Postpartum Blues


Although I have had a little postpartum blues during the last week, it was nothing compared to today. I woke up feeling a little sad and just wanted to lie around in bed. Unfortunately, Elijah wouldn't have it and so I was forced to get up and get moving instead of hiding under the covers hoping to avoid reality. I needed to take him in to get his PKU test and found myself to truly hate the doctors office. I went to the lab just as they told me, only to find out that despite the fact that they told me the paperwork I had was sufficient to draw the test...it was NOT! The lab was very apologetic and said they needed an order but they would call the doctor's office to see if they could fax the order over. That would have been nice, except that the doctor's office WAS CLOSED! Now I have to drag Elijah out in the heat yet again once I get an order that they should have written when I was there yesterday. By that time of course, I was in tears and spent the remainder of the day laying on the couch staring at the TV holding the only thing that made me feel any better...my precious little man. Looking back on this week I've realized that I've been a little blue and have done absolutely nothing that needs to be done...even call to get my much needed washing machine fixed. The only thing that I look forward to doing is taking care of Elijah and posting about all the daily events and bragging with photos of my beautiful boy. I hope that this only lasts a little while as I know can be expected after birth.

Hope you are feeling better. I had the blues about 2 weeks! So I know how you feel! Mine was a roller coaster of emotions. Just give your body time! And of course that precious baby is worth it all!! Isn't that crazy!!!!!!!
