As promised here is part 2 of my postpartum journey. I decided to switch it up and do a video blog (or vlog) this time. I hope my story helps someone and that you all are not distracted my the humongous pimple on my forehead :). As previously stated, this post is in no way an attempt to get sympathy or to complain about my journey into motherhood. I know there are women who long to be mothers and I in no way am trying to be insensitive, discourage anyone nor bemoan motherhood and all that comes with it. I am beyond blessed to be a mother and love my son more than my own life. I do believe however that being blessed and being overwhelmed can coexist. I hope this post is received with the intention in which it is being sent out and that is to share my story and experience in case it helps someone in some way along their journey.
Also, please take care of yourselves physically and mentally! If you are suffering from depression – postpartum or otherwise please seek help! Talk to your healthcare provider or search the web for mental health assistance near you. There are numerous resources some of which are only a Google search away.
XOXO,
Mrs. O
