Glad I could be of some help. That's one of the reasons I post here. :D (that, and because I love these guys for some reason. ;) ) Good luck!!

I only remember the trach tube from my first OHS (not valve). It was a miserable experience. Any time I thought about it, I would choke. My DH (boyfriend at the time) had to remind me repeatedly to breathe. And yes, my hands were tied down. I hated that. I just wanted to point to the *(&%...

You are just a tad bit nuts. :rolleyes:

Welcome, Megan. I know exactly what you mean about blocking out the bad parts. I've got very fuzzy memories of most of my 19 surgeries (only 2 open heart, though)! Glad to have another ACHDer here! :D

Hee hee! Did you read the whole thread? ;) We're closer to the finish line than I ever thought possible!! :D Also, we're heading to OK this morning for a 3D/4D ultrasound! Going to see if LD's guess of Lucas looking like Nathan and Kyla looking like me is correct. She was correct about...

Wow. You must have had a lot of time on your hands. ;) Thank you very much. We truly have been blessed. And as much as I'd love to be able to be pregnant, I'm SO glad we are getting this experience. :D

Just wait until I post the 3D ultrasound pics we're getting on Wednesday! ;) You can see the babies' cubby cheeks. :D

Believe me. It's going by fast for me too! I feel like I missed the first half of the pregnancy because of all the surgeries I had. Suddenly we're way more than half way there and I'm not ready! :eek:

And here's Baby 2:

You tell me. ;) Here's Baby 1:

And here's Lucas Grey:

Here's Kyla Rose:

For those of you who don't read my blog... We got a surprise on Wednesday when we went for our level II ultrasound. Turns out that "Jade" is looking a bit more like a Lucas Grey instead. ;) I'll post pics in a second.

Congratulations! We will be welcoming our twins within the next 15 weeks. I'll be looking to you for advice before you know it!

Thanks! I just went and read the whole thing. They are adorable!!! I can't wait to have similar posts on my blog. :D

Oh, don't go judging IUDs by my experience. I always make things more complicated than they need to be. :p But if you are going to get one, I suggest the Minerva (I think that's what it's called). The one with hormones. 'Cause this copper one I have causes heavier bleeding. :p The other one...

Effective, sure. Spontaneous, no. We're not real good about "scheduling" sex. It happens when it happens.

Thanks. Not sure what I did... but thanks. ;)

I was taking blessed thistle, fenugreek, and goat's rue. The OB made copies from her PDR, but there was nothing specific about heart/rhythm issues. So who knows! As for the raincoat, we're willing to do that, but it has a much lower effectiveness rate than the IUD. :( Plus, it's not as much...

I would consider it (or a partial hysterectomy, actually), but I think it would be hard to convince my OB to operate on me. ;) I have been amazed at what I've accomplished in just the 3 weeks I've been pumping. Today I may even top the 3 oz mark! (for the whole day, not a single pumping, yet)
