New baby...worried!

[Guest guest]

I haven't posted in awhile because thank god my daughter has been

doing well. We haven't been to her psychologist in weeks because we

just can't afford it right now. Plus she's doing well and I know that

she'll need to go a lot in the winter again so unfortunately we have

to hold off for now.

Though she's doing well we are very worried because I just found out

that I am pregnant with child number three! This could not be more

unexpected! I was afraid our daughter would be very upset but she's

actually excited so that is great. What's not so great though is that

this baby will be due right at Christmas which coincides with what

always seems to be the start of the roughtest time for my daughter

and her OCD.

I truly cannot fathom going through the winter with my two year old,

a new baby, and my daughter's OCD. It's SO very hard for her during

those months that there are days on end we both spend just crying our

eyes out. I can't imagine how we're going to deal with it.

That and of course the fact that we are struggling to afford her

doctor as it is. Oh how I wish we had a qualified doctor near us.

With gas prices as they are making the two hour one way trip is more

than we can afford let alone the actualy appointment.

I know we'll be okay and we'll get through it but I am truly scared.
