I must confess that I decided to go off the map from here for a couple of reasons, and didn't give any notice.

Mainly, I was getting burned out. Plus, with Tatum's arrival, life has been hectic, and I haven't been up to my normal self. I definitely didn't feel like giving back much to anyone, and admittedly, I was just tired.

I felt it better for me to leave & take a break than bring negativity to the forum.

All is well, and I promise I will reply to all the messages and comments that have been in my inbox.

Tatum is growing and thriving. She's 7 weeks old, I'm doing great and enjoying her completely. I'll share more on the pregnancy after VSG forum later. We're leaving for Texas in a couple of days, and we're busy packing, organizing and getting everything ready for our trip.

No need to apologize. I missed your posts but knew you were enjoying your baby. Glad you are back and the baby is doing great!!! Have a wonderful time in Texas!

Congratulations! I'm glad to hear that everything went well.
