postpartum hormones

[shell024]

man, its like being pregnant all over again!

From one end of the spectrum, I'll take one look at my little boy and tears of joy will just fall from my eyes; How could he be so precious??? So innocent, so special, ....love at first sight.

Then the other end, tears just pouring, how am I supposed to do this??? am I doing it right? When will I ever have time for ME again??? I'm so confused, and lonely....


Anyone else feeling any of this at all??? I'm 3.5 weeks pp....

Absolutely!

I'm 6 days pp and I'm experiencing something very similar. I can't even talk about Lana or sing to her without crying my eyes out because she's so special to me. I've made dh laugh a few times because I just start crying uncontrollably.

At the same time, I'm very anxious about this week, when dh will return to work. This is so much responsibility. I wake up in the middle of the night worrying about her and the decisions I'm going to have to make in the next few months/years...especially the whole vax thing. Just want to do what's best for my baby and am feeling an overwhelming sense of responsibility and anxiety. I've also had the "are things ever going to be the same again?" thoughts. I know they won't and I wouldn't want them to be, but I think it anyway.

I'm told this is perfectly normal. I just can't wait for my emotions to stabilize a bit.

I have the same thing here! dh has laughed at me too! I do believe it's normal, I jut can't remember how long it lasts! the hardest thing for me has been not being able to take care of ds, he used to come to me for everything and now he goes to dh. the good thing is they get to build their step father and son relationship.

Our emotions should get better pretty soon, if they don't then it's more than normal baby blues....

See, I'm not crying over Kate, I am just over joyed with her. I'm crying over ds! He turned 4 yesterday and when I was putting him to bed I had to turn out the light to sing ABC's to him!!!! I can't believe that 4 yrs ago today he was smaller than Kate is now! It's just crazy.
