All I can say is ditto, ditto, ditto. For the record, I hate that word.

I’m sorry your having a tough time. IT’s in there and you will find it!

Aww, hun. :/ It’s not easy to try to push through it when you’re feeling it (and even without the post partum part, I can attest that depression is, oh, not the party you’d wish it were) but know you’re a strong cookie who will mosh on through this. The very fact you can BLOG it means you recognize those moments and you’re already working toward the light.

Hugs, lady. Like Katelin said, I’m not a mom either and don’t know what it’s like, but I feel for you and am proud that you’re talking about your postpartum stuffs.

With school finishing up I’ve been too busy to do anything fun. I’m hoping I’ll start to have more free time soon to just be. I feel like I’ve been going at warp speed for far too long now and I just want to take a deep breathe and sit still for a minute.

I gave birth last week, and I’ve been keeping an eye on my “sads” for the last few days. Luckily I’m feeling better today, but I hear you on the innocent comments gone wrong. My husband sent me an innocent email about some groupon to go do something with his friends, and I definitely freaked, like, how nice for you to be able to do things with your friends at whim when I am home with a baby strapped to me! I know this will change soon, but during the first week home, it wasn’t what I needed to hear.

Hang in there!!

I know, there are a thousand and one reasons that we’ve all sort of lost touch. It’s no one’s fault, no one’s to blame (at least that’s what I tell myself to avoid all the guilt!) …

Love you!

Thanks for the shout-out!

I can imagine there are a lot of things that you don’t have the time or energy to do once you become a Mom. I don’t really have as good of an excuse (because I don’t have a little one) but there are definitely things I miss doing that I used to do. I used to make jewelry and paint…and I haven’t had time to do either in so long. I’m not a new mommy but I am new at being a freelancer. I thought I would have more time working for myself but I don’t. I’m busier than ever! The flipside though is that I love, love, love what I do…which I imagine is a similar feeling to the tradeoff you get from being a Mommy

Good luck with everything! I’m sure things will settle down a bit once he gets a bit older. The first while is always tough.

There is nothing wrong with the changes in your life! If you’re not happy with something, you can definitely change that, even with a baby and an amazing husband in tow. Speaking of the husband, even though you feel that way, I hope he hears it from you, not just for him but for yourself as well. I love the moments when I take the time to tell my fiance how much I appreciate him, etc. It’s so lovely =)

PS – Play Sims while nursing? I haven’t played that game in a long time!
