Hi Ladies!!! How are you doing??

Hi! Pretty good this week. Work with s super busy but dh is picking up some of the slack at home. We've decided on a new car and a way to afford it now without having to worry about a monthly payment or use too much over the insurance payout. We'll see how well that works once we get the actual number, but I am so relieved to jot have to buy a crappy used car to drive my kids around in. How are you?

I'm doing great. My sister is responding to fertility treatments! So please keep her in your prayers. She's been trying to conceive since last January. She's been through a miscarriage and a pcos diagnosis. The first round of fertility drugs didn't work at all then she had a cyst that took 2 months to go away. She deserves to be a mom and I'm praying this works out for her!

@Mztwilson praying for your sister.

I am doing better this week. I keep bickering with my SO and I have no idea why. It's not good. I am meeting with my hr dept tomorrow to come up with an exit plan for my job and I think that will really help my overall anxiety.

I have been doing better... Kind of.. I lost 6 of the 19lbs I gained which isnt good for my current height and weight.. (Reason I had to gain the weight in the first place) and obviously didn't gain the additional 2lbs from the last time I saw her. I see my nutritionist tomorrow and I am pretty nervous about what she will say about the weight loss. BUT I honestly feel so much better about myself with the weight loss. Its not my low weight, but I am content being here until the baby grows more.
My doctor prescribed me 20mg Prozac, which I am thrilled about. i was on it a couple years ago and just love it, so i was glad to go back on that and not another brand. Its only been a week and typically takes about 2 weeks to get it in your system, so hopefully once that happens.. The weight gain wont be so much of a fear factor and my depression will get under better control.

I am glad everyone for the most part has been doing better this week! Dont forget if anything pops up between today and next wed, just search the thread for Support Check In and let it all out so you aren't holding it in!!!

I am a hot mess today. My doctor, like all the others in the area, requires yo to pay their delivery fee in advance. Fine, except they don't report it to the insurance company till post-delivery. I have almost met my deductible by paying them. If I were to get credit, it would mean I didn't have to pay $800+ for my one month supply of blood thinners. But, I don't. So I get to pay $800 for the meds and keep paying my doctor till they can re-run my insurance and then sit around waiting for a refund check. I can't afford to wait for a refund. I need money NOW. The stress of this is making me binge eat and I really need to be fatter like I need another hole in my head. I just hate insurance.

@KrystaJ I'm happy that you have found a support system that works for you. Having people understand the specific situation you are in is so, so helpful.

@Mrs Case I'm so sorry financial troubles suck. I know what your going through.

I had been having a very emotional day, which now has just turned to being tired.  Part of my anxiety is obsessive compulsive thinking where I will get stuck on some sort of thought process (usually irrational and negative and really not nearly as big of a deal in real life as it is in my head) and that spirals to guilt…was having a bit of that last night over something completely unfounded and ridiculous.  It will be good to sort through it in therapy next week.  I keep hoping for a time when I don't NEED to go to therapy; don't get me wrong- I really like it, but with all the pregnancy appointments I have and how far everything is (therapist is 30 minutes each way), it is just one more thing to have to work out going to with babysitting.  But it is important and my therapist is great.

@mztwilson I wish nobody could empathize. Once upon a time i considered us middle class but it seems no matter how responsible we are, we get spanked. I mean, compared to the rest of the world we live like kings so i am eternally thankful, it is just daunting to see piles and piles of bills. good thing we are good at juggling! it could totally be worse and it felt good to whine/vent. back to being grateful.

I've finally been feeling better this week! I had started my 25mg of Zoloft and it didn't feel like it was doing enough. I started on 50mg and after a few days it really seemed to make a difference! And I was really encouraged that it didn't make me feel ill again. Hooray for everyone that's been feeling better! And T&P's to everyone who needs em!

I am so glad that I found this thread... Sometimes I wonder how I'm able to hold it together because I never know who to talk to. This past week has been especially difficult, as I lost my grandpa on Tuesday. I felt like I was just coming to terms with the idea that he wasn't going to be around when baby is born, and now he's gone. We have a close family so this is very difficult, although I'm glad he's no longer suffering. The house we're renting (and was for sale) has a bid on it, but we have no idea where they are in the process and have no idea if the new owners will allow us to keep living here or not. I hate living in limbo and not knowing if I have a place to live or not in the next few months. We moved to the area in May because my husband had gotten let go from his job and I had just graduated and got offered this job. Unfortunately, he hasn't been able to find a position in his field and has been working a temp. PT position in which his hours just got cut. We don't live above our means, but month to month can be a struggle sometimes. We're saving for a house, but without him having a FT job, we're afraid we might not be able to keep up with everything involved with buying and moving. We are trying to be as fiscally responsible as possible, but it seems like we just can't seem to catch a break. He stresses all the time about making money and having enough when baby comes, that I have to be the strong one... But sometimes I need to be the one that breaks down. Although this pregnancy has not been awful, I have still struggled with my anxiety and PGAL brain. I realize that so many of you are going through so much more, so thank you for letting me get this all out. I believe things will work out, it's just so hard to see sometimes.
