Bump break... (warning DD pics & mentioned)

Cow-girl

Im sorry I havent been posting the last couple days.  I pray that you all made it through the holidays without too many issues...

I wanted to let you ladies know that I am taking a bump break for awhile.  I just need to get away.  I was diagnosed with PPD (post partum depression) today.  My dr suggested I just take some time for myself to "refresh" and get to feeling better. And reading your stories just absolutely breaks my hearts (which doesnt help the depression right now).. 

I hope that you ladies will welcome me back when I am back to my "old self" or whoever that is after the last two years.  I will miss posting for you ladies everyday, but right now I need to take care of myself and be the best possible mother and wife I can be.

I know that you all might be thinking that I should be the last person in the world that should have ppd since I have a miracle baby, and I would agree.  However my dr says that the depression I had from losing baby Grace at 18 wks may have followed me even through today because it was never treated.  I hope to be feeling better soon and back to posting inspiration and poems for you ladies.  In the meantime you can look at some of my old posts on my blog at www.hopeafteraloss.blogspot.com There are tons of posts (just like I post here) for you to browse through...

My thoughts and prayers will be with you ladies during the time I am away..  {{hugs}} to all!

cowgirl--i will miss your posts, b/c they did help me through my roughest days and made me smile.  but i completely understand and i'm sure that you will be over (can you be "over" it?) the ppd in no time.  At our first counselling session today, i was told that its great I know I want to try again, but I need to put my issues with anxiety and anger to bed first before trying, because they will follow you, unfortunately.  but if you need anything, or just want to talk/ chat, you can email me or pm me (fireflies0306@comcast.net)--since you won't be on the  bump.

take care of yourself and your family first!  i will say a prayer for you everyday!  you'll be missed!
