In laws were here and baby was screaming. Had to take him away to get him to chill and eat. Do babies get overstimulated this young? Because he seemed like he was. I went and took a nap after I gave him back because watching pass the baby is too stressful for me

Maybe he doesn't like them hahaha. My parents said when I was a baby, any time I opened my eyes and my dad wasn't holding me I flipped out. Pretty much how I still feel about family functions lol
Without fail, the sun starts to go down and my anxiety picks up. Idk how much longer I can go on like this. These baby blues are getting to be crippling .
I'm so sorry I would definitely call your doctor and see if they have any suggestions. My SIL gets crazy panic attacks and her doctor had her take 1/2 benedryl when she felt one coming and that helped her, if you're looking for something to help with that. We're here to listen if you need to vent or just get it all out
Thanks. I have dealt with generalized anxiety disorder in the past, although I've been off medication for over 2 years now and doing a lot better. I had some anxiety during my first trimester, but it also got better. I feel like I'm almost willing myself into post partum anxiety, but everything im reading tells me my symptoms are classic baby blues. I just started crying because I realized that as of 1:49am tonight/tomorrow morning, my baby will be one week old! I just need to try to be more patient with myself and trust that everything will fall into place and work out. These blizzards really aren't helping either- I wish I could get out for walks in the warm sunshine. I'm looking at real estate down south and fantasizing about moving out of New England!

I am so sorry you are going through this. I had the same anxiety as you are describing following the birth of my daughter. Its like I wrote your words myself. When night time rolled around I was inconsolable and scared. I don't know why, but every night was the same thing. When the sun came up I felt a huge relief, like I survived and I felt better until dinner time.
It gets better. One day it will just all click and you will get past this. But mention it to your Dr. They may be able to help get you through this time. Big hugs! Vent your feelings anytime you need to!

DD definitely gets overstimulated when there's a lot going on or she's getting passed around too much. DS was that way from just a couple of weeks old as well.

yeah, we just went and "nursed" for an hour. he def wasn't hungry, just wasn't happy.
I put makeup on and did my hair. That is DH's vday gift... Being 39w today and getting dolled up is more than enough work.
Hoping DH is up for my suggestion to get these wonderful things of legend called "milky buns." A lot of my friends have had them, and they say it's awesome. A hot donut sliced in half, with a scoop of ice cream in the middle. The closest one used to be an hour away, but they just opened a closer location to us. I'm hoping we'll get to go!

DH took me out for a mini V-day date early this afternoon. Went to Olive Garden and picked up some groceries while MIL watched LO. I was super anxious about leaving Korbin, even though I totally trust my MIL and it was only for two hours. But I sucked it up and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. No anxiety attack this time at least! That'll probably be later on in the night before I go to sleep. I feel your pain izzy0927. Every night before I go to bed, I'm fighting tears thinking about how tired and exhausting it is waking up every few hours. DH is a huge help by letting me go to bed early while he stays up late, but its still hard.

I just want to thank you for sharing this. Knowing that other moms have been through this (and more importantly, come through it on the other side) is really helpful. I think the worst part of this feeling is the fear that it's permanent. I'm also worried that one day I'll look back at this baby's first days and weeks here with us, and it'll all be colored by this stress and fear. I want to be able to treasure this time, because the last week has already gone so quickly! But seriously- thank you. It made it a little easier to breathe tonight.

Holy cow that sounds so yummy!!! I want one!
No milky buns today, but we did go to the waffle sandwich shop and walked around. The weather was GORGEOUS today, and DS got worn out running around. A good day overall.

It's funny bc until you mentioned this, I totally forgot about it. I had this issue with DD1. It was the stress of never knowing what the night would bring, etc, etc. So the good news is that eventually it gets better and then you totally forget all about! This time I've defenately had those moments but not the every night sort of thing I dealt with the first time around. GL!
