Well.....Geez....Jess.......sooooo sorry the joke went right past ya!!!!!!1

lol its like pms for 9 months..........and then youre tired all the time and then all of a sudden your this fat woman and youve never been fat in your life and all you can do is wear those cheap flip flop canvas shoes from kmart because your feet are swollen and you are as big as a house and cant see your feet and cant get off the couch without 2 people....and every woman seems skinnier than you including the obese women.....

ohhhhhhhhhh memories!!!

Shadow,

Congratulations on the new road you and your family are living. Cool

Read and learn all you can about post-partum depression, If I have the right term for it.

Women do sometimes experience mixed emotions after the child is born, even if in previous child bearing no symptoms surfaced, it could yet be an experience to understand and be sensitive to.

It's a tough thing and I've learned that it is best to be aware of its effects on Mom and the family.

Joy and love is coming your way!!!!

I like trying to be grumpy... shame I can't sustain it...

No matter what Shadow remember this


Before you know it that new little one will be there wanting and needing mom, dad and big sister........

it is all worth it, and what is a short time period of mood swings when you get a precious bundle of joy in the end

it will get better, i promise. I was totally there about a year and a half ago. just try to be as thoughtful as possible, and try not to add on more stress. If you are feeling like you cant handle it anymore, have a night out with the guys or something.

just wait till her heads spins around.......

Right on jess It feels good to hear what you said and I need a smile right now

gypsy...don't you ever sleep..

ya I sleep.......but its only 5:52 pm now........should I be in bed???

lol gypsy, even though I may be kinda joking and laughing at some of this. I'm actually reading everthing everyone is saying and taking what i can learn because right now I need it

Im completely serious shadow

Well I think i need to give her a little space and when i can be ther I will be. I don't ask anything from her and this is not about sex for those that might wonder. I'm an effectionate person and will not change for no one. But being with someone that is going through changes so soon just after moving inwith them is a big adjustment for me.

Just go with the flow shadow.....you will see things that scare ya.......but they will wash away quickly in the Joy that comes.....

Thanks ghost and I know when the time comes it will be all worth it. just need to vent a little and it's part of growing even though I don't like it that much

ahhhhhhh you have to vent.........if you don't then you fill up with all kinds of gasses and explode like this

snuggles. I think we all been there and I'm glad I did join this site and have met wonderful friends like you. It feels good to be back and it's a place I need right now.

we are always here for you Shadow, just like you have been there for us.

You all are going through a lot of adjustments right now, but you will make it through........just vent here with us when you need to

Hi Shadow,

Remember, she is going through the stress of the new living situation, too, and her hormones are wild. Realize that as happy as you two are to be together at last, it is still stressful becoming two instead of 1, with 1 on the way. Just love her and take long walks when you need to. Peace be with you both.
