The good news about the visit it that she said it should be safe for me to continue my meds while breastfeeding. There is actually less amount of the drugs that comes out in the breastmilk than what she is already absorbing through my blood. So for me this is great news. I was afraid I would have to change meds or stop taking them altogether. The fact that I have done so well mentally with this pregnancy so far gives me hope that maybe, just maybe, I will not experience any severe postpartum depression. I can hope anyway. Usually I have bad depression during pregnancy as well, but I have been lucky so far. This has been an easy pregnancy, except for my ever increasing fatigue. When I go to my OB I'm going to ask him to check my iron. Maybe that's the problem.
We have planned for too much food for Friday, as always. The menu is turkey, dressing, potato salad, deviled eggs, sweet potato souffle, mac & cheese, corn casserole, cranberry sauce, green beans, rolls, cranberry fluff, and Coca-Cola cake. I am cooking a lot of the stuff, but Douglas and his mom are cooking a few things, and I'm sure Douglas will help me if I get too overwhelmed.
I haven't decorated for Christmas yet. I'm in no condition to lift all the heavy containers out of the storage closet, and I've been too tired to fool with it anyway. I want to get the tree up at least, for Jacen's sake. Otherwise I wouldn't care if there were any Christmas decorations or not.
