Well, had my baby!  Read more on my regular blog:  http://monileigh.blogdrive.com  to read up on Silas.  Or go to his little site I made him...  http://monileigh.pixel-playhouse.com/Silas.html 

I have lost 180 pounds since last June 9th, 2004 now!!!!!  Yeah!  I am in a size 14-16 or so.  I feel wonderful.  And I just had my baby 4 weeks ago today.   So that is pretty good I think!

Had some probs with my pregnancy...you can also read back in my blog for details on that as well.  We think it may be to nutrition issues since I got preggo so fast after my surgery.  PLEASE be sure to use DOUBLE protection, Ladies when having this surgery!  We were taking one precaution but did not know I would not absorb it!  So you can be sure we are being extra careful in the future.  It is not healthy for you or your unborn baby!  My placenta was not very viable and the cord was very puny and shriveled.  Again, we think due to the surgery.  This makes me sick to think I almost cost my baby's life.  I wish I would have researched more so I would have known I would not absorb my pill like normal people. 

Oh well, the Lord is good as Silas is fine now!   We made it!
