If you experienced it, how long have you felt the baby blues or felt generally down?

Question

Answer

The first 2 weeks were God, my hubby was home, we established routine. The next 2 were on my own and very hard. I tried to keep LO away from crowds and I think this lsolation made it worse. I've tried to get out about once a day and that seems to help bring normality to life.

Answer

The first two weeks were the worst for me and I started feeling pretty good about the fourth week.

Answer

Tl;dr
Hubs phoned it in on Mother's Day. Hormonal me couldn't keep her shit together and cried. Still hurt about it.

The day before and the day of Mother's Day were the worst for me because my husband definitely forgot about it till last minute. He asks me the night before Mother's Day at 11:30 what I wanted to do...he did make me breakfast, and gave me a card from our new son and the movie "Sisters".  Granted the movie looks funny, and I'd wanted to see it, but it wasn't what I was expecting for my first Mothers Day.

This type of thing would usually disappoint me, but I would be able to keep my shit together and I'd remember to communicate my expectations better next time. This time, I just lost it and couldn't stop crying...

I'm getting upset about it again. I'm still disappointed in my husband about it, and I didn't realize how hurt I still am. Gifts aren't one if his love languages, but they are one of mine, and he knows it. It's not about getting a flashy piece of jewelry, it's about feeling appreciated.

I try to make my expectations clear, including adding flowers to the grocery list when he shops so ill get flowers occasionally just because. We then both pretend that getting flowers was his idea.
