Of course it helps that I'm experiencing many of these same emotions right now.<br /><br />I read your post on postpartum depression a few weeks ago (on phone so I didn't comment), but it was a wonderful post and I commend you on your bravery on speaking about the subject. I read it during the third week when things were still so tough and I cried all day long and it was helpful to not feel so alone. So I thank you for that...<br /><br />Hugs Wendy.Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-76022282175110097222011-06-08T04:05:09.838-07:002011-06-08T04:05:09.838-07:00A lovely post.

I can imagine that time seems to be flying by with her, so take all the time you can to enjoy it. I am also glad to hear that the move went well and that you are all safely ensconced in your new home. I know how hard it can be to move, and I am glad that you are past that point. I am also glad that getting back to work has been relatively pain free and that you are finding it easy to just slip back in to the swing of things.

I felt like a new mom and she was such a difficult kid. <br /><br />I say that, because I can so remember those first 3 months, how tough they were. For me, the toughness didn't end until she was four! <br /><br />I'm so glad Mouse is settling into her routine and that you are happy with the house.

That's kind of how this seemed. I can imagine you sitting with your little Mouse in your lap, her squealing and waving and you telling us about your new house and all that has gone on getting you guys there.<br /><br />Children are such a joy. I think of joy as something there in good times and not so good times. Our daughter is still the light of our lives - even all grown up. We wouldn't have been the same people without her. Take care and be kind to yourself - don't push things too much. Look for the joyful moments, even in the middle of the night or while little Mousie vocalizes her displeasure.
