Sorry I have been away ...

and not my happy cheery self ...I know I haven't been around much. I been feeling moody and tired and run down, I thought with today being 1 yr anniversary of my mom passing that maybe that is what was effecting me. I got a call yesterday because I had blood work done the day before...Turns out it's not depression, well not all of it...Santa brought us a baby this year,yep you heard right...a baby. We are due the first week of September Merry Christmas. Shel

Congrats, Shel! Hubby was away and came back and man do you two work fast!!! Your hormones will be working overtime from here on out. Your levels will be doubling daily...Make sure you're taking ALL of your vitamins. I'm so happy that you're healthy for this pregnancy. Will you have to go off any of your meds? I took Zoloft and small amounts of Ativan throughout both of my pregnancies...If I didn't, I would have had two miserable pregnancies being in bed all the time not being able to handle life. Having kids was the best thing I did for myself and my mental health. It took the focus off of "me" and I grew up A LOT! Again...congrats. Any questions...just ask. Join an online forum for the month of your due date...I was part of one for five years. It was great! Paula

Mornin Paula, To be honest I kinda didn't expect it to work this fast...hehe I guess after being told for 20 yrs I couldn't have kids I just sort of expected in the back of my mind for it not to work. As far as the meds go , The pcp's office said they don't think I can have the atavan and no more lasix or clor con , and the councling people said Atavan should be okay if I take it only as needed for the tough panic attacks. Thanx I'm sure I'll be asking a whole lot of questions. Shel

Shel, Im so happy for you. Boy you worked fast at this !!!!!! My grandaughter was born !!! She is a beauty,,,,, Your going to make a wonderful mom.. I am so happy things are going your way.. You deserve all of this and so much more. Your a wonderfulyoung lady. We will be here for you all th way/ Love Barb

Thank you Barb, A beauty huh? She must look just like her grandma then Looks like we both got what we wanted for Christmas. It's a wonderful feeling to know so many people care so much for this baby already and he/she is only the side of a sesame seed. Hugs, Shel

Congratulations to you and hubby... You will be riding a roller coaster of emotions from now on. Take care of yourself... Sandy

Thank you Sandy, Although I so dislike roller coasters I am looking forward to this ride I have to take care of myself ,If I don't I have a whole line of people waiting to kick my but..hehe Hugs, Shel

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Wonderful news!!

Thank you Pam I think the best part of it so far was that I spent the 22nd of Dec hearing all day how wonderful it was that we were having a baby and not how sad it was my mom had been gone a year, and although I did hear it, It didn't seem so hard to take. Hugs Shel

I know how you feel. When I lost my mom it crushed me. I never got to say goodbye. She was so healthy and out going and beautiful. She died in her sleep at the age of 58 there was no cause of death. They could not find out what killed her. That pain of losing her will live in me forever. I never lost anyone real close. And it was devastating for my whole family. We never seen it comming Time heals all . But you never forget. Merry Christmas sweet Heart take care of that baby. Love Barb
