the house of sick

Welcome to the house of sick, where all the members are sick 5 out of every 7 days for months at a time. Coughs and Colds and Sneezes, Oh My. ICK!

In emotional news, after a few months and plenty of wellbutrin, I'm comfortable in saying that the PPD has receded. The change in my life (and I can only assume in the lives of my loved ones) has been huge. I don't wake up miserable and counting the seconds until I can climb back into bed and turn it all off again. I've regained a touch of my pre-pregnancy confidence and there's a calmness and ease with parenting that I hadn't had at any time, previously.

Zane has been amazing. I finally feel like I can appreciate him. - Little guy, can you ever forgive me for being such a grouch? -

In contrast, I can hardly believe how horrible I felt before without even knowing what was going on. It felt like I was drowning in my own insufficiency... for 4 achingly long years.

Now begins the process of clawing my way back into the world of the living.
