Hi, I've been posting a bit and just wanted to officially say hello and introduce myself. I'm a second-time July momma, due July 29. I have a 2-year-old son, born 7/11/11. Some facts about me: I'm from the midwest (Wisconsin). I'm 34, but will be turning 35 just before this little bean is born. I'm a writer, rescue dog owner, and Mad Men superfan (so sad that it is ending after the next season!)
I also am currently in the midst of a major house remodel and will be moving into the new place in February. My first novel is coming out in March. I might possibly be insane for trying to do this all at once, but my "WANT BABY NOW" hormones won out and I got my much-hoped-for BFP last week.
Baby-related stuff: we're a cloth diapering family. I also suffer from depression & anxiety and was on Zoloft throughout my first pregnancy and while breastfeeding DS. I'm still on it and planning to be throughout this pregnancy. I'm always happy to answer questions or just be a sounding board for anything related to that stuff, since I know I had a lot of questions first time around.
I'm enjoying getting to know you ladies so far. You're a sassy and hilarious bunch.
Welcome and congrats! A novel how exciting! We have boys close in age, my DS is 7-9-11 and this baby is due 7-24-14. I am a clinical social worker so I work with clients that suffer from mental health issues. I am glad the Zoloft was helpful for you throughout your 1st pregnancy. Good luck with your pregnancy!
Hello! I just started on Zoloft last week and anxiously awaiting some result. Any advice on what to except or coping method advices, anything really. First time mom here if ya can't tell
