....ok...Audra you were right ...it was mostly just hormones talking ...and his lack of understanding those same said hormones...

today is much better...especially after talking last night...tho he now knows that i expect more in the emotional dept. at least right now...

still havent given her her first bath yet...that should be happening tonight.. .but possibly put off till wed. :) ...either way he will participate...

thank you to audra, james, and guess... for your words...

my sunny sky is back again...for now at least...tho I'm sure my claws are not far from sight :tongue:
 
Ah, the emotional rollercoaster of a new mother. I've been through it twice now. It's hard for the father to adjust and adapt to the ever changing moods that the new mother will get. I'm glad you are having a better day, good luck with the babies first bath. It will be a memory that will be with you always. You will do just fine, trust me. It's scary to think about bathing her for the first time, but you will see that it isn't so hard. Like I said, you'll do fine.

Talking about emotions, have you had any signs postpadtum depression? About 1 in 10 new mothers get it and most of them don't talk about it or get the help they need. They have terrible thoughts and are too ashamed to talk about it, thinking they are bad mothers to think such things. Well let me say, they aren't bad mothers for having uncontrollable thoughts brought on by postpartum. If you ever have strange thoughts, please, grab someone you love and talk to them about it. I only bring this up, because I know some friends that went through this and didn't talk to anyone about it until thing got real bad for them.

I wish the best for you and your new family.

as far as the postpartum..it hasnt hit yet..if its even going to...though everyone (doctors and such) are just waiting for me to call them because of my past...lol...at the hospital i got hit one day by 5 different psych doctors...all saying when it hits do i have the number to call...not even an IF it hits... lol... I have my depressed moments I'll admit...but never once because of her...and never frustrated enough where I'm like ok I dont want to deal with you....or anything like that...I manage to take it all in stride...and when i am tired and start to get frustrated i just take a moment...breath...and remember how much i love this tiny baby girl...i dont think I'll have a problem with the depression bit...and even if it does...I do luckily have support from friends and family...

thanks for all of your kind words...and advice...as always i appreciate it (from everyone) :)
