Re-Intro . . . Hello S13!

Hi Ladies,
I just wanted to reintroduce myself after taking a 2.5 month hiatus from the board. In early June I was hospitalized for pre-term labor and then put on bed rest at home. Baby ended up being fine, and I was taken off bed rest after a few weeks. However, reading/seeing things related to pregnancy gave me a lot of anxiety so I stopped watching shows, reading too many books, and participating on the boards. I felt better taking my pregnancy one day at a time and learning things on a need to know basis from my Dr. and weekly sections in my one pregnancy book. I don't know if I'm explaining this well. I guess I was just afraid (at the time) that I wasn't going to have a positive outcome with my pregnancy and I didn't want to think too far ahead.
Now that I have reached 37 weeks, I am feeling relieved and ready to participate again (if you'll have me). I am a teacher and just started back to school this week (excited to be back, but sooooooo tired!). DH and I are HS sweethearts who waited to start our family, and then had some fertility struggles. We are blessed to be expecting our first after 3 rounds of IUI. I am due on Sept. 16th.
Congrats to all of the mamas who have had their LOs already, and good luck to everyone who is still dealing with the many joys of being hugely pregnant.
