When I don’t blog for a long time, I’m usually having a great time and too busy to post or I’m having a rough time and I just can’t bring myself to write about it. This past week’s been a little of both.
I had fun running our Elementary School Fundraiser all last week, in the school 4 of the 5 days last week and then had family in town over the weekend.
Then the past few days I’ve been having a rough time. I’ve written about it [over at parenting.]
Kathryn, you’re in my thoughts and prayers. I think of you often lately as my husband and I start to realize that the time to start our family is moments from arriving. I am thrilled and exhilarated and terrified. I read what’s going on next with my favorite “mommy bloggers” and I wonder if I am strong enough.
Your honesty and obvious strength are very inspiring.
Hey, K!
I’m praying for you. The hormones make us feel like our misery is based in reality, but it isn’t. You ARE incredibly thankful for your children and all of your blessings. You’re also a great mom. That is what’s true. What’s going on with you chemically right now distorts reality. This is temporary and it WILL pass. Hang in there, girl!
After reading this post, I, too, want to cry! Pregnancy brings out so much craziness. I wanted to add here that after my #2, I discovered I have an allergy to one of my hormones. It was causing depression, mood swings, and all sorts of other lovely symptoms. I also burn B12 like crazy–and when my levels are low, I have greater anxiety and cry all the time. Now that I know what to avoid, (and what to supplement), my moods are greatly improved and I can actually handle life again. I am completely amazed by the difference in my life. I know that this doesn’t mean those things will help you, but I thought I’d add in my two cents just in case it could somehow help. I hope you have had happy days since this post!
Holy CRAP-AN-OLLIES!!
I have been thinking about you and your little family for the past couple of days now. I haven’t been blogging near like I used-ta-could.
First off congrats on being preggers!! I have to go back and see if it is a girl or boy…. and man…. I know about the crying and can’t stop episodes. For us, three really is the new six 🙂 We think…..
Second your broken brain is like my “good day” functioning one so welcome to my world 🙂 Sorry, you won’t be staying permanently :)….. We’ll take you while we’ve got ya. My favorite is while crying something funny happens, issuing in the laugh cry combo. Good times.
Dang, I have a lot to catch up on!! Last time I was reading about you working out and how strong you felt! I have been jumping out of bed at 6 am to get that feeling you talked about then. I am feeling the benefits now and it is awesome!
Can’t wait to hear how things are going. Hang in there mama!
