Hello everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know that I won't be on as much. Nothing is wrong, I just do better when I visit here every 4 days or so instead of everyday. We are well with the exception of my husband working 6 days a week and not having any family time. Today (sunday) is supposed to be our day together, but he's at work. I'm hoping he's feeling okay when he gets off and maybe if it's not too late, he, Mo, and I can go for a drive and then later him and I to a movie. Work is cool and I'm only one month away from starting school. I know what I want to be when I grow up....A TEACHER! I don't want to be a server when I'm 50. I only need 4 courses for my AA and then I can start my work for my BA in elementary education. I'M SCARED TO DEATH, but I know if it's meant to be, G-d will see to it. Mo is 7 months old now and is an official crawler! He only scoots every now and again. He was standing up in his crib this morning and I just about died! He was more on his toes, but it was so cute! Looks like he may be walking soon. I haven't breastfed in nearly a month and a half and it's odd, I do miss it. What a closeness Mo and I had while I was doing it. We still have that bond, but breastfeeding made it even more special. I haven't had a period in about 3 months now, but I did bleed for about a day and a half last month. I'm going to talk to my OB if I don't see a cycle once I hit the green pills on my BC. Of course I'm not pregnant, no signs whatsoever. And I know what they mean when they say, once you've been pregnant, you know instantly the next time you are. I took 2 tests over 2 months and of course BFN and I'm okay with that. I want to enjoy Mo for a little while longer. And this house just isn't big enough for another little one. Our stimulus check arrived on July 7th and it was SO NICE to finally receive it. Money was low and now we're on the high end once again and I'm hoping it stays that way for a bit. Well, let me go, my little man has been in his activity center long enough watching Baby Einstein. He's such a good boy...even if he does wake up at 2:45 in the AM and doesn't go down again til nearly 4AM! Oh I was MAD this AM because I was SO tired. I put him back in his crib because I was upset and a few minutes later hubby stepped in and took over. I didn't hear him again til 6am and I was okay with that. Got him a bottle and he fell asleep about 30 minutes later and we BOTH slept til nearly 8:30!
Hope all you guys are well. Be blessed and take care!

I hope you start to feel better soon, but I just wanted to let you know that it takes zoloft 6 weeks to start to notice the effects so hang in there and hopefully you will feel better soon.

I was just reading your blog on the 5 month page. I feel you on the lack of interest in sex thing. I used to be all about being intimate with my husband, and now it's so hard for me to get into any sort of sexy mood. I think a lot of it has to do with my hormones probably still being out of whack, and because my bod is still no where near what it used to be! I personally think that we need to accept that sometimes women just won't get back to where they used to be with their bods, and we can just hate the women that do!! =) I am active most of the time, taking care of my son and working and walking a lot, but as with you, I do not have the time of the patience to plan out meals of salads and boiled chicken! Just know that your husband, just like mine, loves our bodies because we sacrifieced our bods to give them their children. Every stretch mark and glob of fat is a testimate to what we went thru to bring our children into this world and should be worn as a badge of honor. Tell your friend that you just need a new dress for the wedding, no expanations needed, and if she's any sort of a friend she will understand. I have had to buy all new clothes to fit my post baby body, and even though I am not to the point where I can look in the mirror and say I love my new bod....I sure am trying to work on it. Look into maybe getting on some herbal "happy pills" to get over the slump, but be proud of where you are right now with your bod!

im sorry to hear about the way you have been feeling...i know how you feel about the intimacy thing...i feel the same way...it just doesnt feel the same at all and it we ever do it, i just want him to hurry up, sorry tmi, but i do think its our hormones still raging at us...i told him it just doesnt feel right anymore and he was very understanding and told me he wouldnt push me...just keep talking to him and try your best..do the two of you ever get to go out together...just to eat, nothing fancy but the two of you...if not, try that, sometimes we just get one of our parents(or whoever you may have) and we will just go to mcdonalds/grocery, or wherever, just to get away for 30 min and have time to talk to one another...anyway just give it a shot before you give up....good luck!!

hey hun, the lack of sleep is enough to get anyone down, i know, i've had a terrible week and even told my partner to eff off when I really didn't mean it, I was just exhausted and feeling down.
As for body image, it is difficult, I can't fit into my pre preg clothes and have stretch marks galore. I think the best thing is to get the dress altered so it's more flattering for your new figure. You can still look good even if not at your ideal weight. I have had to buy a new wardobe in a bigger size but I made sure I got clothes that make me feel good.
I think what you may really need is a good sleep, if that's possible! Could you ask someone to come and help u out for a day so you can have a break??? Anyway, I hope you start feeling better soon, take care xx

oh, honey, i'm sorry you're feeling blue!! if it's any consolation, i think a lot of us are going through some things like this lately. i personally feel like dog kaka many days for all sorts of reasons and i have pity parties almost every day, tho i try to keep them short, hehe. maybe it's just part of the baby development cycle... ugh!!! but some of the moms with more than 1 baby have told me it DOES get better, you just have to give it time. which, i know, can sort of be the last thing you want to hear when you feel just crappy, lol. but i think they're right and it will get better. one thing the moms keep telling me is to TALK to your husband, even just to say, 'i really just don't feel great right now, please understand.' i hope your PPD gets better -- are you seeing a doc for it, just so that you're not having to struggle alone? keep talking to us, too -- we're there for you!

I've been reading about you letting your son cry it out....I'll tell you what I did to get my son to fall asleep on his own and you can do what you want with the advise. I started out holding him until he fell asleep, but once he went to his crib at about 7 weeks old, we started putting him to bed "drowsy". We would give him his bottle and burp him and when he was just starting to fall asleep we would go and put him in his crib. If he fell asleep, great!, but if not we would go and get him (after just a minute or two) and hold him until he got to that almost asleep state again then put him back in his crib. If we had to do this three times, on the third time we would hold him until he fell asleep, then put him in his crib. Eventually the times he would wake back up grew fewer and fewer and now at 5 1/2 months, he has been sleeping thru the night for almost a month. We lay him in there and he knows when he is in his crib, it's time for sleep. There can be times when he's wide eyed when I lay him in there and I just tell him 'goodnight sweetheart' and kiss his forehead and he's asleep in no time. Every once in a while he does squim a bit, but we will just pat his little butt and he'll fall asleep. It does take a while, but it will all work out for you I'm sure! Good luck!

Just read your post on letting Evan cry at nap/bedtime. We did it with Owen last week and it was rough but sooooo worth it now cause he slept 12hrs last night! We would go in every 5-7 mins if he was still crying and now he goes to sleep in 5-10mins and hardly any crying now!

Mo turned 7 months on the 4th of July! Where the heck did the time go??? He's such a BIG boy now! Although we had trouble in the Walmart buggy today. Don't think mommy had his little belt placed correctly. He fell to the side twice, but luckily never hit his head. He's in his new Britax car seat and it's SO much easier getting him in and out. I wanted to buy myself something for my birthday on Friday, but Walmart didn't have the DVD I wanted so I purchased some more clothes for Mo. If I can't buy for me then I will ALWAYS buy for Mo. I got him a puzzle that makes sounds when you put the pieces back in. It's so neat. It's called Farm Animals Puzzle. Got it for $10 at BELK'S.
I hope all of you are well. Take care!

Just wanting to say hello to you all. I hope each of you are well. Mo is no longer in an infant carrier. We moved him to his big boy car seat this week and I LOVE it! It's a Britax Diplomat and it's one of the best investments we've made! I went to the Sheriff's office to have it checked out and was told to follow Britax's instruction on forward and rear facing. I'm going to be turning Mo around VERY soon. It says to do it when he's over 20 pounds. The officer told me at first to keep him rear facing as long as possible but when his assistant read the side of the car seat he said nevermind follow Britax's instructions, they know that they're talking about! Took Mo shopping at Walmart yesterday and for the first time he got to sit in the buggy in the front! WOW! Such a big boy!! He reached for everything on the shelves. Even got a loaf of bread down when mommy wasn't looking! I had one of the buggy covers in it and it has toys on there for him, but Mo was more interested in what was on the shelf.

Well, I hope all of you are good. I haven't received messages in about 3 days and I hope everything is okay.

Blessings to you all!

Denise
