Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards

Michelle,
You brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for being honest with yourself and the board and your Doctor. You won't regret it and it is a hard cycle to break. Sounds like you have yourself a good support system and that is great!! Big cheers to your Husband for taking that scale away!!

Having three kids in less than four years is hard work and to be in a new place doesn't make it easier. I was there four years ago with a baby, 1 1/2 year old and three year old. We moved to Austin, TX for three years and our family was all in WI. I understand it feels really lonely. Look for a local MOP'S (mothers of preschoolers) in your area. You can find a location by going to MOPS.org. It was a lifesaver for me in TX. The group is probably finishing up, but ask them if they have play groups you can get involved in for the summer. You need adult time with other moms. Also if you can find a babysitter through your church have a sitter come one day a week for a morning or afternoon so you can get away for time just for you.
Hope this helps. Hugs to you and I will keep praying for you.

Barbara
