There was a long and hard road I traveled down to become a mother and I am extremely blessed & grateful I was granted the gift of bringing our beautiful daughter into this world and that I had her father by my side every step of the way. After years of complications, followed with a year of surgeries, cancer diagnosis, and drug therapies I was informed I may never conceive a child. Instead of writing a short novel, here is a congested timeline of events:
** First period – Lasted 45 days: 1999
** Years of doctors visits & unanswered questions: 6
** Pap test results that changed my life: October 2004
** Given the news I may never have kids: September 2005
** Conception: May 2006
** My pre-pregnancy weight: 104 pounds
** EDD: February 14, 2007
** BD: February 10, 2007
** My delivery weight: 175 pounds
** My current weight: 110 pounds
** Ava’s Birthweight: 7 pounds 13.5 ounces
** Permanents earned along the way: 3 surgery scars, stretch marks, line of pregnancy & an episiotomy scar
** First time Ava Lynne said “Mama”: just shy of 6 months old
You are TOO cute! :)
How wonderful that you have your little miracle baby. You look wonderful!
You look great! I’m so sorry for all you’ve been through, can’t say I know how it is, because I got pregnant very easily, but I have an aunt who went through something similiar, still unable to carry a child to term. Congrats on your baby girl! Which I had your body! what did you do to lose the weight?
