Hi Guys!
My name is Shelley and I was an avid B&B user while TTC my daughter and throughout the entire pregnancy, Now I'm back!
Isobel is only turning one this Friday, but hubby and I have decided to start trying in February, when she will be 1 year & 3 months. Reasoning for this being that I don't want any less than 2 years between them!
I had a pretty hard time with PND after Isobel was born, and not a lot of support around me. Daniel didn't get time off work (jerk boss), only 2 days a week for 3 weeks. My parents lived interstate at the time, and I didn't really have any friends nearby. I had to go on medication when she was 8 weeks, but I was only on it for one month or so when my doctor began weaning me off it and since then I have been ok
Since Isobel, my parents have moved a lot closer - 1 & a half hours drive - and are planning to move even closer as my Dad got a job in our city! I joined a mother's group when Issy was about 10 weeks old and we have become great friends! The Mum's are all gorgeous and it's great to have our bubs growing up together! So I do feel that I'm in a better position emotionally to cope with a newborn and a toddler. (Call me crazy! hehe )
I am not on the pill, though I was for one month leading up to our wedding which was September 21st of this year. Today I got a blood test checking my Vitamin D & Iron etc (when I was pregnant with Issy I was deficient in both of these).
I feel a lot more prepared this time.. With Isobel we were so lucky to be trying for only 3 months before we conceived, but I didn't have bloods done before, and I was very impatient! This time I feel more calm, like it will happen when it's supposed to
I look forward to sharing my journey with you ladies, and meeting you all (electronically)
