To get help and start to feel better you have to admit there is problem. A medication can help but admitting the depression is needed as well.
Tonight I am going to the first Moms Helping Moms Postpartum Depression Meeting. MHMPPDM.
I have been taking Zoloft for 2 1/2 months. It feels like it is not working anymore. I am doing my best to feel like the old Supermom.
I am looking forward to the meeting. Details to come.

Depression even at the happiest time of your life.
Calling all Doctor Who fans!!!
I was introduced to Doctor Who by my husband. I remember it coming onto PBS as a small child and thinking, "OH NO, not that show.". I just wasn't interested as a small child. I favored my Barbie's more I suppose.
We were both thrilled when Christopher Eccleston became the Doctor. I thought he was BRILLIANT as he used to say all the time. I was really sad to see him go. I thought the show wouldn't be the same and I wouldn't like it. I was stubborn and said I didn't like David Tennant at first but he grew on me. Nahh, he is great too. I enjoy him as the Doctor.
We watched the season finale this weekend and I was sad. I won't write anything about it just in case you are waiting to see it. I am sad I have to wait until Christmas to see it again. Well, a new show that is. I can catch the older reruns on the telly.
Here is a link I want to share that my husband emailed me this morning.
The 10 greatest episodes of Doctor Who.
Who's Who called my house this morning.
The call ended tragically though I am afraid. With me hanging up on them.
I laughed at first and told her, "I know every other woman got this and I filled it out as a joke.". I told her everything I said about myself was true. I am a stay at home mom of 4 that likes to blog.
Then you can tell she is reading off her cue card. blah blah blah
The catch was $700.00. Which went to $600.00. Then $200.00. This is where I hung up after politely saying, "No thank you".
So does this mean I won't be included in the "Who's Who Book"? Bummer :(

We are so blessed.
I have been watching the news lately and it has been terrible. How can humans be so bad? I keep hearing all these awful things happening to small children. Then I look at own children and think how I would never ever hurt them or let anyone else hurt/abuse them.
With that being said...
Yesterday I was so happy and felt so blessed to be with my family for July 4. I enjoy evey minute with my mamaw and great aunt. I know they will not always be here for me/us. I took some pictures of all 4 of my kids together.
Lil O said after the fireworks-I want to do this again tomorrow. lol
I hope that everyone feels as blessed as I do.

I am a bad mother. I didn't put socks on my baby and now she is sick.
I was out in 80 degree weather on Friday.
I was told by two people that my baby didn't have socks on. She was in the wrap all next to me as I shopped at the grocery store and at the coffee shop.
So now Baby M is sick and I know it's because she wasn't wearing socks.
~eyeroll~
If you believe that, I have a bridge I can sell you.

You mean I can have sex now? Sex after having a baby.
It eventually happens after you have a baby. Cesarean or vaginal, the feelings are the same. Having sex after a baby is sort of like getting ready for a first date. All nervous with butterflies. The moment has to be right. You take a bath/shower. SO you don't smell like a milk machine. You shave your legs and under your arms. You put your smell good lotion on. You want to feel like a WOMAN and not a MOTHER!!! Then you pray to find the time between breastfeeding and taking care of the other kids to be alone.
It is really hard, for me, to find that moment. After having a baby sucking on me for the past 11 WEEKS and then to think of sex. It is hard for us moms. We still love our husbands, promise. In all fairness, there are 4 kids in our house. It's juggling to find time to be alone. And when we do crawl in bed all I want to do is SLEEP!! Or try to if the baby will let me.
Not to forget the Zoloft I am taking for PPD. That zaps what sexual appetite I have to pieces like a bug zapper.
