Sorry its been a while!!!
Sorry its been so long!!!!
As I mentioned in a previous post, I am pregnant, going into my ninth month (thank goodness lol because I dont know how much longer I can last!) and between the normal pregnancy stuff, the gestational diabetes stuff, and the complications arising from bipolar and fibro during pregnancy, I have just been overwhelmed!
At any rate, I’m back now, and getting ready to post some new videos! Look for them very soon, possibly this weekend if I find the time.
So, onto news…
We found out I’m having a GIRL! Sky was so very excited and happy that I am finally giving her a sister lol. Correy and I cant wait to meet our little one either. She’s done a number on me the last few weeks, I swear she kicks harder than the older two ever did. I have had a rough time also with the gestational diabetes this time around. I failed the one hour test, then could not make it through the three hour test, so I am stuck checking my sugar four times a day. Its not bad, the only thing that ties me up is soda… but I have managed to find a balance, I have cut way down but still have a few a day. I am also not gaining alot of weight with this one, even though I honestly feel like a cow. I am gaining but its all baby, and now I am concerned about her getting too big. I had both my other kids early (36 & 37 weeks) and they both weighed over seven lbs, and Correy was over 9 lbs lol so I KNOW I want to deliver early! As soon as its safe of course.
I have other news as well. A few months ago I was contacted by Discovery Health, they are doing a show called “I’m pregnant and…” a six part series about women who are pregnant and suffer from something else, and they picked me to study and profile about being pregnant and having bipolar. Its been interesting, I love advocacy, and really feel like I am doing my part hopefully reaching and helping others. It won’t be on until winter, but I’ll keep you all posted!
I am doing ok on the no meds, or bare minimum meds I should say. Early on in pregnancy I halved my dose of percocet (they told me it was safe to take for the pain of fibro, I went off it mostly during the first trimester anyway, started taking it through the second trimester at half my dose then began only using it sporadically as needed) now I have weaned off it completely, not because I HAD to, but because I didnt want the baby to be born addicted to it. I am doing ok but there are definately times I NEED it, regular tylenol does NOTHING for me, and now they are lowering the limits on THAT even, but thats another rant for another day….
I am now off everything EXCEPT a small antidepressant, and I am worried about it not being enough to ward off the post pardum blues. I go see a psych doc on Friday, and I plan to discuss my treatment options as well as some possible strategies to help me sleep!
Now I am just waiting for my sweet little baby to arrive! I hope she gets here quickly, my back is killing me and I havent slept in weeks!!
Other than that, I don’t have much news. I miss my babies 
I visit them every month and treasure my time with them, and my nightly phone calls, but I cant go down there now until after the baby arrives (another reason I am rather impatient about her arrival lol) and I miss the kids so much!!! I cry every night now, I cant wait to introduce them to thier sister!!!!
Thats it for now gang, much love and you will be seeing and hearing more from me soon!
