I was hit so hard with postpartum depression. The first four months of my sons life are a blur and I honestly had days I wondered if I would ever love my son. Becoming a mom was not planned and I had a traumatic birth that left me with a lot of long term injuries.

Long story short, I wanted to let you know that it DOES get better. After months of physical therapy, ptsd counseling, and medication, I now love my life as a mom and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. My son turned one last month and I cannot imagine life with out him.

Postpartum depression is scary and it robbed me of the first few months of motherhood but I refuse to let it take anymore.

Life does go on and you do find a new normal. And loving my Maxwell is the best gift ever.
