It's been a while.... was created by tigereyes
My has it been a long time. Well last time I was on here I had just had my baby. My counts held good for a year with no treatment. This past April I found out I was expecting again. I'm currently 20 weeks along with baby boy #2. Life has been chaotic this past year with having a toddler. Changing jobs and just going on with life.

This pregnancy just doesn't agree with platelets. I've been on steroids since I was 13 weeks due to my platelets being too low. Oh you know 7 and 5. I've already done 2 rounds of IVIG but baby boy is doing great. Me on the other hand I'm dying stressing about my counts. Miss you guys who are old timers.

Sandi I hate living by a number. But I have to. 60mg of prednisone is killing me. It's amazing how a little number can change so much. Miss you guys on here. How have you been? Your photography?

60 mg. would kill me too. Don't blame you there. Is it working at all?

Photography has been a little too busy. I can't keep up with it. I have a lot of seniors this season. I can't fit it in with my full time job and my lack of brain cells and energy. I really enjoy it but it's too taxing.

I'd love to see a new pic of Aiden when you get to it!

It is another boy. Logan Michael.

Aidens hair color is almost identical to mine. Gets redder every day. If I let it grow out it would get so much lighter.
