I am a FTM of a beautiful almost 3-month-old DD, Ruth.  Throughout my pregnancy I flip-flopped between whether I wanted to SAH or go back to work.  When DD was about 8 weeks old, I went back to work.  That did not pan out for me, DD, or my MIL (who volunteered to watch DD).  DH and I figured out a budget that allows me to SAH with DD.

I am a mix of excited and scared.  All of my life I wanted to be a mommy, but now that it has happened I am dealing with PPD.  My meds are helping, and I know that the difficult newborn stage isn?t forever?soon enough I?ll get a rhythm and figure out an easier way.

During my pregnancy, I lurked on several different boards but really didn?t post.  I?m hoping that I find a home on this board.  I?ve realized how important it is to know that other people are going through or have gone through the same thing I am.

Welcome! Sorry to hear about your PPD. It seems like things got much easier for me when DD was around 4 or 5 months.
