Blues
She hit the wall today. Mrs. Molly officially has the baby blues, it has been brewing for awhile, but today everything just boiled over.
BB seems to have developed colick (sp?) It's not bad, it's just she doesn't like to be put down for any length of time. She also has a hard time burping and farting. But, when BB does let the gas out she sounds like a Frat boy. It seems at times like I'm the only one that can calm BB down for any length of time. This is what started the blues, now she feels like a rotten mother. She also feels bad because this is it, the last child, no more kids, an end to her milestones in life. Then there is a part of her that yearns to feel the attention she received from me during that last part of the pregnancy.
I spent the majority of today reassuring Mrs. Molly that she is important, she is a great mother, and that she has plenty of milestones left in life.
I don't blame her for feeling like she does, I realize it's chemical, as does she. I don't even mind it really, she's a good woman, and I love her with all my heart.
It will get better baby......................I promise.

:-( You two are pros at parenting so my suggestion of mylicon is like *DUH*.
I just send lots of love to you both, PPD is never easy to deal with and colicky babies just... Just be the good hubby you're being and send her to take a hot bath or shower for some alone time.
(((hugs)))
