Today I found your blog and I read some of your story. My Caroline (or Carrie as we call her) was born in 2011 as well.

With m...Oh dear, I know what you are talking about. With my first child I also tried to be a super-mum and because of that went through post-partum depression. Remember one thing - the best what you can do for your child is to take care about yourself. Because if you get sick and won't be able to take care about your little one - who will? Another best thing you can do for your child is to put him/her as a priority. Not the laundry, not the dishes, not cooking - but your child. All women are the same - all human beings and not robots. By forgetting that and trying to be a super-woman leads to sacrifices, and most of them will be reflected on your health. So remember - regular meals for yourself, minimum of housework and some time out without your kid - your emotional tiredness will slowly disapear.<br /><br />IrynaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4182511535752700915.post-49125795838126821942013-08-28T12:10:24.331-04:002013-08-28T12:10:24.331-04:00A very wise Lady ( mother-in-law )told me one day ...A very wise Lady ( mother-in-law )told me one day when I was stressed that I could rule my house or the house would rule me. She was right!!! The clothes will wait..get another clothes basket. Wrinkles don't hurt! The kids thought it was awesome to draw in the dust on the coffee table. Laugh with your child and the stress is lightened. Pray and the stress is lightened in the best way. I read the other day that God is writing our story and it is best to not take the pen from Him.

The tiredness, the spending time staring into space, they all sound like me when suffering from PPD (which can start at any time during the first year postpartum). You're probably thinking that it's normal first year stuff or perhaps the grieving process, but I don't think so. There's no shame in it, please talk to your doctor. If you come up with strategies for battling this, you will start to feel better. This is not what life with a baby is supposed to be, I promise. There are better days. Take care of yourself! <br /><br />BrandiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4182511535752700915.post-37885936890794908902013-08-27T19:41:59.849-04:002013-08-27T19:41:59.849-04:00Emily, Sweetheart, please find a mature, Christian...Emily, Sweetheart, please find a mature, Christian mother, or even better, grandmother, and ask her to partner with you -- even journey beside you, to strengthen your steps and put some wind beneath your wings.

You and your family and little Everleigh. I find this story very heartwarming because my name was Caroline Grace (will keep my last name private) but I was born quite a few years before. December 15, 1994 is my birthday... not sure when your little girl was born, but I see her as an angel who's looking over you and your family as well as sharing my name. She has a special place in my heart because of that. I hope you and Everleigh and the rest of your family have an amazing life, and may God be with you. xx Caroline Grace is with you every step of the way.

I have a dear friend who a lost a baby at 6 months due to preterm labor and she has had multiple miscarriages. Her losses compelled me to read up on others who may be experiencing the same thing so that I can understand the things she may be feeling but not saying. Your blog sticks with me in particular because of the love you have for God and how you have handled everything with such grace. She just started a blog and free gift program for those who suffered or are suffering a loss. http://angelheartsforever.blogspot.com/ <br />You may find it interesting. Thank you for sharing your story because I know it helps people like her open up, who are so intensely private and afraid to share. Your bravery inspires so many.
