two months postpartum! it gets better

It has been two months and a week and a half since livs was born. Gosh it seems like yesterday that I was holding my livs for the first time. Now she is getting bigger  and even more beautiful with each day. She is smiling so much, she loves it when I kiss her feet and her little hands she just starts smiling so much its agh the best thing in the world! She is finally sleeping through the night! woohooo and not just sleeping through the night but sleeping 11 hours! Yes my friends my beautiful girl loves her sleep like her mama lol. She is also looking more like me, and she still has those big beautiful blue eyes. She is such a sweet girl she loves to cuddle and loves it when I give her kisses and talk to her.


So I finally got on medication I have been on it for almost a month and I am so thankful for it! I got to leave dayton for the first time last week. We went to ikea and had an awesome time. It felt so amazing to get out again and enjoy going out of town. We also went shopping to Cincinnati all day yesterday it was sooo much fun. I am also feeling so much happier these days. I still have some anxiety but its getting so much better. I know that I had a really rough time at the beginning and at times I was so scared that I wouldn't get through it, and if there are any other mamas going through postpartum depression or anxiety after birth there is no shame in getting on medication I know I really didn't want to but I am so thankful that I did I am able to enjoy spending time with my family and enjoy going out and doing the things I use to. I am completely healed up from the c section and working out again! We got a treadmill so I try to get on it every morning. I am also getting some zumba videos so I am so excited about that. I have lost all the weight and some. Its a challenge but I want to get healthy and I don't want to pass down or bad eating habits to Olivia. So overall we are doing really good lately!







We also re did Olivias nursery because I really wanted a couch to have so we could hang out in her nursery more, and when people come out to visit the couch pulls out into a bed! So thats super awesome. I will post pics in my next blog!

  1. Glad you got on medication for pp depression. I wish I had done it too, though the circumstances I was in was hard any way. I doubt medication would have changed much.
    Anyway, you look awesome for "just" giving birth. Keep up the good spirits!
