I'm feeling really emotional today, the last day of 2012. What a whirlwind of a year its been. This time last year is when I started to put on the water weight - gaining about 16 lbs in 2 1/2 weeks. I found out I had kidney disease in mid-January, had a biopsy January 31st, diagnosed with FSGS a few weeks later & started Prednisone March 6th. I was in complete remission by early June, relapsed in late July, started Cyclosporine September 12th & was done with Prednisone on October 18th. I gained 16 lbs on Prednisone & found out in November that I should not have more children.
That is why I haven't blogged. All I've ever wanted to be in life was a mom. Never, at any point, did I think I was done having children. I knew the instant that I heard Max cry for the first time that I had to do it again.
I cried the day I had my appointment with Dr. A (my MFM dr) but really have felt a lot of peace since. I've had my sad moments but I'm doing ok.
Since I found out, I have put a lot of energy into clearing out all of the baby stuff (the space feels good!) & taking control of my life & health. I cut out sugar, I work out like a crazy person & I've lost 11 lbs & am back in my old clothes. I found out about my new job with BYU-I right after the other news & felt the Spirit whisper that the timing was no coincidence; this is just one way my Heavenly Father is taking care of my heart.
I have big plans for 2013. 2012 brought me a lot of trials & more hard days than I ever want to have again. But it also brought me a lot of blessings. I have a wonderful husband, 3 gorgeous, healthy, smart, loving children, I have the Gospel, I have fantastic friends, a supportive family & I have the drive to be as healthy as I can be for as long as I can be. I am in control of my life. Its going to be a great year.
Sayonara 2012! Bring it on 2013!

Thanks for the update. So sorry about your news in november. When you are told you can't or shouldn't...that is never fun news to hear. We aren't having anymore either and it is nice getting rid of things and not hanging on to clothes. And that is awesome about weight loss. It is so hard. I gained lbs over the weekend just cuz I didn't work out. It will take me 2 weeks to lose those 3lbs if I can. I hate weight and it makes it more difficult with meds and another things so good job. Happy new year
You're going to kick it this year!
Thanks for blogging again. I came across your blog late last year after googling whether it was normal for hair to fall out while tapering off prednisone! Your blog has not only been a really awesome source of information, its been heartning to know there are other women that are going through the same thing. I was diagnosed with primary FSGS in August last year after an initial misdiagnosis of Minimal Change Disease. Keep blogging, it gives me encouragement and hope. Best of luck to you and happy new year x
