Where are all the mama's that have had babies? - Page 2

Still here, mostly feeling harried and bit sorry for myself.

I saw Forestymom's thread the other day and felt like I need to apologize for my absence also. I send a heartfelt congratulations out for all the new babies and I hope the rest of you are telling yourself what a healthy baby you are growing as you hang in there.

I always struggle emotionally early on as I deal with hormone swings, lack of sleep, and more to do, etc. I tried to prepare but it is not coming easily. I have been lurking on the other side thread but really only like to contribute when I am feeling up or else it just comes across all wrong.

I did go out today (to our homeschool group park day) where as the rest of the week I would begin to get ready and just cancel as it seemed like to much work. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come.

Ummm, yeah. I have been sitting on an exercise ball at the computer because it is a bit gentler on tender parts but it is very hard to nak on it.

I'll get better (either my tail or at naking on an exercise ball)

Gosh, I'm so sorry! I know how you are feeling, at least a little bit. I just stopped in for a quick look-see this evening. October is getting so close--I was sure Waylon would be an October baby! Anyway, we have had our hands full--I have mastitis and he has jaundice and we have made trips to town for both. I wish I had known that jaundice was normal to some degree.

Anyway, the time is coming! It will get here! Sending lots of labor vibes and hugs!

I'm still around too!

I tried to get on the ball right after my baby was born and was doing well keeping up with all the new arrivals here for a little while, but then everything caught up with me and I have not had the chance to check in daily...much less post replies. All the mommas who are still pregnant are in my thoughts, though, and I wish you the deliveries you hope for. For those who have recently given birth...sorry I may not have congratulated you on your thread, but here is an all encompassing congrats!! Hope everybody not in those two categories is doing well also!

I'm around...I lurk and say congrats to all the new mamas, but I've been on Birth & Beyond to ask questions about pp issues, etc.
