Life and the Baby Blues

So, I've had a bout of the baby blues this week. I didn't think I would feel like this until after Caylee comes. With Jocey, I had postpartum depression, so I've just been expecting it. But not before the delivery. It's been a difficult week for me, not to mention poor Jon. He's such a good husband, and I am so grateful for his love and friendship. He gave up going to play basketball this morning so that he could stay up late and listen to his weepy wife.

Anyway, my friend, Jay Wardle, posted this song on her blog. I think often my prayers are answered through my friends. I truly needed to hear this song this morning. It made me cry again, but at least this time, it was a happy cry.

I had really bad post partum depression with Alexandra. I had gotten clear to the "crazy - I'm gonna kill everyone" phase before I realized "Hey this is not normal and maybe I should get some help".

I'm so glad you have Jon and that he's helping you out. Hopefully you won't have any ppd after Caylee is born since you're getting some of it now.

Hey... I am glad this song helped someone out as much as it did me yesterday! I agree that it is through others that Heavenly father answersour praayers but what is scary is that it sometimes might be us that answer others prayers! Hey I didn't think postpartum depression happened before the baby but it always does with me! I think after number two you won't have time to be depressed so that's why we are lucky to have it before... hope you are doing okay!

I'm thinking of you! It's hard when things start "before" the baby comes...but it always did with me too :) I hope things stay manageable. I'm praying for you! :)
