    need support

    I am expecting child #2 in July. I am a professional in a field where the more years you take off, the harder it is to get back into it. I went to school for 9 years and have a loan that will take 30 years to pay off. The loan is as much as a expensive car payment. We have credit card debt as...

    update

    Thanks so much for prayers. It looks like a miracle is happening. I went for an ultrasound a few days ago and my sac may have resealed. My amniotic fluid level is normal and the baby is doing well. It is just so strange because my water did break. The chance of resealing that quickly is really...

    wondering...

    It seems there are not a lot of postings lately. Is this because it's winter and we are in the dreary, depression times? I moved back to WA state from a more sunny area and this stinks. My bipolar SAD is back rearing it's ugly head! I don't see how this weather can not affect people!! I saw 5...

    Please Pray

    I am very excited! I am pregnant. I have posted on here before stating that I am in a very high stress job, have a three year old, and wanted to go part time.
