| 6 wks & 4 days
I went back to the Doctor's yesterday and spoke to him about how I'd had loads of side-effects to the medication I was on and how everything's gotten a hundred times worse over the last couple of weeks. He's put me on another anti-depressant (Citalopram - Celexa/Cipramil) and I have to go back next Wednesday for a follow-up to make sure I get on okay with these ones.
Money is incredibly tight at the moment. Our finances are going to crap and I've got people on my back hassling me for money. I hate owing people/companies money; I've managed to pay everyone apart from my gas & electricity bills. I'm going to have to go back to work in the new year, we don't have any choice financially.
Today was a really good day. Aaron's sister came round this morning with her little girl, Abigail, and we all went up to the Drop-In Clinic to get Amy & Abi weighed. I can't believe how much Amy is now! She's 10lbs 10oz! :D
I've been tidying the house a lot lately. Partly because I can't stand the mess but mainly because when my mind seems to be everywhere I try and get everything around me in order and under control. Whatever reason, the house looks much better :)
I'm trying to reply to you all and keep up with what's going on in your worlds. Sorry if I don't reply very quickly. I'm on Facebook quite a lot, feel free to add me on there...the link is at the side.

Everything was fine.
And then it fell apart.
And now I don't know where I am.
Or where we'll go from here.

Sorry it's been so long since I've been on here, I've been pretty busy with Amy & everything.
Amy's been sleeping so much better through the nights, she sleeps about 5hrs before wanting a feed/change. & she did her 1st proper smile today!! :D
Monday was a scary day. I was burping Amy after her feed in the Dining-Room, looked up and there was a mouse in the Kitchen!! I ran to get a box or something to put on it and trap it but when I came back I couldn't find it anywhere. It's creeping me out that I don't know where it's gone, I'm so nervous and jumpy. We put humane traps down around the whole house. None of them have caught it and there's no sign it's still here so I'm hoping it went out under the backdoor. Gah, I guess this is one of the problems with living in an old house.
My Mum came round on the Monday to help with Amy, help me tidy up and plant my Winter hanging-basket. And after the mouse incident I've turned into a complete cleanfreak so I spent the rest of the day sorting the house out.
Yesterday was pretty uneventful. I started taking my Sertraline again and remembered why I stopped before; feeling like I'm right about to be sick, physically shaking, teeth chattering and feeling really weak and 'out of it.' I'm not taking them again, I need to ask my Dr if I can go back on Fluoxetine...I didn't get anything like this when I was on it.
Today I'm probably going to go round to my Mum's for a bit. I find I get so fed up just sitting round the house looking after Amy with no-one to talk to properly. I love my Daughter and I love spending time with her but sometimes I need a break and a bit of conversation. Next week will be better, Aaron's cut his hours down so he's only working 3 days :)
A quick question to all the Mum's; Aaron & I had sex for the 1st time since delivery last week and I've been bleeding since. I think it might be my period but I'm on the contraceptive pill so shouldn't that stop it a bit? It's pretty heavy.
Sorry for the long post & I'll comment you all back soon, I promise!
