6. How would you rate your year on a scale of 1-10? 6 and I only say that because I had a horrible time during my pregnancy. I cried every single day, fed my head with stuff, fought with my husband, couldn't stand my kids to be around me. It was terrible. I did finally talk to my doctor about it though and he put me on some medication that did wonders. Now I am fighting the depression of having gained weight from the meds.
