Wordless Wednesday

To say this Autumn has been difficult so far would be an understatement. Between PPD and my strong propensity towards seasonal depression, these last few months have hit me like a double whammie. But, I am happy to say that after a long talk with Glenn I am going to really reach out and seek some help. I'm going to call my midwife this morning and see if she has a counselor she recommends. I kept thinking that if only the colic was over, if only we beat thrush, if only we identified Bubby's food issues, if only, if only, if only. But it hasn't gotten better. Time to give up on the if onlys...

Anyhoo, I tell you all this because we had a really good day last week. We caught a break in the crazy windy, rainy, stormy weather and went to the pumpkin patch.

  1. Good for you for reaching out for help. We can't do it alone. You deserve to have the support you need for PPD.

  2. Reaching out for PPD support was the best (and hardest) thing I've ever done. Hang in there - it does get better!

  3. Those are adorable pictures, and I'm glad you got out and had fun! PPD is not a good thing at all, and it's good to hear you're going to get the support you need. Hope things start looking up for you soon and that you continue to share your journey with us.

  4. Please let me know if there's anything we can do to help. My girl loves seeing your girl, we'd be happy to play with her while you try to rest with Bubby some morning.

  6. We should sneak away sometime for an hour and just get a coffee and chat. PPD sucks(!!!).

  7. Glad to see that you're getting help. Sissy may not always understand all the troubles that come with being a mommy (yet!) but I'm a pretty damn good listener :)
