I wish I could sit on the floor with you and cry. And then pick you up and make you a cup of coffee and some cookies, and listen to it all in person. I wish I could make this easier for you....

The pregnancy hormones have not gone away even though the sickness has lessened, don't forget that! Them's some powerful drugs too. And you have a lot on your plate... Hang in there. You poor thing!

I don't think that anything is harder than being pregnant and looking after little ones. The last two times I've been expecting, all I could think was 'Is it me. How do other mothers do it. Why can't I?' Plus the sickness and the lack of sleep and all the stress you are dealing with. Haven't any answers because I never really found any myself. I felt better when circumstances changed, it was as simple and as frustrating as that. I just wanted to say it isn't something wrong with you. In an ideal world we would have wonderful, warm supportive communities around us in times like this. Ho hum. Yes, it will pass and in the meantime get whatever help you can from wherever you can. Bless you. I’m so sorry. I don’t think that anything is harder than being pregnant and looking after little ones. The last two times I’ve been expecting, all I could think was ‘Is it me.

It should not take you crumpled in a heap on the floor to get some alone time, but I know that's just how it happens sometimes. I took a much needed break yesterday away from the family. I spent a couple hours in the bookstore by myself, drank some silly, "specialty" pumpkin flavored coffee drink, wrote in my notebook, perused some books and just breathed without the ring of "Mommy!!" in my ears for a while. It was heavenly. And what a treat to come home to the husband with the baby on his hip, trying to make dinner while the other two ran around in circles. He managed well enough so I said, "Well, I'll have to do this more often, then!" He nodded, smiling warily. Priceless. It sounds like a little time away, however brief will really help you recharge, a bit. Reach out to someone you trust very soon so you can take some time for yourself. I know it's hard to ask, but it will do you a world of good. You definitely need some time away, even if it is just for an hour or so.

I thought I needed medication for my depression but then, I started to sleep at night and got tighter control of my diabetes and voila! my depessed state lifted. You've been under tremendous stress it's no wonder you feel like cracking! But, the worst is over and everything will work it's self out for the best, it always does.

You have such alot on your plate at the moment. Could you maybe take a break, have an evening out with the girls now you are feeling a bit better, go shopping or do something just for you? If you're on the floor in tears you need a break. Can someone else get up with Harry so you can get some sleep? When your body is physically better and you've had some sleep and maybe a break THEN you might need to think about other ways of dealing with feeling low. I am amazed, as always, how you cope! But everyone needs a break sometimes and now it's your turn! Sending you a big hug Ella. You have such alot on your plate at the moment.
