He is so lucky to have you and Matt as parents! I'm glad you got treatment for your depression - that happens to alot of new parents and even some old parents too :-) I'll bet you got a few more farts out of the big boy lunch though - good heavens - beans, cheese, apples and cheerios? Happy Birthday to you all from all of us!Comin' To You Straight From Portlandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433598171281098351.post-91040046593995766092013-02-22T07:01:52.398-08:002013-02-22T07:01:52.398-08:00Liam says thank you :) I remember the labor/delive...Liam says thank you :) I remember the labor/delivery like it was just yesterday. It's the kind of thing that's a little hard to forget - ha ha! <br /><br />I wasn't afraid to mention the postpartum depression because I'm pretty sure there an many women out there that have gone through the same thing. It shouldn't be so hush-hush, you know? I cried and cried right after Liam was born, for like 3 weeks straight. I could not control it. Then at 6 months postpartum it just hit me like a ton of bricks. A few days after I turned 31 my life just got flipped upside down and I had absolutely no control over it. But I realized I had a problem and got some help. Thank goodness it worked and now I'm back on track and such a happy mom :) Thanks for sharing your story as well.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786853265341563694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433598171281098351.post-74484998663610464752013-02-21T19:06:18.579-08:002013-02-21T19:06:18.579-08:00Happy birthday dear sweet Liam!

It's always fun to remember the labor/delivery day on birthdays!<br /><br />p.s. Maggie and Finnegan both loved the "Peek-a-hoo" book<br /><br />p.s.s. I also had a bit of post partum depression after Maggie. We had just moved to Logan when I was 16 weeks pregnant and then shortly after I broke my foot, so we hardly knew anyone and I could not drive the car. Fast forward to after Maggie was born...I could not stop crying...I was crying when I answered the phone, I was crying when the very few people we knew would stop over, I was always just crying! Even though I hardly new anyone those people who came over during those first few months are still friends with me. I still cry (damn Nicolas Sparks ;)), but certainly not like that anymore! I don't remember how long it lasted, but I do remember my Mom saying that she was just about to fly my sister out to be with me when it sort of just stopped. I am sorry you had to go through that! I wish we lived closer. I know there was not much I could have done, but it would have been nice to be there and at least remind you that it is completely normal and you are not alone!<br /><br />anyway, happy 1st birthday Liam!<br />hugs from your utah friends!kmfmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07734273733722057968noreply@blogger.com
