So I was feeling pretty crappy for the last month or so. My nerves were a bit on the high side and it made me feel anxious. After going to the doctor last week I discovered that I really do have anxiety. So I have been taking medication for it and after just one week of it, I feel amazing. I haven't felt this good since before I gave birth to Evan. I am not all about taking medication, but man does this stuff really work. I don't feel scared or nervous anymore. I feel more alert and aware of what is going on. I really think that I am just functioning better in general. It makes me happy that I am feeling well enough to be the great mom that I always knew I would be. I wake up in the middle of the night to feed Evan and I am actually able to stay awake to feed him and interact with him while he is eating. I wake up in the morning with a smile and look forward to the day that is awaiting Evan and I. I have a whole new outlook on my future and the future of my family. I have a renewed sense of self and my place in this world. I realize now that my anxiety was being masked and that I have had it for a while but I was on such a "baby high" for the first couple of months that it just finally started showing itself. I am glad that I have such a great support system, my family is the best. I couldn't have gotten through these past 3 months without them. I am so excited for what is in store for my family and I can't wait for all of the memories we are going to make. :)
On a totally different note...My baby sister is getting MARRIED tomorrow! I couldn't be happier for her. We have been waiting for this day for her for a long time. Now that it is finally upon us, it is a bit surreal. :) I wish Andrea and Joe all the best. May you have many wonder-filled years together! :) I love you both! :)
