer the question about my kids' births would be long if I went into detail so I will give a short version lol.
Asher: I had high blood pressure starting at 36 weeks (along with going into preterm labor once at 35 weeks) so at 37 weeks my doctor did an ultrasound in her office to estimate size and maturity. She estimated 7 lbs and determined he would be fine to come early. I went in the next day (9/18/07) to be induced. Being a first time mom I wanted to go natural. Pitocin kicked my butt though. I made it 8 hours with nothing. After stalling at 3 cm and breaking my water, I NEEDED an epidural. Good thing too because at 9 pm his heart rate was going haywire and I wasn't progressing. The doctor decided on an emergency c-section. He was stuck in my pelvis (large head and body). He came out 8lbs 1.6 oz! The hospital stay was unpleasant but that is another story lol.
Kam: I went into preterm labor at 30 weeks, 35 weeks, and finally went into labor they wouldn't stop at 38 weeks (not that they could stop it as nothing was stopping it lol). I was scheduled for a c-section at 39 weeks but Kam didn't want to wait. I tried to do a vbac with no pain killers but due to having a LEEP the month I got pregnant with Kam (hence the reason for his unplanned pregnancy lol) scar tissue wouldn't allow for me to dilate past 1 cm. So I opted for an c-section. We thought he would be bigger than Ash but he came out 7 lbs 6.8 oz. Longer though. Ash was 19.25" and Kam was an even 21".
Interesting side note (at least to me lol) My kids are mixed with black and they came out so white. When Ash came out, they went to show him to me and my first thought was he isn't mine he is white! Lol...Kam came out (and still kinda looks) Asian-looking. People assume my kids are hispanic (ash) and Asian (kam). SMH
