Today marks the beginning of a new adventure for me. This blog. I've tried to start two other blogs before, and I failed to continue to post. This is going to be my outlet after long days of being a wife, mom, and teacher (homeschooling mom). I've realized that in order to keep my sanity and not have a breakdown, I need to talk about my day. I figured this is as good a place as any.
I have always struggled with writing a back story, or playing catch up when I feel I've gotten behind. I given myself permission to not feel behind this time. I will just post what I need to "confess" the day I write. I will start with a short back story, but this is the only time I will feel the need to "play catch up".
Almost six weeks ago I gave birth to our fourth child. I expected the transition to be a hard one, after all I struggled immensely at the transition after child number three. Much to my surprise, it was a pretty natural transition. I began Kindergarten with M the day after I came home from the hospital, and we have been doing relatively well ever since.
Today, I had my postpartum check up. Everything looks good and I've been given the green light to resume regular activity. All you moms know what that means to hubby. Ha! I also talked with my OBGYN about non hormonal birth control. Without getting into too much detail, I didn't get the answer I was hoping for. That didn't help my emotional state at the moment.
I've been dealing with postpartum depression symptoms for the last couple of weeks, and I've been trying to suppress talking about it much, or really dealing with my feelings. This is the top reason I decided to start this blog; I need to talk about it somewhere. So, thanks for listening.
