38 y/o married to my best friend since 9/12/1998; We met in 1992. Married in 1998; I'm a '91 graduate of the Univ. of Houston. Working on Masters degree in French Literature when I met the love of my life! He was in law school. I left my job in 1996 to work w/him when he opened his Law firm. Married in 1998. Working on our "family" diligently & actively since June 2004; 2 miscarriages, one Sept 2004 and another Dec 2004; Break from TTC per doctor's orders in Jan 2005; resumed family planning once all genetic testing was completed. March 2005 BFN; April 2005 BFN! May 2005 BFN! June 2005? Doc had "the" talk with us, if no bfp this cycle, it's on to IVF --test tube baby for us? maybe! Update: July 2005 underwent 1st IVF cycle, with SUCCESS! We conceived two beautiful little boys, born March 30, 2006 via emergency c-section. I am now wallowing in the joys of early motherhood. That is, lack of sleep, fatigue. My compensation? Smiles from the babies in the middle of the night... 11/14/2006: Babies are now 7 1/2 months old and I couldn't be more happy!

Not me

If you had asked me 9 months ago whether I thought I'd ever have the baby blues, I'd have answered you with an emphatic NO...

who'd a thunk, me with Post partum depression.

In bed over 2 days, feeling overwhelmed, anxious, depressed, fatigued, no appetite (down to 120lbs.) haven't been that thin since college (1991!) and just an all around feeling of WOW...

today was 10% better than yesterday, when I fell into "zombie" land...it was all I could do just to get up and go say hello to the boys, kiss their little heads and tell them how much I love them then it was back to bed.

Today, I fed Marcus all the way, Matthew half way (daddy took over) and I bathed Matthew...Mom bathed Marcus while I watched....It was much better than this weekend..

Tomorrow I expect to be even better....Dr. J prescribed me some anti-depressants and I hope that they kick in asap...this PPD sux hard...
