This one has nothing to do with transplants or pregnancy!

OK, so my new obsession to forget about every stress in my life is Big Brother: All Stars. I have watched other shows, but never got obsessive about it, they were cool but no big deal. This year I am nuts over it. Love it, love it, love it. I have never seen so many disfunctional people in my life. I could never be on a show like that ever because I hate living drama, but I love watching drama. Reality TV makes me feel so great about myself, my problems... nothing compared to what these people have going on. Kaysar is my pick to win, he is sincere and seems pretty honest, but I have always been a Dr. Will lover so I wouldnt be sad to see him stay for awhile.

This kind of sucks! Stay positive!

Ok, so my transplant doctors have switched my medications. I was previously on Rapamune 2 mg, and they have switched me to 5 mg Prograf. All the side effects from the Rapa are gone (joint pain, digestive problems, ect.) but I have been getting severe migraines. The kind that make you sick to your stomach and sensitive to light. I am trying to stay positive and hopefully it will slowly get better. I just keep telling myself it is worth it. " You can do it!"

Everything else is goind well though, no problems. We are just getting anxious to be able to start trying for baby. :) My husband Dan takes that job very seriously. ;) I just hope it doesnt take too long after we start trying.

First Post

Hello, My name is Rebecca. I am starting this blog to be able to release some of the stresses and frustration I have had, and also to document my journey thru the pre-pregnancy, pregnancy, and post pregnancy. I had my kidney transplant on 2/26/02. I have just gotten the go ahead from the doctors to start trying for a baby. I am 28, and my husband is 30, so it is time. Getting pregnant after my transplant probably wont be easy. I know this and accept it. But I really want to try. Being a mother is so important to me.
