I'm doing great! I've been on Elavil for almost a year now and it has done wonders for my IBS. I've put on a few pounds which does wonders for my self image. I haven't been able to put on weight since I was pregnant 9 years ago I still think I'm too thin but I'm not near as self concious.
I'm glad you are enjoying Ollie. I bet he's a doll. You'll have to post some pics. I'd love to see him now. My favorite times in babyhood was like the 8th mth to 1 year. Then when they got out of diapers and I didn't have to grab that darn diaper bag everywhere we went. It was so nice to just up and go! You'll get to that point in a few years, unless of course you have another
So you want to go back to work? As much as I liked staying home the 12 weeks with both of mine, I shopped entirely too much. Luckily I was getting paid for maternity leave but I know if I quit work, I wouldn't have that income and I would probably go nuts knowing I couldn't shop! Sounds funny but it's the truth. I was never a "stay home full time mom". If I could have, I would have worked part time but that wasn't an option for me at my job. I don't regret it in any way as my boys turned out fine. Of course I had a relative watch them for the first 4 years so I was fortunate. But they each still went to daycare after school and summers. They are 13 and 10 now and are very responsible boys. I think kids that have working parents are almost forced to grow up a little faster
Glad the weight gain on Elavil has worked out for you... I'll consider that karma payback for the weight I gained I didn't need to on the drug (and the five months of weight watchers it took to get it off).
I am kind of back at work, he's in daycare two days a week so I have all day to write. And I'm working from home scoring undergrad application essays. I am definitely not a stay at home mom either. I appreciate the five days a week I have with him when I get two off.
