Hello everyone!
I have been lurking on the forums and blog for several weeks now. My name is Donna, but I used my Everquest character name. I am 33 years old and have been married to my husband for 11 years now. We have 3 children ages 9-d, 7-d, and 3-s.
We had to use fertility treatment with all 3 children. I was diagnosed with Polycystic Ovarian Disease. While trying to get pregnant the first time I ended up gaining a hundred pounds from all the treatments. I had been always over weight but now I am morbidly obese since I have not been able to lose the weight no matter what I try. Each pregnancy was difficult in some way for me, the deliveries where also rather complicated and came down either push the child out now or we are going in. Around a year after the birth of my second daughter I was diagnosed with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder and put on anti depressants. After my son was born I added postartum depression along with hypothyroidism. I am still currently taking an anti depressant but my thyroid has seem to have righted itself.
I was born and raised Catholic. I am not sure really what I am as far as religion goes now days. My daughters were baptized Lutheran, as that is what my husband is/was. My son has not been baptized at all. I feel rather odd about this fact, but then again we do not attend Church and my husband feels that it really does not matter. I feel like I am failing the kids some how by not attending church with them. I want them to discover their own beliefs that work the best for them, but if I do not provide some foundation to start that discovery am I not in fact saying this way is best? I do not know.
