Hi! How did everyone sleep? I'm about to go to bed now, I've been so exhausted and have to take the chance to sleep when I can. Saw my chiropractor today and he said my body was so tweaked and locked up! No wonder I've been feeling crappy. He fixed me up good and I feel so much better. I think I'll sleep better tonight, my body is so much more relaxed. The cramps and loose BM's are gone, now it's just back to MAJOR bloated and gassy! Everything I eat tends to sit in my stomach and stay there. It's like, I get really hungry and then once I eat I stay full for a while. And then the gas pains-- the worst!!! As far as emotions, I am sooo sensitive to everyone and if someone has an attitude with me about something it really bothers me so much that I want to cry. I'm normally sensitive and take things personally, but now it's over the top!
About telling people, my feeling is that sometimes it's easier to tell strangers than it is to tell people close to you. I've ended up telling more strangers than I have family and friends-- I have so many doctors and professionals I see (acupuncturist, naturopath, etc) so of course I need to tell them. And then others in the office find out. But then you know that the news won't likely spread from there! The only people close to me that know are my hubby and 2 close friends... Plan on telling my mom soon though. But I don't really want to tell any other family members just yet, there is just too much of a emotional connection and chance for gossip. But, even so, I wouldn't worry too much about it-- if people know, they know.
Munchkin- Do you think you might be able to tell your boss? He might have a little more compassion and understand why you've been more emotional lately? If you don't know him very well, it might be even easier? You can just ask him to keep it to himself, and he probably won't really care about telling anyone anyway. Sometimes keeping something so monumental like this inside just creates this huge bubble that you feel is about to burst-- in the form of crying, bitching, frustration, you name it! As I'm slowly telling people (no matter who they are) I feel like I'm letting a little air out each time-- decompressing-- and I feel better. And it's all settling in and becoming more real.
Well, I'm off to bed for the night. Hope all you ladies have a lovely day tomorrow, and hoping things just continue to get better!
bump buddies and soon to join us ladies!
made me feel better actually to know the real rates aren't as bad as I thought! 
darling,
