Baby blues

Most get the baby blues within weeks of their baby being born. I usually get it for a day or so and then I'm good. This time I waited for it and waited for it and thought SWEET, I'm not going to get the baby blues!!  But then it hit me...4 MONTHS LATER!!! Totally unexpected. I believe it was triggered by multiple things. Let me fill you in on what went down that week. That week I was in charge of the RS Christmas dinner and program (STRESS), Preston was starting a new school (more details for another post), Bradley decided to finish his eagle project before the end of the year (More Stress) and of course Christmas was right around the corner.I'm sure my baby blues was stress related but then on top of it both brothers of Paul had baby which made me want a baby. What was I thinking?!? I have a baby. I was not thinking straight. I knew I was extremely sensitive. Anything and everything triggered it and I would start to cry. I could not control my emotions. It lasted about a week and then I was back to my old self again. Thank goodness.
