Ok I wanted to celebrate with a little 'yay me' time 
Today I got up and got dressed when I first woke up at 7:30 rather than struggling to get out of bed before 10. I did washing, hung it up, took Rowan to the doctor, did the shopping, made dinner and was still up and awake when DH came home. As well as all that I played with my girl and did general mummy things. May not seem like much at all but this is the first time in a very long time I've been able to function like that. Usually I am in bed for a lot of the day and if I get dinner and the washing on I'm winning. So 'Yay me' - I thought it would be nice to share a positive thing
ETA: And yay for the AD's -------------

Yay that's awesome Bobbie!
I remember after I had Ella how hard it was to get us both up, washed and dressed most days, let alone out of the house. I think about 7 months was the turning point for me too, I started to see the sunshine through the clouds again and felt like I started to have a bit of control and order back in my life. I still had bad days but the big difference was that I had hope that tomorrow would be better, which I hadn't been able to see before then. I hope that things just keep getting better for you chicky and don't forget to reward yourself for the progress xx ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:
