Going to the docs today. I am sick of being sick. I don't like getting my period every 2 wks, dealing with the pain of ovarian cysts every 2 wks and feeling like someone has beaten me. I need to get myself fixed. I'm scared about what the doc may say but I need to know how to fix myself. I've been on BCP for 7 years now and I want to get off of ( Read more... )

That's right...Alex slept 8 hrs solidly last nite!! I slept 6, although not as solidly because out of habit I was up every few hours to make sure he was still breathing. At least I didn't have to physically get out of bed, he slept in my bed which is probably why he didn't wake up. Mommy was there the whole time. I really needed that! Maybe Aaron ( Read more... )

So here's what we know...

Dr. Mello finally took her down at around 6:30pm. It worked out (the delay) as ( Read more... )
