Wooooohoooo!!!!

Wow...3 months? I haven't posted for 3 months? I didn't realize how far off my game I've fallen!

The reason that I posted today, actually, is because I have good news--I'm pregnant! I was kinda hesitant to even put it on here because I didn't want to jinx it, and I'm still VERY early in this pregnancy. BUT...I do have a doctor's appointment on August 19. :) How I'm going to be able to make it until then without completely losing my mind, I don't know. Oh, wait...that's right, I'll have morning sickness to keep me busy until then. It's the kind of morning sickness that lasts all day long. But you know what? I'll happily be sick if it means that I have a healthy pregnancy & baby.

I'm kinda halfway wondering what I've gotten myself into. I'll be 35 when this baby is born. Add on top of that the joint damage I've already got from my psoriatic arthritis, and well...I'm a little intimidated right now. I've heard that most cases of arthritis go into remission during pregnancy, and I'm really hoping that I'm part of "most." I guess we'll have to see. Either way, I'm in it for the long haul.

So, anxiety aside, I am THRILLED about this baby!! It's truly an answer to my prayers. I guess now I have a reason to update this blog more often now, huh? :)

Hi, I know that this is completely random but I found your blog through the comments at Sweeping The Home.
I noticed that in this post you mentioned Psoriatic Arthritis- something that my primary care physician thinks I might have.

I understand if you want to ignore this comment, but if you are interested I would really appreciate hearing about your experience with the condition. (I'd like to have an idea if I really fit the bill before I run off to specialists). I have a blog and if you'd like to chat about PA, I'd love it if you could leave a comment (or maybe blogger has a direct messaging service?)

Congratulations on your pregnancy, by the way!

P.S. I'm recovering from surgery and I'm on some heavy pain meds. I'm very sorry if this is a mess of a comment! My mind isn't all here right now.
