I need virtual hugs

This morning, someone asked me if I had my baby yet.Tongue Tied

I have finally accepted my PPD and called my dr for a prescription, but they haven't called back yet.  I really wanted to pick it up at lunch.  I don't want this to affect my job.

I knew my work clothes didn't fit but I knew I wanted to lose weight so I bought 2 inexpensive pairs of pants from Old Navy and a pair of jeans.  I washed them this weekend and this morning one of the pairs of pants had shrunk and the jeans got holes in them.  The pants I have on now are the only ones that really fit and they have spit up on them and are covered in baby blanket fuzz.  

At least I have pot roast in the crock pot when I get home.  I need comfort food.

Thanks for reading.

    Oh Amy, I am SO sorry.  Going back to work is a hard enough adjustment without having to deal with comments like that.  If it makes you feel any better, it was almost 4 months before I was back to my pre-pg clothes....  Glad you called the dr and I hope you start feeling better soon.  Big hugs to you!!!

    Sorry you are having to deal with so much. Just understand that things take time and, from what I've read, it's perfectly normal to experience a level of Baby Blues...you're an awesome, beautiful girl...just know that and take things one day at a time! Oh, and feel free to vent here anytime you feel like it.

    I'm so sorry! I know how hard it is to juggle being back at work, taking care of a newborn, and still not feeling like yourself. I hope you get to feeling better soon. You are a wonderful mom and everything will be back to a new normal soon. HUGS!

    Oh Amy, I'm so sorry you're having to deal with all of this.  As PP have stated, I'm sure it's a huge adjustment going back to work and trying to take care of a newborn.  Just remember we're here for you when you need to vent.  I hope things start looking up for you.  You're a beautiful girl and a wonderful mother.  ((((hugs)))))

    From one new mom to another I just wanted to say I know how you feel and it does get better.  Sending you hugs and a big squeeze (for that extra effect).  Here's hoping things look up really soon.

    ((((HUGS))))  That seriously should be on a list of things NEVER to ask a woman, along with "I didn't know you were expecting. When are you due?".  If you're wondering about it and it's not obvious, ask someone else. 

    Give yourself some time to get back to your old self.  You have so much going on right now and it is a huge adjustment.  I hope you feel better soon!

    Hey girl, we are here for you. From what I've heard from other Moms, there is no time limit on feeling like yourself again. Everyone is different. I think it's wonderful that you were able to get the crock pot ready. Can I come over for dinner? I don't even have a child yet and I have no plans for dinner Smile

    Have you been looking in my window?! I know exactly how you feel. I went and bought 2 pairs of pants from Old Navy yesterday because my boss said something about the pants I was wearing and gave me money to go get some new ones. (It was actually done with a kind heart and was more of a God thiing than I have seen in that respect. DH felt God was telling him to give $100 in tithes on sunday, and God gave it back to us. ) Other than that, the only things that fit are my maternity clothes because I gained so much weight and haven't been able to get it off just yet. My only black pair I can wear are maternity, and are also covered in baby blanket fuzz.

    Long distance hug coming your way. We can be weight loss buddies to get to feeling like our old selves.
