22-7-2009 - baby blues??

My mood while writing this blog: happy/nervous

---

So, we are home and sort of still settling in. I love my little girl more than I ever imagined that I could. She's an angel and it seems like she's been here forever and I don't know what I'd do without her now. She's so sweet. I just have one tiny problem. I'm pretty sure I have the 'baby blues'. That's what the nurses at the hospital said it probably was. I'm in no way depressed about her being here. I love her more than my own life and I would die for her. She's my lil pumpkin lol. I just cry a good bit (usually only at night). I think it's because I'm a nervous wreck!! I barely get any sleep cause I'm so so so worried something will happen to her. I wake up everytime she makes the smallest movement to make sure that she's alright. I wish I wasn't so nervous. I'm hoping that it will go away with time. Also, I'm sad because I miss being......PREGNANT!! I know, right?? Me...the girl who couldn't stop complaining about wanting my pregnancy to be over with and wanting her here right away. Is it awful to want to be pregnant again?? Obviously not now...but maybe by the end of middle of next year. Oh, I'm crazy. lol. Well, I will try to get on more and update more from now on. Funny how much time a little baby takes up. She really is such a sweetheart though. I hope you ladies are doing wonderful.

I had this with my son. My husband wanted Slade to sleep in a cradle on the other side of the room and I said 'you dont understand that might as well be the other side of the world - I"m used to him being right with me' and he thought I was nuts. In the end we bought a special newborn bed for our bed. It was expensive but totally worth it. I had the blues, crying over nothing and panicking that I'd go to sleep and I'd miss him being in trouble or something. It's hard until about ten eleven weeks then it gets really fun.

I totally felt the same way. I missed being pregnant. I could carry him everywhere I went and he was "with me" It does get better with time. I promise, it goes by fast before you know it. The sleep gets better, mood gets better, hang in there and love on her as much as you can.

That Is something that I remember well with my little girl 8 years ago. I was not "depressed" I think that you and your body just get so overwehlmed with all the changes. I was told that it is also your hormones leveling back out. Also nerves. It is such a life change and are so worried about everything. It will get better. I was so glad my little girl was here and then there were days I wished that they could just put her back in me. LOL There were days in the first few weeks I would cry so hard and laugh at the same time because I had no clue why I was cring and there was no warning. It should get better I know that it is hard but try to relax just alittle. Is there someone that you trust Hubby, Mom anyone that could watch your little one so you can get some sleep that really does helpI remember the not sleeping because I thought that I would miss something to. Just know that this is normal and every new and even experianced mom feels this to some degree. Sorry so long winded.

Please don't worry or feel alone. I know exactly how you feel. I was a NERVOUS WRECK when my Charlotte was born...couldn't sleep, constantly checking on her when she slept, felt guilty when I did fell asleep...afraid that I missed something or wasn't on post to watch her. I know it's all so crazy! But please remember it gets easier. My advice: Get hubby or someone to help you watch her while you sleep. DEFINITELY you get some rest. Sometimes the mind is so crazy when we have no sleep and you often feel better once you do. Pray about it...that helps tremendously. Constantly talk about your feelings online here and to your family and friends. Keeping them to yourself can make you feel worse or more isolated, and just take it day by day. Your feelings are perfectly normal, and I'm sure that you are doing everything right. Feel free to check in with us ladies for an ear or support!

hey i know exactly how you are feeling... i remember when i had bekah i was a nervous ol wreck and i thought that i was doing everything wrong. in fact everytime she would cry o would think it was my fault... like if i could just do this or that then everything would be fine and she would be happy. finally one night i took a the screaming baby into my bedroom with me and i don't know who was crying harder me or her and my hubby made me talk to him about everything and once i laid it all out there it seemed to start getting better. it was certianly easier when i realized that i am not the perfect momma and there is no such thing... and knowing that the hubs didn't care about the weeks worth of laundry in the bathroom helped a whole lot too :)

it sux being down but it wont be forever. ur not crazy to want to be pregnant again. being pregnant for so long then all of a sudden it ends so fast really puts a toll on some people i had it with my first i felt empty like nothing was there and i was no use anymore lol. but it fades away so just live everyday one by one

try to rest your eyes dear. i think i had a small case of baby blues with my son just cause my husband was always working and i was 17 but i just said to myself i have to do this. He is my baby.

Ummm.... I'll trade you! You can still be preggo and I'll have my baby! LOL! On a more serious note... try to get rest. If it last more than a couple weeks talk to your doc. Baby blues is only a short term thing. I hope that all goes well and congratulations again!

Sounds like "baby blues". Just don't overanalyze it hun. Think about all the reasons you are really happy right now and why you shouldn't be upset. That helps me when I get in those funks. That and lots of love from my hubby and little man. You'll be fine. Enjoy baby Adelyn!
