I was an emotional basket case right after she was born. especially since I had to spend a week in the hospital with her having viral meningitis....
I am only 3 months into life with her, and I don't feel any different then before she was born. So, I guess I am lucky.
But sometimes things will make me cry that never made me cry before....like that song from Creed...arms wide open.... Or finding out that my friends 7 year old daughter had leukemia. Or sometimes when I look at her I get teary eyed. But no depression.
As far as feeling unhappy about my body...hell yes...and I didn't gain excessive amounts of weight either....its just that my body doesn't feel the same. ALL of the muscle I busted my ass building was sucked away by all of the extra estrogen my body produced during pregnancy. And since I couldnt stand the smell of most food, I didn't eat as much as I should have. atleast I have my work cut out for me....
Val, I hope that you feel better...are you nursing or formula feeding?
I wonder if that makes a difference at all.....
Keep your chin up sister, you got a handsome lil man there that loves you more than anything else on this planet!!!
