Relationship Challenges.

As a new mom I had these negative feelings all the time. When I spoke with other moms I realized I wasn't alone. 1. I do the majority of the work. I couldn't help but feel this way all the time. At night the baby would wake up crying several times a night. Sometimes it was every two hours. Nick Sr. would sleep right through it all or pretend to be asleep.  A couple of nights Nick got so frustrated he slept on the...

Postpartum Depression Part 3

I know many of you read this thinking she took entirely too much from Nick Sr. But I was bright enough to know brighter days were ahead of us. I read that a lot of couple’s divorce within the first year of marriage or the first year after having a baby. The first year is always the hardest. I was understanding enough to know Nick Sr wasn’t raised to respect women. He didn’t know a thing about kids because his mom took care of his first child. And out of respect for him and his family I won’t elaborate anymore. I was understanding but not stupid....

Postpartum Depression Part 2

Nick had no idea I was at the hospital. Nick couldn't handle watching the baby so he left the baby with his mom. She even started sending me mean text messages. “If Nick keeps the baby Friday, you need to get him Saturday. You need to take responsibility of your child. I’m going to have a talk with you.” She made me feel worse then I already felt. I cried to hard the nurse came in my room to check up on me. I showed her the text message and she gave me lots of sympathy and then told me to cut off my phone. A doctor came in and told...

Postpartum Depression Part 1

God truly dislikes when people slander others as if they’re perfect, so I am not writing this to tarnish anyone’s name.  I write this only to share my story of hope.

He has kept and preserved me. If someone reads this and wants to gossip about me,...

Moms always know

Recently Nick acquired an ear infection that required antibiotics. Consequently he suffered a yeast diaper rash. This rash seemed to come out of nowhere. I increased the amount of desitin I used on him. I went from using it nightly to using Desitin with every diaper change. His rash continued to get worse.  I decided I was going to fight this naturally. I started changing the baby every hour. That actually exasperated the problem. His...

Welcome

The truth is I have way too much time on my hands. Facebook is dying and I tried three times to use twitter but I guess I was just too boring to get any followers. So twitter was a bore to me.  I just don’t understand how a site about tweets could be so popular. I digress… Being unemployed gives me a lot of time to think. My baby has to go to daycare everyday even though I’m unemployed or we will lose our voucher. So I’m alone a lot.  When you’re unemployed you don’t have lot of options as to how you are going to spend your day. I...
