Izabella June Update

Well its been almost a yr now since my baby girl has been born. She will be turning one on the 26th of June. Man oh man, where does the time go? I can remember the day that I found out I was pregnant with her like it was yesterday. I was actually going in for some tests to see what was causing my miscarriages, and when the tech did the ultra sound, she looked at me and asked is it possible you could be pregnant? I responded, it is possible, but i dont think i am. The doctor confirmed it with blood work, and I was instructed a week later that if I wanted this baby to survive, that I would have to go on heprin and baby asprin (blood thinner), I told the doctor that I refuse to go on any drugs that could have an effect on my baby. So after leaving the doctors office I prayed and prayed, god please guide me in making the right medical decission. When I got home I told Nate that I was diagnosed with a blood clot disorder and the doctor said if we want this baby to stay, we would have to go on heprin and baby asprin. His exact words were "HELL NO", So nate and I did our research on what we could do instead of heprin and asprin, and found out the stuff that we all have been taking, called Juice Plus, is something that can help in my situation, plus if i increased my green vegetables and fruits that would help to. So that is exactly what I did. About a few weeks later i seen a high risk ob/gyn and he was looking over my paper work and explained it to me, and said normally in your situation you would have to go on heprin and asprin, but I am more about all natural, so i am going to recommend this stuff called Juice Plus, I got so excited and said that is awsome because i am already on that and have been on it, plus i am increasing my greens and eating more fruits, especially berries. He said well in that case lets retake your blood work and see where we are at. So we did and they was no sign of ever having a blood clot disorder, I was amazed.
After all this, all the fun started. I was sick as hell, trying to hide it from family and friends, and because i live in a state that is hot, I went to the hospital for dehydration a couple of times, thinking that i was miscarring,but nope, just dehydration.
Then our little princesses decided that she wanted to come early at 28weeks. So I was in and out of the hospital from 28weeks on, on bedrest off bedrest, then on STRICT bedrest until 37.5 weeks, and we had her at 38weeks weigh in at 7pounds 1.5 ounces 18"long.
So we went from them telling me if I dont take drugs that my baby would never make it, to a baby that started completely walking on May 24th to cutting 4 teeth on june 3.
You see doctors are so in a hurry to prescribe drugs and such, that if people do their research alot of illnesses and cancers can be prevented if you eat the color of the rainbow every day a serving of 7-13 of each fruits and veggies. If you would like more info on Juice Plus go to www.juiceplus.com/+nt82510. Its all natural and has been proven to help prevent things and some people have come off their diabetes meds, blood pressure meds, so on and if not completely off then on a lower dose, after starting juiceplus.
