Maybe because our kids are so close to yours in age, but going from 1 to 2 certainly didn't feel like a small step, it was real tough at the beginning!Attilanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386339698166187133.post-65760139088591819542011-04-27T20:59:17.701-04:002011-04-27T20:59:17.701-04:00I didn't have a clue about blogging until...we...I didn't have a clue about blogging until...well, this year.

I agree with you about wishing more women would be more open and honest about their after birth experiences.January Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539860749434822861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3386339698166187133.post-71844797455404425402011-04-27T13:21:39.681-04:002011-04-27T13:21:39.681-04:00You have a way of saying in words what so many wom...You have a way of saying in words what so many women probably feel like after having children. I had PPD after both sets of twins, but probably the worst possible case of it after my 2nd set of twins. <br /><br />And, yeah, that feeling of spiraling out of control and not being able to ask for help....or not even knowing how to ask for help is scary.<br /><br />Thank goodness for your dad who was willing to come to your rescue, even just one day a week. I wished I would've reached out and asked for help. I let it spin too out of control to the point where things got super scary.<br /><br />So happy you've shared your experience here on your blog! My blog was my saving grace for quite some time when I was going through it. I wish more women would talk openly about this!Helenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10743718606624231459noreply@blogger.com
