Where are you located again?

Ft Lauderdale here... 2.1 miles from the Beach...

Parenthood CAN be daunting.... but I have really lightened up ALOT ...

especially having had a preemie and now my baby is almost 2 and we are still

dealing

with " preemie " issues..

For me it just got easier to go with the flow.. UNLESS of course I am

fighting for Services for Noah's delays...

Then I am a mommy maniac..

This pregnancy I have no expectations... and hoping not to be disappointed.

I was crushed when I had to leave the hospital after giving birth WITHOUT a

baby....

I didn't get my water birth... I didn't get the breastfeeding I so wanted...

and of course we underwent a financial OOPS....

I had planned to go back to work and Noah would have only been in daycare for

4 hours .. 3x a day with my schedule and hubby's schedule.

Noah's early birth and health demanded no daycare for the first year... and

by the time I paid for a Nanny... it wasn't worth the few extra hundred dollars.

I must say.. even tho Noah has some very challanging days.. he is the light

of my life and I wouldn't change a thing

Thanks, . This 1st timer lives for crossing all the t's & dotting

all the i's. I ~try~ to be as interactive with the docs, kinda sorta

testing them to see if we're compatible. Life has taught me that I

can't be a " yes " patient, lots of times I bring in med literature for

us to review, etc. I'm not the type to let go of the reigns, perhaps

a defect, but oh well, hehe.

Anyway, dh & I have dreamed of this bb since we met 4+ years ago, so

I'm 99% excited & the other 1% I'm daunted! Parenthood seems like a

giant challenge, plus there's trillions of decisions/arrangements to

make. ...Still haven't ironed out the ~length~ of my maternity leave

etc etc.

How are you? Let's see if Hurr Frances decides to visit us....
