Ellie is 3 months old and I'm still getting the hang of this whole Mommy job! I've been working on organizing and de-cluttering the house, so much of my free time has been taken. Who's kidding, I have NO free time these days but I'm not complaining!
We bought a minivan! It's scary how much I love my new vehicle....it has so much room! Now Ellie will never be allowed to play soccer because I canNOT be called a soccermom!
Ellie has begun napping during the day unswaddled. I'm too afraid to not bind her up at night. Lately she's not been sleeping well at night, but I'm not too worried about it. She's still in the bedroom with us, but she sleeps in her bouncy seat. She moves around too much in the bassinet and keeps me awake. I tried putting her in the pack-and-play, but she spins around.
We're still breastfeeding! Ellie has been interested in food for a long time, and we've started giving her single grain oatmeal with a spoon once a day. She LOVES it and has surprised me with how well she eats. I look forward to making baby food in the coming months!
As far as PPD is concerned... I have good days and bad days. I'm still on the lowest dosage of Prozac and have considered talking to the doctor about upping that. With football season approaching, I'm already anxious about leaving Ellie so Brandon and I can attend some games together. I desperately need a little bit of time away from her, but I'm too nervous. I can only hope that this will ease as Ellie gets older. I plan on writing more about Postpartum Depression in the future, promise. Because I'm still trying to win the battle, it's difficult to write about it. But I will start compiling my thoughts on the subject and try to share my journey with it.
My mind is in about 10 different places right now, so I will just end with some pictures of Ellie.

ReplyDeleteShe's so cute and sweet! I can't believe she's unswaddled already! It took us a LONG time to get over that sleeping tool. LOVE that last picture! :)
ReplyDeleteI agree that outfit is adorable! Making baby food is so much fun and trying new foods and seeing Reagan's face is priceless.
ReplyDeleteWow she is beautiful! I'm sorry you are struggling with PPD. When you are ready to share your thoughts on that, I think it would be a great opportunity to educate other women on recognizing the signs and the importance of not being afraid to ask for help. That's the counselor in me talking :)
ReplyDeleteI'm 55-year-old from Paris, I was diagnosed with second-stage liver cancer following a scheduled examination to monitor liver cirrhosis. I had lost a lot of weight. A CT scan revealed three tumors; one in the center of my liver in damaged tissue and two in healthy portions of my liver. No chemotherapy or radiotherapy treatment was prescribed due to my age, the number of liver tumors. One month following my diagnosis I began taking 12 (350 point) Salvestrol supplements per day, commensurate with my body weight. This comprised six Salvestrol Shield (350 point) capsules and six Salvestrol Gold (350 point) capsules, spread through the day by taking two of each capsule after each main meal. This level of Salvestrol supplementation (4,000 points per day) was maintained for four months. In addition, I began a program of breathing exercises, chi exercises, meditation, stretching and stress avoidance. Due to the variety of conditions that I suffered from, I received ongoing medical examinations. Eleven months after commencing Salvestrol supplementation But all invalid so I keep searching for a herbal cure online that how I came across a testimony appreciating Dr Itua on how he cured her HIV/Herpes, I contacted him through email he listed above, Dr Itua sent me his herbal medicine for cancer to drink for two weeks to cure I paid him for the delivering then I received my herbal medicine and drank it for two weeks and I was cured until now I'm all clear of cancer, I will advise you to contact Dr Itua Herbal Center On Email...drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com.
