I’ve posted a lot on here about depression during my pregnancy and realizing I had PPD as well as postpartum PTSD from labor.

I wanted to thank you all for your encouragement and kind words throughout the last few months.

I started Prozac about a week ago, as well as sitting with my fiancé each day and checking in on our mental health as new parents.

Each day things have gotten a little better.

Yesterday was my first full day of “normal.” As in, normal for myself, not compared to others. It was the first day since having our daughter home that I didn’t fight with my fiancé.

I’m looking forward to continued improvement and working on myself so that I can successfully get off of medication. Prozac eventually stops working for me, so I plan on using it as just some extra help to get through this postpartum period.

Today, my baby is a month old. In two months we will be saying “I do” on a beach. And next week we will hopefully be preapproved for a home loan to buy our first house!

Thank you all again💕
