I read that writing about the PPD and daily improvements can be helpful...
Let's see, first of all thank YOU for the kinds comments, messages, and prayers. Sorry I haven't responded personally, I get all teary eyed when I try. And I try to avoid getting all weepy. The past two days have been better. Not great by any stretch of the imagination, but certainly BETTER. I managed to get to sleep without meds the past two nights. Woo-Hoo! I'm still waking up with that crappy, I-need-to-puke-or-poop feeling. This morning it didn't come as early and didn't stay as long. I struggle to eat anything before 4:00 p.m. I forced myself to eat toast for breakfast and a sandwich for lunch. I walked twice yesterday and today, a mile each time. This morning was an adventure of sorts. I've weaned Mattie, it isn't what I had planned...it just is what it is. Evenings are when I feel my best. As a matter of fact, I feel A-OK at the moment. I'm pleased that I'm not overwhelmed with thoughts of tomorrow's struggles, that is a biggie to overcome. My dear husband came over for dinner and a walk. I miss him terribly right now, but I don't think I'm ready to handle a day full of Caden and Mattie by myself just yet. I'm getting there, though. I starting taking some herbal stuff today. It's going to help, I just know it. The first bout of this PPD lasted 5 weeks and I managed to pull out of it. So, if this second round lasts as long...I'm more than halfway through. But surely, it wont last as long. I'm betting I'm over this shit by week's end. Yeah, as I think back on it I'm doing a LOT better.
Until next time, love to you.

Hey, Whit, I'm so sorry to hear you are not feeling good. You, Wes and the babies looked so good at the Reunion and it was great to see you. You are such a great little Mother so I hope you get to feeling better really soon. Just know that we love you and are praying for you.
