Hey all.

I need to get out of bed because DD has an early haircut appointment, then we need to run errands. Want. To. Sleep. Oh well.

How is everyone today? Any fun plans?

    @Firefly3911‌ I went through the same thing with DS. 4am and up for the day (until a nap that was a whopping 30 minutes) at around that age. I don't remember how long it lasted because I was in a state of constant delirium (and 6 months pregnant) but eventually it stopped. But like pp he now wakes around 6am. 6:30 if he's being kind.

    I hope he starts sleeping in a little more for you really soon! It's so hard. I completely understand. I had several meltdowns. I'm sure calling your doctor on Monday will help.

    @Firefly3911‌ I hope you can get some help. I haven't had PPD/A but have had general anxiety for a long time. I hope you can talk to your doctor soon and come up with a plan.

    Do you do talk therapy or cognitive behavioral therapy at all? It's not a cure by any means, but it has helped me enormously so I thought I'd suggest it. It's not for everyone and I still took medicine for a long time while going, but maybe talking to someone could help. Best wishes to you.

    @Firefly3911‌ I hope the break helps. I'm sorry you can't call your doctor today. Just take the weekend one day at a time and call on Monday. I hope things look up soon.

    Eta I'm not sure what you're going through, but if you're feeling very bad, do they have an emergency line or something? Hugs to you.

    I went through my OB for PPD before I got pregnant with this one. I thought I'd go back to being that crazy happy pregnant lady. The depression is so bad now that I'm just so angry. At everyone and everything. Even my sweet little girl who is just being a baby. I feel horrifically guilty for being mad at her and then wondering why I'm having a second kid. Guilt, anger, and shame.

    I could try calling the OBs after hours line, but I think he knows me well enough that I'd only get back on my meds because I recognize how bad this is.

    At this point, the benefit of my pristiq far outweighs the risks to baby boy. I can't be this basket case for 19 more weeks.

    Thank you for listening. It means so much.
    I wish I had the foresight to seek help earlier with my PPD/PPA. I waited until after my second was born. I had a very scary time after I had my first and a terrible pregnancy with my second. I still have lingering effects of it (kids are 4 and 3) but my meds help.

    Hello. LO is up early but thankfully I didn't stay up too late. Still don't feel good from this cold. But at least LO doesn't have snot pouring out his nose, so far at least. No idea what we're doing today. I have to go take a menu test for work. It's like 15 pages. Way too much food.

    @Bythebeach09‌ This is what I'm scared of, things getting worse (to what, not sure).

    I'm going to try to get out of the house and just goof off today. Maybe hit the mall for a couple of hours. That seems to work for DD. She loves to people watch and interact with everyone.

    That's a good idea. It got really bad toward the end of my pregnancy with my second. I was petrified. Thankfully after having her, those initial new baby happy hormones kicked in for a little but then all hell broke loose. The medication made it so I could function. Therapy helps a lot too. I also have generalized anxiety, OCD, and depression, all of which were untreated before kids. Everything amplified after kids.

    The best thing is that you recognize something isn't ok.

    We are up and I'm tired. She is getting ready to watch Frozen since we can't get Netflix to work on the laptop right now. I'm sad it isn't working because that's how I was going to get some Scandal in later.

    Not much on the agenda today. Meal planning and grocery shopping. Probably go pick out a back pack for her.

    I feel weird today. Mostly tired.

    I'm trying to get a babysitter tonight again because Cute Dad is having a get together at his house this evening. I wish he'd told me about it before I paid $60 for babysitting last night. Oh, well. I am kinda really nervous about it anyway, so idk if I should even go.

    I'm not totally sure how that talk went last night, either. It was weird.

    Idk, man. He said he felt good about how things are going between us, but beyond that it was a slightly odd conversation. I think he's just adorably awkward, but I am a jaded overthinker, and I'm having trouble seeing the forest for the trees in this instance, I think.

    DS is never going to poop in the potty. I'm convinced of it. And now he's holding it and all constipated. Potty training is the worst parenting thing ever.

    Feeling good about it is good, but I know what you mean. Did he say he wasn't dating other people? Are you his girlfriend?



    ::way invested in your life as well::

    He said he "pretty much doesn't check Match or eHarmony anymore" so..? I cut to the chase and asked if I was his gf, but he said something like, "I don't know how those labels work... [stammering]... But I mean, I guess I could call you my gf and it would be accurate?"

    I just don't know lol

    Sounds like he just isn't sure about labels which seems accurate for men sometimes. I would just go with it and keep having fun for a little bit. At least he is dating other people right now

    He did ask me if I was going to call him my boyfriend and teased me about the "cute dad" thing... I said something awkward like, "only if you want me to." At that point I was all apologizing for putting him on the spot and told him he didn't have to call me his girlfriend if he didn't want to (all in a sort of joking way).

    It was just weird. I'll try to stop yammering about it now lol

    The weather channel is confusing me.  They are forecasting showers all day, but the hourly forecast says party cloudy with no rain and it's sunny right now.

    I don't know what to do.  I just don't feel like fighting the battle to get these two out of the house and onto the beach just to have to turn around and leave.

    We're going to a wedding tonight, which means I get McDonald's fries. Since I'm a vegetarian, I always stop at McD's for a supersize fry on the way to weddings just in case there aren't good vegetarian options...totally reasonable and healthy right? 
    What McDonalds do I go to to get a supersized order of fries?  LMK, STAT.  They don't do that around here no mo'!

    Makes sense to me! McD's fries like to brawl with my gal bladder, but you best believe I'd be getting fries from somewhere!
