So, to be quite frank and honest, I'm one of the very lucky few, I think 5% to 10% of the child bearing female population that gets a very bad, not so fun, case of the post baby madness. I will refrain from saying Post-partum depression because that sounds way to clinical and depressing(HE,HE) So when I found out almost three years ago that I was pregnant with my third, I cried and cried, I think I continued crying for 3 months. I was sick, fat(a good comparison would be an over-filled water balloon), and I seriously think I was the missing bird from the cuckoo nest.
After the delivery, I looked at this new precious infant, who by-the-way reminded me of Uncle Fester from the Adams Family(it was her long curly eyebrows), we won't tell her that, and decided I could do it. I left the hospital and immediately trimmed her long curling eyebrows(amazing a baby that needs her eyebrows trimmed), and decided that I would bucker down for a long ride, and believe me it was a long ride. The ride lasted for over a year, but ladies it did and does end, and I can say that I'm the happiest I have ever been and have been for a while. There is a fine line between sanity and insanity and I was walking that fine line. I can honestly say the one thing that caused my madness, was the very one thing that got me back. So for that Tessa I thank you and love you, and we will forever have a special bond.
*My cute neighbor from the old hood(you know who you are) if you read this, just wanted you to know that you're not the only one! Good luck, it will end!

LOVE YOU ANNE!! I thank you for your sweet words and know that I am not the only "crazy" one! SO great to have love and support from others!
For the record-you were NOT an overfilled water balloon - and you make some darling babies...so I don't think you should stop :) Come on, get to work! Oh wait, is Garrett glued to the tv right now like Dave? That will take some creativity to pull him away ;)
