@Gabrielle thank you, I have a 2 year old, a 3 month old, and I’m 8 weeks pregnant
@Gabrielle this is my first time having postpartum depression this bad. I don’t remember it being like this with my daughter:(
You have a toddler, essentially a newborn and are pregnant... Give yourself some slack. There's a lot happening right now with lots of hormones. You have so much on your plate. What is it that you want to offer your baby?
@Mee I wish I had a bigger place for my kids and more money to do fun things. I feel bad they’ll never have grandparents either
The kids will never know the difference between a big home and a small home. Home is where the parents are. You can do fun things without spending money. At this age, they just want to be with their parents. Painting, playing with water, dressing up, learning numbers and letters, etc. If your space feels cramped, declutter. Donate, sell, toss what you guys don't use. Growing up we lived on the first floor of a two story attached townhouse. I had no idea it was small until I went back to visit as an adult. All I remember are the meals we had around the table and me reading for hours on end. My mil lives a 5 hour plane ride. She's seen our kids more than my parents who live 30 min away. My family loves from a distance and I've had to make peace with that... You build your own community, you and your partner.
@Mee thank you so much. I really needed to hear this 💕 This genuinely made my day
Honestly love. Things do get better. How old is your baby? It’s taken me personally nearly 9 months to feel I’m in a good place with being a mummy, liking myself & enjoying life again. Joy is really in the little things. If you ever would like to reach out to chat just drop me a message.
