I have not been here in prob a couple of years. I had gastric bypass in aug 2004 and after my year wait we tried two months to get pg to no avail. We just figured with our age and all we just would be thankful that the Lord led us to each other and since I had lost 132lbs I would enjoy the new me. Where here I am almost three years out from surger and just found out after 12 years of ttc we are pg. I am still in shock! So here I sit 38 years old dh 41 and scared to death. lol lol We are very very happy but just walking around not knowing what to do. lol lol I am 7 weeks 5 days. We had our first ultrasound this past monday and our little butterbean has a very very strong heartbeat. The dr said with one that strong less than 5% chance of miscarrage so we are very happy with that. I guess I just want to pass a little hope onto someone else that it can happen!!!!
Love
Denise
