Re: new to the group/rachel

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Thanks for the welcome!

I have remission periods too but seem to be in another flare the past

few days. Mine seems to flare with stress and over doing it. I have

an older son Cameron age 9 from a previous marriage, then my daughter

Finley age 3. Everyone thinks I'm crazy for having any children with

all these issues. I would not be able to do it if not for my husband.

He is really my wife. You gotta love a man that loves to do the

dishes! I'm on a bit more pain meds then with my daughter so we will

see how that affects the baby. I'm due July 29th and will have a c-

section around the 21st. All seems well with baby according to

ultrasounds. Thanks again for the welcome!
