postpartum depression

Unfortunately it happens to the best of us. In some cases, some are worse than others. Mine I would say was mild, but I definitely had it and I'm not ashamed of it because it happens. Mine wasn't the kind where I wanted to hurt my baby, mine was more I was just a huge cry baby! Just having this sweet little angel finally here made me worry about so much. I wanted to be the best mommy ever and I feared that if something happened to her I would never forgive myself. You hear horror stories of SIDS and other horrible things that can happen to babies, and as moms some of us can't help but obsess over it and stay up all night and stare at that little angel breath all night! I mean I was up for four days straight..crying...and staring..I think I freaked Wade out. Until one day Wade said "Toni get in that room and sleep for a few hours, and your not allowed to take your phone or come out!" So I did, he was right I was making myself worse by not sleeping or eating. Any way a few days past and I was back to my normal self. I got into a routine with her and we were all good. Sometimes it just takes someone to get into a routine and to get some sleep. So for those expecting mothers, if you happen to feel like an emotional wreck..go eat some food and lay down..let daddy handle things! They are just as good and as careful as you are! Trust them.
