Hello all...its been a while...

Okay it has been a while since I have posted. Felicity is now nine months old and growing like a weed. She makes me happier than I have ever been!
Right after I had her I dropped all of the pregnancy weight and some of the extra pounds I had before getting pregnant. Since then my weight has crept back up. I am 30lbs overweight, I know it is mostly due to bad habits but I am having trouble getting the will power to break them. I am tired all of the time, it has been some time since I have been to a doctor but I don't seem to have the motivation or drive to find me a new doctor, make an appointment and go. I have been telling myself it is my work schedule and then taking care of Lissy all day that has me so worn out...but I don't think it is. The truth is I am afraid it is something worse...in which case I don't want to know. We already have enough sick people in my family, my mom is on short term disability due to fibromyalgia and sarcoidosis, and we just found out my brother has cancer.

Hi Lisa, I can't beleive she is going to be a year real soon!! Where does the time go?!?!?!?!?!
Willpower, it's a great concept huh? Sometimes, it feels like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I wish I could say something to help ya, hell if I had the answer, I'd be a millionaire. Don't be too hard on yourself, being a mommy isn't easy. Don't put off going to the doctor either. I know its scary, but Lissy needs her mommy, so you need to do everything in your power to stay healthy.....even if it means facing a scary health report.

You are right about facing scary health reports, I know I have to do it for Lissy's sake. I am going to make a doctors apointment asap. I am hoping that once my sister is back home she will help me by going and working out with me.
I can't believe she will be a year old soon either! She is getting so big, somtimes I miss the days when she was tiny and easy to handle. These days getting her dressed is a struggle because she wants to crawl all over the place and won't hold still. She is going to be tall, even though she is only nine months she wears eighteen month size pants because she is so tall!

How are things going for you?

wow, she is a big lil one!! i remember well, those days of learning how to grab ankles with one hand, with a grasp firm enough to restrain a squirming baby, all while wiping a poopy butt without getting it anywhere...mommy survival at it's best..LOL
