The Baby Blues
I know that it is normal to have a little bit of depression after having a baby. I had that last night. The hubby went to dinner to celebrate his friends birthday, with my blessings he went alone. Well, my older son was a bit cranky from the lack of a nap, I was without another adult in the house (my mom has been with me every day this week while the hubby is at work), and I was feeling down a little. On top of that it seemed that every time I turned around I was getting on my older son for doing something to get in trouble. Yeah you should have seen the roll to TP and the thing he did with it. I can’t remember how many times I had to put him in time out. Lets just say it was tugging on my heart strings. It was killing me to have to discpline him so much, but I know I can’t back down for the “sack of me”. I had to call the hubby and ask when he was coming home. He heard in my voice something was wrong and offered to come home immediately. Thank you honey it really meant a lot. So, I am feeling better today. Even though I’ve been home for a few weeks now, I am ready for the weekend, ready to have the hubby with me during the day. Ready to have our first weekend at home with our new family. My older son gets to go to a birthday party for one of his little girlfriends, so that will be something special that daddy will take him too. I will have a few hours alone with the baby. Hoping no more baby blues pop up.
