(although real jewelry is nice too...)
Tears:
My estrogen levels are going crazy after having a baby. All good and normal. My doc warned me (and Lance) that I would probably find myself crying at the strangest times.
I've only had one big melt down and I was in the shower...one of my favorite places to cry...and cry I did. I cried and cried. I have never been great at asking for help and it overwhelmed me the amount of help I am needing and having to ask for...pride and my independent nature are strong...it is humbling.
Other than that I have cried mostly for happy reasons. A good moment, a kind word, a familiar face...these are the things that bring tears to my eyes.
Jewelry:
I found something I adore.
how stinkin' cute is this?

Sit and cry and when you are done, feel relieved that it was released and continue doing whatever it is you were doing. I cried in the shower too :)
It IS normal to cry but when you feel like it's out of control, that would be the time to call your OB's nurse line.
So far I think you are doing wonderfully! Never be afraid to ask for help.
Praying for you!
Oh, the tears. The tears and tears and tears. And overwhelmed feelings. And tears.
And PAIN MEDS!!! :D
Being surrounded by people is the very best thing (I didn't even want to think about being alone for longer than a couple hours for the first month). The great part - people LOVE to help. Nothing more fun than welcoming a sweet baby and taking care of a new, deserving mama.
The feelings of helplessness and complete overwhelmnation (??) will subside, I promise. Don't feel bad for feeling them. And for heaven's sake, cry!!! Oh man, if we couldn't cry...what would happen to us? I think I'd explode.
SO VERY happy for you guys. Beautiful boy, powerful name, happy hearts :) I tried to comment on your FB album but couldn't. I just LOVE the pic you posted of the two of you on here.
CONGRATULATIONS AND HUGS!! :)
The Siehs
SO darn cute!
I would cry...mostly because I wanted to capture the moment in time. A time when I felt like life was so special, that I didn't want time to move on. I just wanted to stay there in the middle of the night and look at my sleeping newborn forever....
or at the National Anthem... ;)
I cried at everything. EVERYTHING. Commercials...etc.
Love the necklace!
Yes Jamie! cry away in the shower! I too find it the best place to let go and let God sooth the tears! I love you sister and am prayin' for you!
I'm a shower crier too, cute necklace!
