I'm never here anymore...  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
So sorry.
I'm MIA because this whole being a mom of three is a bit overwhelming. Tomorrow he'll be four weeks old. It's absolutely going by much faster than with my first two.
I'm feeling pretty well but have to be careful because I keep hurting my back (doing too much with a still unstable pelvis and very loose abdominal muscles). My house is an absolute wreck. I cooked for the first time yesterday because dh was sick and couldn't (I just have NO time for anything other than taking care of Caedmon and trying to supervise the other two). We have mice getting into our kitchen (luckily all the food is out of reach (we have gloss paint on the walls), my two year old is throwing up today, and my four year old is going through a touch of potty regressing (luckily it's just with pee).

Most days I'm feeling pretty good emotionally but I've had some pitfalls. I got all scared when I had a beer and it mellowed me out and I thought maybe I needed meds because I was too stressed out. But dh bringing me a cup of st. john's wort everyday has really helped. SO has the sunshine and nice weather.


Congrats to all the new babies and mamas. Hang in there first time mams... it gets easier... er, um or at least different

I wish I could update with pics but I haven't even been doing that (taking them). Caedmon is growing so fast! He's pretty much outgrown his newborn clothes. I'm having to scram on small dipes because he'll be out of his newborn fitted soon too.

Hang in there still-pg mamas!!! I thought for sure I'd just be having my baby around this time too


I'm trying to play catch up on post reading but it's pretty hard.

Good to hear from you! I've been wondering how you were doing.

It sounds like you're doing well and hanging in there. I'm totally there with you on the emotional ups and downs, and I also seem to have better days when it's nice and sunny. I never suffered from seasonal depression before--I actually liked winter weather--but we had a long, hard winter, and I didn't realize how much it was bringing me down until spring started showing up.

Can't wait to see pictures later when you're up to it!
