Postpartum Irony
Thursday, May 3rd, 2012I’ve talked about my past experiences with postpartum depression before. And I knew it was a possibility that I’d experience it again, after Wyatt was born. I even wrote a letter to my PPD for Band Back Together, in a very Eye of the Tiger moment.
Now that it is post-birth, and now that we’re approaching the month mark, I find myself with an unexpected problem.
I am driving myself nuts.
I feel like I am hyper-aware of every reaction, every bad moment. I’m over analyzing everything.
“Is that stress? Or PPD?”
“Is this normal hormones? Or PPD?”
“Is this because I’m running on 4 hours of sleep? Or is it postpartum depression?”
I may drive myself around the bend wondering whether or not I’m still sane.
IRONY.

Wanna hear me vent about my doctor?
Friday, April 6th, 2012I had a doctor’s appointment yesterday.
I showed up a few minutes early, as requested. Had all my insurance and payment info, as requested. And then I was shown back to a room.
I didn’t assume that my appointment would start exactly on time. It never does, but on the other hand, no one mentioned that the doctor was running late.

Waiting
Monday, March 19th, 2012Right now we’re playing the waiting game.
That’s what the end of pregnancy really is, isn’t it?
A waiting that seems endless.
Waiting for The Event. The Arrival.
It’s like holding your breath, and waiting to exhale.
Waiting for things to Happen. For things to Change.
Waiting for the end. Or the beginning, depending on you look at it.
So much waiting.
