21-6-2009 - No more tears left to cry...

My mood while writing this blog:
Ok

alrighty here it goes, so i SERIOUSLY think that something is wrong with me...it's been 6 days since i had my little man and this is the 3rd day that i can NOT hold back bursting into tears almost every 10 mins!!! i have sooo many emotions running through me right now that i'm not sure how to handle them. for instance, i'm soooo happy that my little guy is here and my family is complete, but on the other hand i actually sometimes miss the way it used to be. i feel so bad for my daughter who went from being number 1 and the center of all our attention to just the 'big sister'...she IS only 2 and i know she is still too young to completely understand, but she knows that when people are coming over to visit they are not really here to see her, they want to see her new brother. i also know that she WILL eventually get over it and it is all such a new thing, but i can't fight back the tears for her. she is such a little sweetie and i never want her to think that mommy doesn't love her the same now that there is a new baby in the house. then there's my husband, who is the BIGGEST help that anyone could ever ask for! he has been sooo amazing keeping julianna occupied and helping with everything and anything i need! i look at the 2 of them and AGAIN, can't fight back the tears. he will be returning to work in another week and when i think of him not being here all day, AGAIN, can't fight back the tears...not sure how i'm gonna handle this all, but i really don't have a choice. i guess this is all normal and i'm not having any 'bad' thoughts or anything, just the unknown that has me worried. i'm sure it will all fall into place and i know it all takes time and i'm sure the lack of sleep is not helping either...can't wait for these post-pregnancy hormones to even out...hope everyone is feeling well and for all those still waiting for your little ones to arrive...cherish the last weeks and days of your pregnancy, as much as you can't wait for it all to be over, deep down when it is, you WILL miss it.

I was an emotional rollercoaster after my son was born. I didn't experience that much with my first, so it took me by surprise when I had such a hard time after my son was born. My midwives told me that if it lasted longer than 2 weeks, then I should worry, but otherwise it is normal. It sucks though, I know! I would cry in the shower everyday because I missed the way my pregnant body looked, and I was just sad! I hope you feel better soon!

It will all be okay I know aht you mean about your daughter though, everyone wants to come see the new baby and my son has been kind of pushed to the side to. So when baby is sleeping I make sure to hang out with him. He is 5 so he understands better than your little one

Arh darling you will be ok, it will get easier as time goes on and your daughter will love her new brother soooo much. And remember they all LOVE YOU!!!

awww Amiee..it will be ok...my daughter is the same way...she cries because she can't get any breast milk to come in, she cries all the time. I think it is pretty common till ur hormones slow down..and as long as u are giving ur daughter some attention (which I know u are) she will be ok. And u will be ok to. hang in Aimee..good luck to u and ur family and congratulations on your new baby!! :)

I so know how you feel. Oh I just want to give you a big hug!! I promise I would cry with you! My little one will be 3 weeks tomorrow, and I've noticed that I'm not crying anymore and don't even feel like it. However, I have been super sensative and even spent 2 days not speaking a word to my hubby!!! I understand every one of your emotions. I tell myself that just like my unmedicated contractions, somehow slowly one by one I will get through it. If it makes you feel any better my breast-fed baby did not poop on her own for 10 days and I had to make her poop by putting a q-tip in her butt. Try that at 3am with her screaming in pain, with a 5 and 6 year old and a new puppy!!!!! ***hugs***

if this lasts more then 3 weeks i would ask your dr about it. it sounds like you might have post partum. This is normal for the first few weeks but after that its not normal

Im sorry your feeling down. I have been upset lately too and my lil one isnt here yet. I have a 20 month old which is a HUGE mommas boy. Im so afraid that hes gonna think I dont luv him as much and dont wanna spend time with him. I know everything will fall in place eventually but Im sure its gonna be hard at first. Soon things will be back to normal and you will forget what it used to be without you lil guy. Take care and you can always message me is you need someone to talk to.....Ill probably be asking for advice from you too as soon as my lil guy comes. (HUGS)

Awww hun I'm so sorry your feeling like this. It's just baby blues. Your hormones are all over the place right now. You've just had a baby. Give yourself some time to adjust. It wont be easy with 2 little ones but you'll get there. I too have this sinking feeling that I wont have enough time for my son (who is 3) once my twin girls get here. He is my boy and I will never let anything come between me and him. Your daughter will get used to her little brother soon and it wont be long till they are both a little older and play with each other giving you enough time to grab a cuppa. I wish you all the best and we are all here to talk if you need someone. Good luck and God Bless xoxox

OH hunny.. Im sorry you are feeling blue. Sounds like post pardom to me. Its hard to have something so precious grow inside of you for 9 months then suddenly its gone. Even tho he's in your arms the empty feeling is still there. It will take a few weeks for you to feel better but remember you WILL feel better. Try to take one day at a time. Hug your daughter often. And even tho you have a new baby, a two year old and a husband to take care of, dont forget to take care of your self too. You need just as much if not more looking after, as your baby does. Hang in there Aimee. We love you...

aww poor thing! This is my first but i've heard it's pretty common to be emotional after you give birth. Change is never easy but just remember, it's a good change! It's normal for your little girl to feel that way. Just make sure you do your best to remind her that you love her just as much as you did before and nothing has changed with that. Have her try and help you with her little brother. I've heard big sisters, even when they're that young, like to help play the mommy role. I'm looking forward to that since i'm having a girl first :o) She will get used to the change...even if she doesn't understand right now. Good luck with everything!
