i got on prozac for my post partum depression last tuesday. it's not supposed to kick in for another three weeks but i'm trying my hardest to 'bond' with her. im still not feeling it though.
i filed today for child support. evelyn is entitled to 18% of whatever income kevin makes. which at the moment is zero but evelyn gets her back owed child support that will accumalate by the time kevin gets his tax return. also, i filed for kevin to have no visitation rights seeing as he didn't want to arrange a visitation schedule with me OR the case worker. so now that this is all done and over with (until we go to court anyways) i feel like a great big weight has been lifted off my shoulders.
sooo how are all you preggos holding up?? :]] ↓

Check into that tax return, you may be entitled to all of it.
I'm glad to see you're getting things going for you and your sweetpea. Men think if they don't visit, they don't have to pay. Hah, well the jokes on them. Make sure you make notes of any comments and conversations from him. Especially any evidence, make him look really bad in front of the judge.
Don't worry too much about bonding with your baby. For some it takes time. She know you love her. Don't try too hard, just let it come naturally. It isn't easy with everything else that is going on as well. You've been blessed with the most beautiful precious gift in the entire world and I'm so happy for you. ↑ |

that's great to hear nikki! you're hoping for a girl, right? i hope once the prozac kicks in, it'll knock out all these weird thoughts and free up my mind some so i can bond with her. it's so weird to be the sole protector/provider for something that you don't feel is yours.
daisy, i'm pretty sure that by the time his tax return gets here she'll be entitled to allof it and then some. along with her getting 18% of his income, he has to pay half of all her medical expenses. her first doctor's appointment cost me $300 out of pocket because her insurance hadn't started yet. so he's already $150 in debt. i didn't think that trying too hard to bond with her would actually hinder the process. but it makes sense. i try sooo hard though because i want to feel that motherly love but i just dont. and thanks for reminding me about saving his conversations. i saved the emails between him and the girl he cheated on me with and let's just say that after the judge sees how vulgar and obscene he can be, he won't allow him to be anywhere near a child. ↑ |

i think a lot of women have problems bonding with their child and they just dont confess

| Hey Mallory. I just wanted to let you know that you're still in parenthood survival mode at this point. I didn't even start to feel human again until Sophie was about 6 weeks, and between 2 and 3 months, when she started smiling and getting a personality, the bonding truly began. It's really great that you can just acknowledge what's so for you - that alone can help ease some of the burden. Being a mom is the most difficult, scary, and wonderful thing I have ever done, and I'm sure you're doing a wonderful job - otherwise you wouldn't even be concerned about your feelings:) ↑ |

| oh thanks mara! i just feel so depressed with how big of a change it really was and on top of that i didn't feel like she was mine. i'm glad to know theres a light at the end of the tunnel. i even feel weird calling her by her name. the whole time i was pregnant i never acknowledged her in my belly either. i never talked to her, rubbed, or sang to my belly. i'm hoping by three months i'll feel different. i can kind feel 'something'. just a faint spark if you will. so i know there's some hope :]] ↑ |
