I'm still here

Hey YLF Family. I'm still around don't give up on me. I've gone back to lurking but I am still taking pictures and being fab. I'm taking a break from social media. Things have gotten overwhelming laterly. Lol oh boy.

I'm in my last week of my 1st Trimester things were a bit touch and go for a minute. I'm on a self imposed break but I'm reading your fab post inbetween long naps and eating 27 times a day and working my normal 10-12 hrs a day. Whew I'm sleepy just typing that.

One day I'm going to write a post about the reality of being a over 40 pregancy.

Anywho keep us in prayer if you pray and or send us positive energy. Thanks in advance.

When the doctors say rest, do it! I have friends who thought bed rest meant stay home and clean. Take care of yourself!

Nice to hear from you. Take good care of yourself and rest as much as you can. Pregnancy is hard work.

Sorry to hear it was touch and go. Pregnancy can be a very up and down time.

I'm echoing the part about taking care of yourself. This may not be everyone's opinion, but as my ob/gyn doctor said to me, your primary job right now is growing that baby. Rest as much as you can. Having a baby is tiring too.

Thanks for staying in touch. We care about you.

Sending you prayers and good energy.

So sorry to hear of the pregnancy dangers.

Do rest up! I remember coming home from work and sleeping for a couple of hours at stages in my pregnancy, and I was not 30! Doing it at our age (I think we are about the same) is tough, Hope Tem is taking care of you!

I can relate to being hungry too!

Take good care of yourself Ledonna! You and baby are priority! Best wishes to you for a healthy outcome for everyone! Parenthood has been a joy for me for the past 23 years. I hope it will be for you also.

Take care Ledonna. It's a tiring time. I only knew I was pregnant because I couldn't work out why I would go home and sleep for 10 hours then my iron levels sunk to an all time low. Rest as much as you can...you will be craving rest when the baby comes.

It's so good to hear from you. I got sleepy just reading what you're doing on 'normal' days! Being pregnant can be hard work so please don't overdo it. Sending prayers, write when you can.

Alaska Girl had to hire someone to help me straighten up clean and get ready for fall winter because I've been so sleepy. I tried to think about cleaning but gave up lol. I can maintain after the deep cleaning change over. Lol

Jaileen not sure boy/girl I want to know and I don't like being suprised. Intresting

Sally I'm anemic so iron is low, eating foods rich in iron and trying to be healthy but still tired right now 10 to 12 hours and naps. Weekends forget about it. Lol

SandyG you have me laughing but it's true.

Thank you family for the positive vibes maybe I'll post my sunday church looks. I love dressing for church.

Tem and my huge extended family are taking great care of me. Tem and I go on walks on the weekend.

I try to get a bit of exercise in during the week day. I eat walk around the block at work downtown Chicago or walk down few flights of stairs then I get sleepy and eat again. I do work inbetween lol

I'll be 43 by the time our little one is born and Tem will be 48 hmmmm. Lol oh boy.
