A description is never as telling as getting to KNOW someone...but I consider myself fiercely intelligent, inquisitive, insightful, passionate, intolerant of ignorance and injustice, very loving, very impatient, insecure, somewhat funny, biologically adequate, moderately alluring.

Pre baby blues?

so i'm ready to admit this morning that i'm depressed. moderately down in the dumps. i've been trying to figure out why...and trying to attribute it to a lot of external factors like tony not being as into this pregnancy as the last two...being stuck home with the boys all day making me crazy...but I think, no, I KNOW the real reason is because of my health. I was insane to get pregnant when I did, and now i'm paying for it with ridiculous weight gain, swelling, headaches, and enough insulin for a nursing home full of diabetics. My spd is worse than ever, my back is a mess, even the slightest household chore is mindbendingly difficult. And the guilt is overwhelming. I keep reliving the first scary week of Nicky's life, and wondering how I could endanger another innocent baby.

Every morning i wake up and think, today i'll get up and take a walk with the boys, and it'll help my sugars, i'll be able to back off the insulin, and maybe i'll stop gaining so much. But every morning it's all i have to get down the stairs with the boys. Yesterday I sewed the massive curtain partition for the nursery and i was a mess the rest of the day with hip and back pain.

I just pray every day that God doesn't make this baby suffer for my selfishness.

oh, btw, if you're going to comment simply to bash my choices, go elsewhere, I don't need your sunshine.
