38 week 2 day appt.

I know you have to be so ready for Savannah to arrive!  I"m only 21 weeks and I"m exhausted and ready. :) 
Hang in there.  She'll be here before you know it.

I bet you are so ready!! I feel for ya!! Hope it all starts happening for you soon!!

Thank you, I am ready and anxious just not knowing how an infant and toddler will go....YIKES. Woman been doing this forever with way more babies than two I need a back bone...LOL

Trust me...you are going to be just fine with a baby and a toddler.  Now saying that...I'm not saying its going to be a walk in the park...LOL  At one time I had 3 under the age of 5..I thought I was going to pull my hair out when I found out I was pregnant again...LOL.. but it all worked out.  I am so proud of you that you are addressing your PP right away.  I think it helps to be proactive and not sit around and wait and see how things are going to turn out if you know you are already prone to depression.  

Good luck and I hope your sweet one gets here soon!

I am a social worker so I see mental illness daily. I refuse to let the depression rule my life, I want my kids to be happy and I DON'T ever act sad around them. I am glad someone is proud of me for being proactive, sometimes I feel like the only one with this problem but reading some posts here I see it is more common than I thought. My depression/anxiety is from childhood trauma but I have only figured this out the past few years, now I make sure to take care of it. How are you doing? Been able to keep your weight up, I seen a post that you have 8 children...YIKES your one brave mama.

Hey Vanessa!

Thanks for asking about my status.  I am really struggling with my weight right now.  We are getting ready to move so I am getting in way to much activity, so am not adding any pounds.  In fact I have lost 4...I was up to 107, now am at 103.  It's an uphill battle...that is for sure.  

As far as being brave...not really.  We take what God gives us...and after 3 or 4 you kind of stop counting...LOL  It does get a lot easier too...cuz the older ones get easier to take care of.
