But I need reassurance....

So is it normal to just get home and want to cry a little not cuz ur sad but cuz it's a little over whelming your life has changed and what was simple b4 isn't any longer?

Yes, I felt this way too. Also, felt like DH didn't understand what a bug deal it was and how overwhelmed I felt, which also made me cry.

I haven't said anything to him yet I felt taking to woman going thru the same thing might make me feel better first lol we just got home today, company left, he fell asleep and I was like "omg what have I done and how am I going to do this" lol

I cried because my friends broke into my house and cleaned it top to bottom and prepped it for our LOs arrival. They also left and amazing assortment of gifts and hand made burp clothes.

Yep, it's normal. The fact that everything has changed was the hardest part for me. On post partum day 5, I seriously think I cried more than I ever have in my life. My eyes were so swollen I could hardly get my contacts out. That was the worst day, but I felt pretty depressed for about a week. It will get better!

With DD, I did end up with ppd/PTSD, but I remember talking to my b about things, he said it was very normal to be weepy/ sad for about the first 3 weeks.

This time, I cry over very random things, it is easy to get overwhelmed.

Yes! Just cry if you need to as well.

Crying and general weepiness over every little thing seems to be totally normal. I have lost it a couple of times.

But beyond that, I think it's also totally normal to feel a little bit sad every time you go through a major life change. For example, I feel a ting twinge of sadness on my wedding day for the road not taken and the fact that things were changing. I was thrilled to be marrying my husband, etc., but I think it's normal and HEALTHY to spend a second mourning the loss of your previous life every time you make a big change.

Those exact thoughts went through my head when we were in the hospital.

I was on Mag so I was sooo sleepy and loopy and my poor DH was trying to do everything since I couldn't. The first night E just started screaming bloody murder and I literally could not get myself out of bed to get her. I just watched my husband rocking her while she was screaming. I started crying thinking "what did we do?! It's too late to take it back. I wonder if we should put her up for adoption?" I feel terrible for remembering myself thinking that =(
