Introduction

I am a new mom (my boy is 6 months old).

I have a hard time identifying with most of the first person accounts I've read online about pregnancy and the postpartum period. I don't believe I have postpartum depression, but I think "the baby blues" is too cute a name for what I do have!

This blog will serve as my therapy - a place to vent all the nastiest feelings I have. To be fair, I will attempt to provide a balanced perspective. After all, motherhood isn't all exhaustion and bitten nipples.

I will attempt to do this in chronological order, but the beginnings may be out of synch. I'm writing a lot of this from memory - new mom memory, at that.
