Bio
I was a healthy, joyful, member of the Baby Boom Generation. There are a lot of us around. I grew up in a crowd - over 950 in my HS class! I have wanted to write a book ever since I was a kid. Things changed after the birth of my 2nd child, a boy. Post partum, I developed bipolar 1 disorder. My first child a girl was premature and died before I gave birth. My second, my dear boy Davey lived almost a year, and died while I was in the hospital with a psychotic episode from bipolar. He had severe heart defects. I have written a book about some of my experiences: A Mother's Ring! It is published in the blog: thelibbybakersweiger.com. Soon I will get it published digitally and in paperback. I love to blog! For a list of my blogs see: www.bloggers.com/libbytalks. I have a new one www.storiesbylibby.com dedicated solely to my journey with postpartum bipolar 1 disorder with anxiety and the challenges of living with mental illness. I am blessed with a dear husband of 39 years, Mike and a sweet daughter, Abby 35.
