HOLY GEE WHIZ SHOOT
It’s taken me almost a FULL YEAR to have the energy to put “pen to paper” and re-start up this silly little blog of mine…I’ve been wanting to share the (mis)adventures of Mama Lee, but have been so physically and mentally drained that any second I have to myself, I like to turn my brain off and try to recharge whatever battery power I have left. Or stress eat…mmmmm, stress eating – everything tastes so good! Even better than when you’re pregnant…drroooolllll
So anyway, my last post “Kim Kardashian’s Butt” was from last MAY, so apologies to those readers who may have enjoyed reading my pregnancy rants. And lucky you, my new mama rants are even better! Most of you, I’m sure, have stumbled upon this blog via my Facebook page – so most of you also know the struggles I’ve had as a new mom. Being a new mom in itself is hard, but throw in postpartum depression and on some days, everyday tasks become daunting mountains to climb.
Don’t get me wrong though, I do love being a mom and I love our baby with all my heart and all my soul and my husband is my rock and a perfect hands on daddy. The Ez has been a true blessing and he completes our little family of three…he is the physical manifestation of our love, it’s incredible and I cannot imagine our lives without him. I hate that it’s so hard sometimes to separate the PPD from everything else and I don’t think other people really understand how hard dealing with postpartum depression has been, I mean, for crying out loud, I’ve threatened to kill myself (several times), my poor dear husband. Sadly society has given PPD a cute little label “the baby blues” and it sounds like, oh, she has a cold – it’ll go away…total bullshit (but more on this later!)
ANYWAY, with that, welcome back! Get ready to read the real truth about all the joys and woes of parenthood!
