I'm a mommy! Mood
Sunday, July 13, 2008

My baby, Alex, was born on July 6th. 8.5 lbs. 22 inches. He is perfect!!! I am so happy I have him.

 

I have been struggling with OCD ... having thoughts about the baby. Alex is so new to me, and I feel like I'm starting over as far as dealing with my innapropriate thoughts about him ... I have gotten so much better at dealing with thoughts regarding Michael, but with Alex ... it's so hard ... he is so sweet and innocent ... how could I have bad thoughts about him? It hurts me :-(

 

My anxiety is about the same ... sometimes worse, sometimes better (the baby distracts me from it sometimes). I couldn't see my therapist this week, obviously ... since I was in the hospital. Maybe next week. we'll see.

 

I haven't gotten exercise yet. Still healing. Just a trip to Stop and Shop was too much for me. Soon, I will start walking with Alex.
