  3.  I'm terrified that this medication that I'm switching back to won't be strong enough for me anymore.  My grandmother had severe PPD (so extreme that my grandfather authorized a lobotomy for her because she was basically a vegetable she was so depressed) and I am so afraid that I inherited this gene from her.

  4.  I told DH last night "I'm sorry you lost in the wife and mother-of-your-child lottery." 

  Can you ask to go on Xanax till your new medication kicks in?  It works immediately, and for me and my anxiety, it made a big difference in helping me immediately get stabilized before Xoloft took effect.

  So many hugs your way. I can tell you, without knowing you at all, that you are a wonderful mother just because you are worried and thinking about all of it. I'm so glad you're getting help and it sucks that the new meds are making things rocky. Hugs, get some time for you this weekend...your DH has a wonderful wife and mother of his child!

  PL - please don't let the side effects to your meds make you feel this way.  You're a great Mom.  You'll eventually get the meds stuff straightened around.

  I am also really excited that DS loves DCP and learns a ton, because I am totally still sending him when DD is born. A few people are trying to make me feel guilty about this but um, 1. I still have to pay either way and 2. Seriously, the kids life is going to change a ton, routine is a good thing, right?

  I have every intention of sending DD to daycare while I'm on maternity leave. Not only do I want to maintain her routine as much as possible, I feel like I had a solid four months with her when she was born, and I want the same for #2. I have zero guilt about this.

  I sent DS#1 to day care every.single.day. when I was on maternity leave.  Every day.  Period.  And I don't feel a whit of guilt.  I picked him up as late as possible every day too.  I was tired, dammit.  It was summer(a lot of the parents at his school are teachers), so he got a TON of one-on-one attention and a chance to run and play and learn, and I got to spend the same time with DS#2 as he got.
