Stick a fork in me
Published by Kerry | Filed under Uncategorized
Jeff and I were getting the boys’ bottles ready tonight, and Wes was getting a little antsy. Any time he sees a bottle, he just goes berserk – which should make for a good time when we cut them off from bottles (very soon). But anyway, I was holding him in the kitchen, and he just started whining a little bit. I playfully started whining back, and Wes just looked up at me, with those clear blue eyes, and started babbling a bunch of nonsense. Those babbles then turned into, “ma ma ma ma ma”, and all of a sudden my heart was mush.
Just wait.
Jeff quickly turned around, and we just stared at each other in awe. Just then, Wes looked towards Jeff and said, “da da da da da daaa”.
I’m done.

The appointment went well yesterday. No big surprise that the psychotherapist thinks that I have PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), which in my not-so-humble opinion, is “the new black”, if you will. But, I do believe that it’s a real disorder, and I do believe that I can overcome it. The therapist talked about trying a newer psychotherapy technique called EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing), and I’m intrigued. I have my first EMDR session next Wednesday, so keep your fingers crossed.

I’m proud of you Kerry. I believe, too, that it’s a real disease, and I don’t think it’s any more prevalent now than ever before, I just think parents who have been through what you’ve been through are finally getting a diagnosis more accurate than PPD. I’ve been struggling with the decision to talk to someone, too. You’re inspiring me.

I believe it’s real as well, because I experienced it after my cancer surgery in 2000. You will get through it, and you’re taking steps to do so. Good for you!!!!!
And gosh, how cool is that that both you and Jeff were present to hear Wes calling you mama and dada for the first time!!!! Way too cool!!!! Thanks for sharing that!

Ditto Catherine. I hope you find something that helps!
That’s SOOO cute about the mama and dada! I swear they learn to melt your heart at the most opportune moments (so you don’t go off the deep end!)

Dear Wes,
I know I am a slightly older woman, but I hope we can get married some day. You make me swoon with your cuteness.
XOXOXO,
Angelika

That is so awesome aBout the first words. I can’t believe how big they are getting. They are absolutely beautiful.
Sorry for the other things you are going through! I am very proud of you for seeking out some help as I know how hard that can be. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you even if it’s just meeting up somewhere to talk over a margarita or coffee.
