Baby has arrived.

Ethan Michael Lachance came in to the world at 5:50 tonight. Congratulations to Dan and Jenn. Dan sounded so happy and so excited on the phone. Jake is thrilled and Jenn is doing well.

This stirs up a lot of memories and a lot of emotions. I will always have my memories; good and bad.

I'm going to bed.

Hello

Just a note to let you know I'm still around. Seems I have so much spinning around in my head and have not been putting it down on paper - or blogging. Work is ok. Anxiety and depression are being controlled with meds.

My weight continues to be a major focus for me. I hate the way I look and feel. Therapy doesn't seem to be helping me to find the answers I seek - even though I don't know what the questions are.

Jake will be a big brother any day now. I pray this is a positive transition for him and that he is not lost in the shuffle. I worry about him all the time. Pray that the choices and decisions I make are always in his best interest. I put him above everything and everyone else.

While I thought that moving in with my sister was a positive step that would help everyone involved, we are clearly not compatible as roommates. Jake and I will be here for 7 more months and as soon as the lease is up we will look for a place to be on our own again.

I really enjoy spending time with my neice Samantha and I feel we have really grown close. We laugh a lot and she is teaching me all about Nascar. She is sucha an amazing person.

In the past 5 months this is my 2nd time alone - just hanging out and relaxing. And it's driving me nuts.

Thanks for checking in on me.
Doris
