What's Goin' On?!

Happy Birthday, David!!! We love you!


We're Moving!! Less than 5 minutes away.

It all started with the weather getting warmer and warmer and me wanting a pool more and more. I figured as long as we can swim here 9 months out of the year, why not try for a pool? We also felt a little cramped in our home with 4 school age kids and a dog. So, I set my friend who is a Real Estate Agent out on the hunt for a house for rent for the same price as ours, but with a pool. Weeks went by and I didn't find anything I liked. If I did, the pool had no fence around it and to foster the pool has to have a fence.

Finally we found a home that was close to the kids school, the same amount of rent and had a lovely pool- with a fence! It's an older home but that's okay. I didn't feel completely good about it then (and it had a July 1st move in date) so we didn't commit to anything. Then, our landlords sent us a letter saying they were going to up our rent significantly. That sealed the deal and we called that same day and got the house. We move July 14th. Phew!


On a different note: around this day I was supposed to have a baby. I'm not and I'm okay with that but I'm still super baby hungry. We all knew that though- right?

That's about it. It's getting hot here. The kids are having fun enjoying summer and going to the pool. We loved having the Kleinmans over for a week (and having Christopher here for a little bit!) and I'll post some pictures later!

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 ...
