After suffering from some serious ppd after Abigail's birth I deleted this app. :/ I am not sure how much I will use it but the support from you ladies is great.
Abigail was born at 28 weeks after a long list of concerns and complications that started at week 5. I had a hard time believing we would make it until about week 24. I went in for a sonogram to follow up on her very small size only to deliver her that afternoon. When my husband made it to the hospital they told us in 30 minutes your baby will be here. We were terrified, we were graduating school the following week and moving cross country the following week. My house was completely packed and we were ready to go. We made the decision to stay here in Denver for another year so our baby had the best shot at survival and growth without interruption of a medical evacuation. At first it was hard to look at her and hold her. I went to the hospital simply to not be bugged about not seeming attached to my baby. By week 3 post delivery I was a complete mess, house hunting and recovering from a C section and a tubal ligation. In the heat of the moment we demanded I be sterilized because the thought of any more pain was horrifying and the doctors were so hesitant because the mentioned our baby may not even make it past delivery. Week 6 I had slipped into an endless abyss of just trying not to cry when I talked to anyone about anything. Out of haste and despair in the situation we found ourselves in I quit pumping and started smoking.
It has been the single most difficult situation I have ever been in but I am getting better and stronger just like my baby. We are getting close to bringing her home from the NICU to her forever home. I am trying to relactate and just focus on getting her bedroom ready for her in our new home... 3 blocks from our old one instead of 1600 miles away. Things are tough but looking up.

Happy Mother's Day, you seem like a very strong woman and I know your daughter is proud of you for not giving up. I had horrible ppd and anxiety so I can only imagine how hard it must have been added on to a already awful situation. I'm glad you're getting better, just continue to take it a day at a time. You'll eventually find yourself again. 💛
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...

Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
