It's almost midnight. Little Homie is making those newborn sleep-noises which make him sound like a constipated Velociraptor. Or so I would imagine.
M is asleep, butt in the air, curls matted against the bedsheet, snoring lightly.
(I guess I should be sleeping too.)
As I've mentioned in previous posts, (cue violins playing a melody in a minor key,) I've been expecting Postpartum Depression to kick my ass hard. But, having this creative outlet -- and feeling validated by all of the wonderful comments and emails -- has really kept the beast at bay. So far.
So, thank you.

20 SAY ANYTHING (COMMENT):
If I am helping you in any way, than it is rewarding to me as well!
Congrats. It is a beast, to be sure. Keep on writing!
You're doing a great job, clearly. Keep up the good work, and keep writing. I love your blog!
So glad you've found a way to keep It far away. Keep at it, mama. :)
I think that if I had blogged after Bree was born...I wouldn't have had Postpartum Depression either. It does make things better.
That's great! I didn't blog when Hayden was an infant... I think I started when he was about 1.5-years-old. It may have helped though to have an outlet such as this when he was a baby... because those times are tough.
I'm glad you aren't feeling "too down"... and I have to say that I am excpetionally impressed at how much you write (and how well you write) considering you have two small children (with one being a newborn)... Good work!
aww...this too shall pass...but will still be here. blogging helped me tremendously through some rather difficult times this last year.
Isn't it beautiful when every little person is sleeping. It's glorious.
So glad that PPD is under control at the moment.
(And yes, I'm completely tired too.)
AND...I think you like getting hit on again. Trading one beast for another. ;)
Sleep....what a beautiful thing....
Tis absent in my home.
Do share your methods sometime, will you? Did you do the cry it out or something different? My 16mo old has done a 180 and isn't sleeping well (at night...nap times are fine).
Your posts are so beautiful! Happy to hear all is well in Crazy Baby Mama-ville
Yeah!!! So glad for you. I think my children's baby/toddler days would have been so much easier for me if I had been blogging.
PS There is nothing sweeter than sleeping children.
You are welcome!! I know PPD sucks butt.
Also! I just read kys's comment and my ppd days would have been easier too!
I'm so glad, now go to sleep! :)
I hope you went to bed after this!
Babies R Us should sell sleep! They really REALLY should!!!!
I am new to your blog and am now following. Pop on by to my bloggy blog and follow back if you would like. It is very nice to "meet" you and I look forward to following your blog!
Omigosh... I think if i'd had my daughter a couple years ago i'd be in the loony bin by now. Actually, I think I have more of a reason now to become depressed... so that leads me to believe i'm just crazy. Oh well I guess. There's worse things to be. :)

It's all you; because you know what to expect and have a great support system you are doing a lot better. Congrats :)
i had awful just awful PPD with number one and number two the only 'bad' feelings i had were guilt about NOT feeling the same warmth and love and goodness with my son (the first) as i did with my daughter. PPD never made an appearance the second time around. hope the same for you too. it makes being a mom so much easier!
We, your audience are more likely to get it than you are! The Crazy Baby Mama is a tough lady.
Smile, Secretia
