Yeah they had tons of commercials and some stupid behind the scenes stuff. We recorded it but even with fast-forwarding through breaks it still felt too long!
I won an iPad at DH's company Christmas party last night! I never win anything, and we had been planning on getting on for E for his second birthday (next summer) so I was really excited!
We had our 3rd appointment last night. I feel like it's more of the same. I think we came up with some good ideas though to move forward. We both just need to follow through better and hold each other accountable. I think we're both just so overwhelmed so if we take things one step at a time it will help a lot.
Which role was Jennifer Hudson? I started watching and quickly started comparing to the movie version and switched to catching up on this week's shows instead.
Today I called my doctor and asked for help with postpartum depression. I had it with DS1 and felt so good initially that I thought I might avoid it this time. Over the past week I have definitely felt myself spiraling down. I reached out to my coworker last night so she would hold me accountable to call my doctor today. No matter what I know rationally, I still feel like a failure
Big hugs MrsAggie! I'm so proud of you for recognizing you need help and asking for it. You are in no way a failure. You are being the best mom you can be by asking for help! Sending love your way.
((Hugs)) MrsAggie! You are a great mom and far from a failure. I had it with C and promised myself I would not go through not treating it if I had it this time. So far I have been lucky but if I have signs of PPD I am going straight to my doctor, so good for you for reaching out. I hope things improve soon- I know how hard it is with two difficult little ones.
suzv- ((hugs)) sounds like your DS is a lot like C (and L isn't much better...we were up a lot for a couple weeks recently...the past 3 nights have been ok with 3- 4 wakeups). Don't hesitate to get help if you need it. It's not worth suffering through...it took a toll on all areas of my life and I wish I would have gotten help. Seeing how much better it can be this time around has made me realize how bad it was last time. Also, I promise, it does get SO much better...maybe not at 6- 8 weeks but by 4- 6 months it was way better and every stage since has been much better for me than the first 4 months of C's life.
I had PPD with G and had no idea how much better parenting could be. I should have gotten help but never did. I promised myself I wouldn't let that happen again. I have my mom and DH watching me in case they see me start to slip and fall back into that place.
suzv It can be so hard. So much harder then I ever would have guessed. It truly gets much better. Big hugs girl. We are here for you and you can message me anytime.
suzv The best advice I got when I was going through PPD with W was if you ever even think about calling your doctor, do it. I hope things get easier for you.

To go along with this, have your H call if he's willing. H did a lot of calling for me with LCs and PPD! He was a lifesaver
