Hi everyone, well we finally welcomed baby Cody into the world on June 15. He was a 8lb 13 oz surprise. I was in labor 29 hours and pushed for 3 hours to get him out. He is a beaut. Daddy is helping out alot and everyone is well. Talk to all later and baby dust to all.

Thank you all for your warm wishes. I truly love my son.


Its a very hard time right now. He is very fussy and I have not had much sleep. I am crying most of the day from fatigue. This to shall pass.

Dear Darcie,
I am so happy for you! But if the baby blues stay, please see some one for post partum depression. Take care of yourself and your new baby boy!

Darcie,

What wonderful news!! How great - congratulations on the birth of your son!

If you're still having trouble sleeping, well, if your son is still having trouble, look into the Amby bed. It saved our lives and Duncan still sleeps 12 - 14 hours each night, just as he did from the very first night in his Amby.

Their website is:

http://www.ambybaby.com

Not many baby products live up to their advertising...this far surpassed anything said by the company or other parents. Truly remarkable. You can go from cranky sad confused mom to HAPPY RESTFUL MOTHER!!! Wouldn't it be nice to actually enjoy and admire your little miracle? I'm sorry it took us three months to find the Amby bed, but the day it came, we were finally able to love being a family...the family we always dreamed we would be but couldn't be because of Duncan's inability to sleep.

Just my two cents. I'm not one to recommend products, but I have told anyone with an ear about this. Still do...because Duncan is nearly 2 and sleeps like a champ, all thanks to his Amby bed.

Again, my sincere and heartfelt congratulations on the birth of your sweet son.


Much Love,
HeatherMac

What is the amby bed, My first child did not sleep through the night till 2yrs old. I am 8 weeks pregnate and i hope this child sleeps for me.

It's difficult to describe so check out their website:

It is truly a lifesaver and a miracle!!!!

Best wishes to you and baby!!!!

That is so amazing... I am so happy for you... enjoy these times... fatigue and all.. it will soon be a distant memory!!!!!!
Big kiss to Cody from me and Annabel

Well, well, well, I got a wicked case of postpartum, massive anxiety, and obsessive compulsive disorder. I witness tragedy at every corner and would hold Cody and not put him down. I had to go to the er one day for treatment of anxiety and had to be put on prozac and ativan. I am doing better now but very fragile and have to hire a nanny. I completely disconnected with the baby and am very sad about that. It is getting better but is a slow process. I wouldnt wish this on anyone. Cody is doing wonderful by the way.


Meg - Jul 21st, 2007 8:58 PM

Darcie,
Congratulations on your baby boy :) I couldn't be happier for you:)
I am sorry that you are going through such rough time. I will continue to pray for you and your little one that things will work themselves out, and soon enough this will all be a distant memory. Please take care and know that you are in our thoughts.
Meg

Hi 44(5).. I am sorry to hear about your PPD.. I too suffered from it... and had such a horrible time with the guilt, anxiety, lack of sleep, etc etc.

It all seems so surreal... from trying so, so hard to conceive... and being a conscientious mom during pregnancy.. and then the PPD hits... I do believe it also has to do with the hormones from our treatments... but I am so glad to hear you have hired a nanny... and that you are takin gmedication... you are all on the right path to getting better soon.

I always found that exhasution pushed me right over the edge and I kept trying to put on a braveface for the longest time... and just crashed big time one day. It was rough.. but got better ... and is luckily a distant memory now!!
Although I am very aware that when I go days without proper rest.. .I know that I need help from DH or my parents...

Anyway.. best of luck... this too shall pass and let me know if you need any moreinfo.. I was right where you are one year ago...

Darcie,

Congratulations!! I truly feel for you and the ppd. It is very hard to try for so long and all of a sudden (or so it seems) O.M.G. I wish I could say something to make it all better, but you are a strong mommy, you will get through this too. Believe me, and everyone else here, that when you put your mind to something.. dreams do come true.

Best wishes, hugs, and kisses to Cody!

All my love, cassandra


JasJulesMom - Aug 8th, 2007 12:47 AM

Congratulations on your new bundle of love.


JasJulesMom - Aug 8th, 2007 12:48 AM

I am sure you will get through this tough time. It is good you are getting help so the stress does not make the situation worse.


bdantonio - Aug 8th, 2007 6:30 PM

well i hope your baby does better sleeping then mine my daughter is 2 1/2yrs old and still get up at night


Fortyfourfive - Sep 27th, 2007 12:03 PM

Hi everyone, thank you for all of your notes. I am doing much better with the postpartum depression. The thing that gets me now is low energy and anxiety off and on throughout the day and I still have a slight disconnect from Cody that drives me crazy. I will be glad when this is a distant memory. Cody is 3 and half months now and 16 1/2 pounds. Red hair and blue eyes. Darcie


cassandra - Sep 27th, 2007 11:24 PM

Wow! Cody is getting big! He must be the star of all pictures ever taken! My best to you ..45 with everything going on in your life right now, you (I'm sure) are thrilled! I'm thrilled for you also! I will definately miss all of the girls here. :(

I wish I could keep posting, but we are trying to sell our house and continue keeping mommy sane and although it has been hard I wouldn't trade this hardship for anything in the world. We are blessed and this has made our live's worth something besides ourselves and for that I'm extremely gratefull. I think I spelled that wrong.

Anyways, ladies to all whom are trying , my best wishes and hopes that all of your dreams come true (just be carefull what you wish for ;) To be honest, having multples is something so wonderful and exciting but noone ever really could tell me how it would be....untill you give birth. I love my children and am looking forward to their future. I will miss logging on to this website. My momma bear is now a momma herself, so I really think I should bid goodbye. I love and feel for everyone logging on and may babydust touch you all my sincere and heartfelt thankyou to everyone ( you know who you are) God Bless.

Darcie
Just wanted to offer a Congratulations on your baby boy. I haven't been on this site in quite sometime, but I remember your support during the trying times and was happy to hear of your success. I too had a baby boy this year in April. I understand the ppd- although I was fortunate for mine to last only a short time, but what an awful time that was!

I hope you continue to improve and hang onto these moments with your little one as I'm sure you already know, they fly by quickly!!

Sincerely,
Shannon
