Happy Friday!

-

Fridays are always nice! Tonight Lisi (the other Elizabeth Abbott) is watching the kids while Josh and I go out on a date! Hurray! Josh will be just coming home from work, so he will probably be tired! We should probably go out on Saturdays, but tommorow is general conference (see: http://www.lds.org/) so he goes to a meeting from 8 -10pm tommorow. Poor Josh got stuck on the Metro yesterday for an hour. They had some mechanical problems. He called me at 6 pm and said "I'm still on the Metro." I probably should have said "Still? Wow!" All I said was "Well, we're sitting down to dinner right now, so..." We were both having long days. I taught Joy School- which means six three years olds (one a five year old) in my house for two and a half hours. I'm usually a little worn out after that!


I guess that's the price I have to pay, to get the other Moms to watch my kids for two and a half hours when it's their turn to teach. I haven't decided if it's worth it yet.


This is my blog. My name is Megan Abbott.

My Depression and the Inauguration '09

-
I went to see my Psychiatrist, Dr. Joshi, in Baltimore, Mayland today. I mentioned to him that I wanted to stop taking my medication (for personal reasons! You can e-mail me and ask me if you want to!). He replied that that was NOT a good idea. He said that my brain does not make enough seratonin. Lexapro does not give me seratonin, but helps my brain produce it. He said I should be on it for six months (I've been on it for three, so three more to go) and then we can start reducing it then. If I start having a hard time, then I will go back on it for next winter and try to go off of it next summer. Some people have to stay on it all their lives, but I don't feel that I will be one of these people. I want to still have more babies, and you cannot get pregnant on this medication. This seems to be a longer recovery than I originally planned, but I am giving myself until Dec. 2010 to work on this Depression and make more decisions from that point on. Thank you to all who have praye...

Baby Name Woes

-
Maximilliano? Declan? Antony? I am thrilled to be on the hunt for a baby boy name but for the life of us, we cannot settle on just one name. We are at a loss for a good, strong, meaningful baby boy name. Let me emphasize WE- I have quite a few that I really like (Brigham, Ephraim, Bennett, James) and would use in a heartbeat. Josh, on the other hand, hasn't been able to persuaded in any direction.  And this is a team process. Me and Him.  With Elizabeth, we went through just a handful of names, and when I said "Elizabeth"- my Grandmother's name- we both agreed and felt that it was to be HER name. In fact, when we found out it was a girl, we called people and told them "We are having an Elizabeth!" It has been a perfect name for her (Elizabeth Renee- Renee after her Grandmother on Josh's side) and fits her perfectly (don't all babies names fit that perfectly after awhile? Well, most of them!) Ethan and Jonah were going to be 'Nathaniel...

Angels Among Us

My sister sent this to me and it touched my heart! I had an interesting experience the other day. I was meditating early in the morning. As I was meditating, I had a thought that I should ask, in prayer, who was with me. I did and the answer came "Rose, Robert and Abigail." These are the three babies that I lost from a miscarriage. I didn't see them with my physical eyes, but I felt their presence- sitting on the edge of our guest room bed, as young adults. They were happy, and pure. I felt that they loved me and they are watching over me. I want you to know that I believe in angels. I have had several experiences with angels when I was younger. I know that God sends us small little signs- a butterfly on your shoulder, a big bright moon, a gorgeous sunset, a fun mazda miata- to show us that He loves us and that we are deeply cared about. He cares about us more than we will ever know in this life.  I know that angels are nearby and they are waiting to bless us, if ...
