to be amazed and inspired by your daily life. You are a beautiful friend and I want you to know how much I care about you and your family. Tie the knot and hang on tight, what a magnificent story you have to share with that baby girl!

Since you'll be spending so much time there... (Reply to this comment)

...have your husband and friends add touches to your bedroom that will make it especially pleasant and restful for you such as softly-glowing Christmas lights (that can continue to stay up long after Christmas is over); a radio/CD player and favorite CDs within your reach; one of those Scent Stories players; TV & DVD player/VCR with remote control and a choice of movies; favorite books; fresh flowers and planters.

Spend quality time with Zack--but make sure that he understands that it needs to be quiet time at this time and that Mommy needs a lot of time alone to rest and feel all-better.

Have headphones?

Bond with your baby by sharing your music by placing the headphones on your tummy.

If your husband can't do everything in the way of domestic chores needing to be done, look into volunteer services that can do so.

You'll be in my prayers!

Blessings!

I understand hernias are very common with gastric bypass patients-Zack all aside.

I am blown away that a doctor would prescribe a narcotic for someone pregnant.

Anyway, take care and hope you are better soon.

..........Lisa, I hope that they can find some way to make you more comfortable. Pregnancy isn't a comfortable thing, but you sure have challenges that not many have had to deal with.

Prayers and hugs to you......kath

Atleast you sort of know when the pregnancy is over the only pain will be your ears from the cries of your hungry new little baby. Hang in there =)
