What Day Is Today?

It seems that I have slept my life away this week! Starting with the fluids and meds on Monday, things have just gone downhill from there. 

On another note, when I went to my appointment with my hematologist, I had to get on the scale. 

Yeah I think it was broken because there is no way I way that much!

Okay. 

So maybe I do weigh as much as it said! Which means I am the heaviest I have ever been in life and that has to end. 

[Insert exercise here]--I wish it was this easy!

So today, when my husband was on his way out the door to walk the dog, I came with. It was pure torture. He runs these blocks every morning but I only walk to my car. Shame I know. 

This weight is definitely motivation to get moving because I do not want diabetes or any other problems that may come with being overweight.

And now it's time for the oxymoron of this post, I made a fudge chocolate cake. 


I am totally screwed when it comes to getting rid of these pounds.

Some days...

I have to say that I am sick of being sick. Tired of the hospital stays and doctors. Tired of well wishers and concerned emails, texts, and phone calls. It's not that I don't appreciate them, it's that I am constantly having to remember all the drama of this pregnancy. I live it everyday.

32 weeks!?!

If you are keeping count, 32 weeks has come and gone and now I am being told to hang on until at least 34 weeks. Considering that I am in significantly less pain now since the blood transfusion, I believe I can do it physically. But mentally I have hit a block a few weeks back where all I did was cry over the guilt of wanting little man out and being exhausted from the amount of things that are happening during this pregnancy. I am so hard on myself but I find solace in the fact that I have handled this situation with understanding and determination; what mother wouldn't? I tell myself "one day at a time" or as on Finding Nemo "just keep swimming" and rely on close friends and family for that extra boost of support. I am holding out and taking it as easy as I can but as some symptoms and pain decrease, others ramp up their efforts which are a normal part of pregnancy. I have a list of complaints but I will save it for those unsuspecting sympathetic ears. --Yes,...

Pregnant AGAIN with Sickle Cell Disease

One thing that my good friends and family know about me is that I am amazingly stubborn. I like to think that this is a particularly amazing characteristic that I have which has enabled me to remain motivated and tackle obstacles against all odds. And those odds are definitely stacked against me. I am currently 24 weeks pregnant with my second child 😨 I know what you’re thinking. Didn’t I learn my lesson the first time? The short answer is yes...and no. So maybe there is no short answer. But I do know that individuals with sickle cell disease and other chronic illnesses have the same human urges to procreate. I'm not saying everyone desires to be a parent, but generally, we have similar wants, needs, goals and dreams as healthy people. I've accomplished a lot in my short time on this Earth and I am so proud of me for hanging in there through some tough situations. But maybe you don't know about those? Okay, I'll tell you. I wasn't diagnosed with Sickle Cell D...
