I finally figured out the app for this and it is SO much easier to see everyone's posts and to post myself! Oh and it let's me to pics so I'm pretty happy!
My hubby got his new snow blower today just in time for all the snow. I didn't realize that the love between a man and a machine could be so strong. I almost hesitate to ask him which new family member he likes better the baby or the snow blower
Are we married to the same person? This is my DH to a tee.
Someone keeps telling me to give my 13 day old baby cereal so he'll sleep at night. Uh, no. He's only 2 weeks tomorrow. He can't have baby food, only formula. How many times do I have to say that?!?
Why oh why did they have to show that superbowl commercial about accidental childhood deaths? Cue the tears! My DH and I just looked at each other in horror when it came on. So depressing.
Camry and Dove made me cry with the Dad commercials. McDonalds, Microsoft and Always had good ones. I am so angry about the Nationwide commercial about the dead children/household accidents. So inappropriate and insensitive, and bizarre for an insurance company. Big thumbs down.
I don't feel like myself anymore. I'm so emotional, terribly anxious, and territorial. I don't know when I got to be this way. I was on my way to my mom's to pick up LO yesterday for the first time by myself and I started having a full on panic attack. My heart was pounding out of my chest and I noticed that every now and then my heart would do just a half beat. I ended up turning around because I knew I couldn't make the drive and I got my best friend to ride with me. Panic attacks are no joke. I was convinced I was dying until my friend said that she has a heart murmer, it does the same thing, and that it's really not a big deal. It's started to interfere with my relationship with FI. I get insanely jealous (and really I wasn't a jealous person) and emotional. He picks on me all the time. Sometimes I take him more seriously then I should and end up in tears. Tonight he told me that I should find another man if that's how I am going to be. He said I should tell him if I'm not happy and then he said "actually you don't have to say anything. I can tell by the way you act." I honestly love him with all my heart and am so happy with him. I just don't know how to talk to him about the way I'm feeling and explain why it is how it is. If you made it all the way through that, you deserve all the wine/beer or doughnuts. Take your pick

I'm sorry that you are experiencing all of this. Please please reach out and speak to a professional about your panic attacks and anxiety. A combination of therapy and medications may be able to help. Healthy, happy mommy is the best thing you can do for your sweet baby. There's a baby blues check in on the board and the wonderful ladies may be able to give some suggestions as well. I hope you start feeling better about things soon.
elleno95, I'm sorry you're feeling that way. Did you have anxiety before you were pregnant? Either way, you should probably talk to a doctor about your anxiety.
I would say to definitely not marry someone unless you are happy in the relationship and confident that you want to do it because whatever faults the person has will probably not get fixed over time. But if you really love your fiancé and are happy in the relationship, and if he loves you and treats you well (which I'm not sure about based on your post), then maybe it could be PPD or PPA and not the relationship that is making you unhappy?
Hugs - it's a lot to think about, and I recommend talking through it with someone who can help.
grumpycat88 Thank you. I had seen a counselor when I was younger over my anxiety attacks but I have never experienced it to this extent. It makes me feel like I'm missing out since I'm worried about all the little things and not just taking the time to enjoy this time in LO's life. I keep telling myself the older he gets, the less anxious I will feel but I know that's not true for any mother! Thanks again for letting me vent, I'll head over to that check in (:
maebb We have our ups and downs. We're both pretty young (19 & 23)and it's been a big adjustment for both of us. I did have anxiety attacks as a child. I went to counseling for it and I learned to distract myself and breathe through them. It doesn't seem like that helps much anymore.

DH thought he taped the super bowl so I could watch the commercials later and somehow it didn't tape. Only the preshow did. I'm bummed. Also, I've had a crazy busy day! We got stuck in the snow on the way to church. It took a plow, dh and a shovel, and a nice stranger to get us out. But my sister was here, and my mom's still here. I really wish they both lived in the same city as us. It's been really nice today and my mom goes home on Saturday
I have 4 little bears, just like my name says. 2 girls 2 boys ages 8,5,3, and my newest babe. 2 of my little bears have life threatening food allergies, feel free to ask me more about that!

Oh my God, I did the same thing. That was awful and I hope they get called out on it.

My Boobs exploded at my FIL's this evening so....that was fun. They got real painful by the time we left so I hand expressed into a bottle on the way home. Classy.
My DH just commented: Your books are kinda ridiculous.
I went up 1 cup during pregnancy and pretty sure I went up maybe 2 more since milk came in...
Edit: boobs
Mine were bigger when I was pregnant. The day my milk came in they were huge and then once the engorgement passed, back to only slightly bigger than my usual cup size. I'm usually a borderline c to d cup, now I'm just closer to a d.
Okay I cried. The Hawks lost. I came home, held my kitty (who I miss dearly--she keeps her respectful space from me and G, although inching closer every day) and cried. Why would they throw it? Whyyy?
