I was on cloud nine the whole pregnancy until I had John. He didn't have colic, but he did not sleep good at all!! He was waking up every 2-3 hours to eat till he was probably around 10 months old. Then it got to at least 5-6 hours. Now thank the Lord he sleeps through the night, but right after I had him I had several months of ppd on time of no sleep. It was struggle day in and day out to bond with him, to have energy, to feel normal or even ok. I felt so alone and embarrassed to even talk to someone about my feelings. I was just trying to make it through the day. I was actually kind of mad at God. Couldn't understand why I went through pregnancy loss, and then was gifted with JOhn, but couldn't bond with him and suffered depression for months after he was here. But, during those months I drew my strength from His well alone...and I drew so close to Him. God always knows what we need. I love this post!
