Don't feel bad for complaining. I wanted a baby more than anything but I was 27 when I had him. I can't even imagine having a young one at my age now. Even at 27, it was difficult. I mean, I love him more than anything but it was hard on me. I had post partum depression for almost a year and he cried all the time. I thought I was losing it. It doesn't mean that you don't love him to death. It's just hard coping with everything. I got to stay home with Matt and it was still hard. You're working and have all the demands of motherhood on top of it. Plus you're dealing with depression. I know it must be really rough. I think you're amazing for holding it together as well as you do. I'm not sure I could cope. My nerves and patience are not nearly as good as they were at 27...I can't even imagine dealing with a baby. I love my niece to death but the minute she starts crying, I hand her back to her mommy, her daddy or her grandma (my mom) because I just tense up.

By the way...40s coming soon for both of us. Are you ready???

Love ya,
Sandy
