Becky! Huge hugs to you! I am so thrilled your pregnant! Absolutely THRILLED! CONGRADS, CONGRADS, CONGRADS. Why is tyler upset? Is he worried that you might become so ill again and that you might also lose the baby again? I am lighting a candle tomorrow in our cathederal to you and your family.

Candi darlin, Congrads at being our next CL. Very cool, very cool, very cool.

Tara, my sweetie. I am sad to see you go as our CL, but I can completely understand. Just don't leave me. I'm one of your biggest fans. LOL.

Hey there! Thanks for the congrats! ;)


Total surprise. Believe me. Ty's upset for multiple reasons, or he was. He's doing better now. MOSTLY worried about my health and the same thing happening again as you said, but also, just not being the only kid anymore. His tearful

He'll be more excited, once he realizes it'll be ok health wise this time. What are chances of you having the same complications? Has the doctor told you, or do you have a thread on all my questions that I missed somewhere? Tell me how J is doing with everything.
I heard you married gals are all on a new board. Where? I looked, but couldn't find it. I just realized (stupid me), that Maggie isn't a CL either anymore. When did this happen? And why?

Woman, you need some catching up! LOL


Maggie stepped down as CL about...oh, I'd say 4 months ago? That's just my guess. She was busy with some other boards and felt pretty removed from single parenting and dating and didn't feel like a great fit as a CL here anymore. She stops by to visit from time to time. Her other board is on the Good Housekeeping boards link. It's Sex, Marriage and Intimacy.


Jas is doing VERY well with this new pregnancy. He's excited and supportive and just great. He was an incredible "nurse" to me last time, and is prepared to do the same again if necessary. Neither of us were prepared to "start from scratch" with the parenting business, being as Ty is close to 11 and we've tasted a little freedom here and there. That part is difficult for BOTH of us to wrap our minds around. But the rest of it is just thrilling to both of us. We're very hopeful that this will go well.


My specialist's gave me a 30% chance of recurrence of the PreEclampsia but only 10% of it being as early and as devastating. We're watching very closely and doing the few preventative things that they know of, including asprin therapy and MULTIPLE ultrasounds to watch my uterine arteries and how they're "flowing". Additionally, they've stabed me and removed a total of 20 vials of blood in the last week, retesting for every possible blood/clotting disorder in the book. Everything is negative so far. So, that makes my chances this time around pretty decent.


Thanks for asking!

Becky

Maggie!!

Your story is so amazing. It is great that both you and Chris are so dedicated to your health and that you were able to lose that amount of weight and keep it off.

You both look like you are in your 30's in those recent photos!! And what a happy story!!
