Just an Up Date

So I know that it's been a super long time since I've been on here... I've been trying to get back into school, working, and taking care of my son.  Among all of that I'm batteling PPD, which I have reluctenly gotten' help with.  They put me on Cymbalta and it seems to be working alot better... I'm not as depressed and I'm not as anxious!  Thank god... cuz I thought that I was going crazy for a while.  Any who I'm happy now and I'm more level in my moods... I'm also taking melitonin to help me sleep at night, which is by far amazing, I've never had a better nights sleep, not to mention a full night of sleep.  haha

Any who Owen is almost 8 months old!!  Wholy cow, how time flys!?  I feel like I should still be prego... and well I think about it 24/7 now, but I know that I want to finish school and I couldn't do that being pregnant so we are waiting for a while to start trying again.  Owen started saying "da-da" about a month and a half ago and two or three weeks ago he started saying "ma-ma" and within the past few days he started to put them together and say "ma-ma-- Da-da."  It's super cute!!!  Ummm... he started rolling over about two months ago and there is nothing stopping him... he's crazy I always find him in goffey positions in his bed and IDK how he get's himself into-- example today I went in there to get him up and well he had one of his arms all the way out of his sleves and was sideways, uncovered, and on the oppist end of the crib.  He hasn't started crawing yet, but I can only imagen within the next few weeks he will start that, and if he doesn't then he might actually walk first, because he's standing up and taking a few steps with me holding his hands.  He also hasn't started cutting teeth yet... he's got a few bumps, but nothing is white and I see no teeth in there.  I'm so happy and thankfull that we are progressing this quickly... or to me it's quickly, concidering just last year we were all prego at this time... LoL I find it funny to think back to how many fun and funny memeories we all have shared together!!  I'm I'm defintally sorry that I haven't been around lately... I've really had no time, and this site makes me want to have more babies... and well I don't like that idea... so I guess in a way I'm trying to distance myself from it all... but I'll try and cheek in more often now that Owen is getting bigger!!

So... this is really weird, but in Nov. 2009, I had an IUD put it, but recently (I just had my period) But I can almost swear I can feel something moving around inside of me, and it really freaked me out, I'm eating like a freaken cow all of a sudden as well... just like when I was prego... and well I'm freaking out... But deep down I know that it's nothing and that I'm not prego, but wholey cow I really swear there was something inside of me, the way Owen would kick and turn around... but it must have just been some poop moving through... lol I kno TMI but I thought I should share that...

Hey Sarah glad to hear from you, im glad all is going well with you, i no how your feel about the PPD, i had it about 2 months after having Trin,  then about 2 months ago i started feeling like my whole world was just crashing down on me, its awful to go threw those up and down emotions.  Tuesday i was in er and i no i had mastitis because i could not lift my right arm, but since i was running a temp of 103 they wanted to do blood work and xrays to make sure it was nothing else, that s hit is PAINFULLLLLLLLLLL, my boob got as big as Trinity's head in a matter of 5 hours ughhh, they gave me iv antibiotics it took some of the swelling down, im starting to feel better and my boob is still swollen but going down slowly.

Trinity has been crawling for about almost 3 months now, she has learned how to crawl up the stairs(time to get a gate now) i think she will be walking by 9 months, at daycare they put her on the side with the 1 and 2 year olds(i sorts dont like that) they say she likes being active with kids that move around since the kids her age dont crawl yet.  She has not teeth yet but can really eat:)  she will 8 months on the 18th of may.  

Time has really gone by and i miss all of you, it was fun, exciting, amazing and so on to share our pregancy journey together and it does seem just like yesterday we were preggo.  This site makes me want to have another baby to lol.  I am a single parent so i have decided that i am going to do foster care with the option to adopt.
