Up and Down


I dont' remember feeling like this when Kacy was born!!!

One minute i'm fine happy my normal self the next minute i'm crying my eyes out or getting so stressed and feeling so low, is this normal? when will this end?

I don't feel like i'm bonding with Kira as well as i should even though i'm doing everything, all the night feeds and day feeds, i'm cuddling her kissing her, but still feel like their is something missing and i'm not sure what.... Maybe its cos i keep thinking of how i felt when Kacy was born and how i feel about Kacy, I feel in Love with Kacy the minute she was born well before she was born, I bonded with Kacy when i was pregnant with her, but i didn't to have that bondness when i was pregnant with Kira (does that make sense). Am i thinking about it to much???? I know Kira is totally different baby but something just seems to be missing.

She has already stayed at my parents twice once last week and again this week, the first time is cos i was so tried looking after her and Kacy i just couldn't cope, this week was so i could spend some quality time with Kacy.

Can anyone put any light to this please

I felt really up and down too. In fact I'm just starting to feel like myself again. Its normal to get the baby blues, and I think its probably even worse when you already have one young child to look after. If it doesn't go away tho, maybe talk to you doctor about PPD? I dont know if that is how you are feeling, but its kinda how I was. Like I would cry for no real reason at all, get anxious, just didn't feel right. Try to get some rest (I know thats nearly impossible), and if you need nights when Kira stays at your parents, enjoy that they will let her. I hope it gets better for you!

(PS my best friends name is Kira! The only one I've met that spells it that way too!)
