I was really blessed to not have any post natal depression, but I had some during my pregnancy as I was just THAT sick during. I can only imagine how hard it must have been after! Wow. Well done to you for pulling through. I love photography, and do it for \’the fun of it\’, and I\’m rarely without at least one camera on me. But currently my favourite photos are of my baby\’s birth.. (non graphic!) and obviously I didn\’t even take them! Thanks for your blog – I enjoy it.

Tracey, it was good to hear your story. Now in the honeymoon of my second trimester, I can look back on the first and realize that I trudged through many similar emotions and feelings. I think one of the turning points for me was a friend who came over and let me know she had gone through the exact same thing. I then realized I wasn’t losing my mind and that I was experiencing something others had also experienced.

Your two journals look wonderful. I believe so strongly in the practice of cherishing the everyday. And I have a dear friend who is about to pop! I’d love to share one with her.

You have a beautiful story. By sharing your story, you help women to realize that life isn’t always going to be “picture perfect”. It’s the struggles in life that make us strong, proud, confident and grateful. Thanks for sharing…

I am expecting baby #3. I am scheduled to have a c-section because I had to have a c-section with my first baby. I know what to expect…and I know that it will take Time Time Time to feel like my old self again. I am working hard now to finish all of my little projects. Motherhood comes with such a whirlwind of emotions. Thankfully I have always taken pictures along the way! I\’m also continuing to pursue my passion for photography even now. I hope to purchase my first DSLR this winter. I want to take some classes about photography.

Your story is so true for many of us. Although, sometimes I am not sure if the fog ever lifts–life is so full of ups and downs the trick is coming up out of the downs fast enough!!
