Do not be Anxious

It just seems unfair that the post-partum depression screening is at 6 weeks.  I love the 6 week mark because Baby is smiling and interacting.  But 6 weeks is also the peak for fussiness, and Baby seems to never sleep.  Ambrose would sleep a maximum of 2 hours at night (often waking every 45 minutes), he would only sleep in the swing (which is a major no-no for Baby’s long-term health!), and he was just so fussy.  Of course I was anxious and depressed!  I was exhuasted!

I’ve never been good at handling stress.  I am an anxious person.  Mike often tells me that I’m going to kill myself with stress.  I’m certain he’s right.  Stress is the number one killer today. Here’s a great NG documentary on stress.

If that’s not enough for you to stop stressing, you can take a look to see what the Author of life has to say about it.
