I have a list of things to occupy me but since most of them are physical I have to wait until I heal a bit more before diving in. They include p90x and doing a triathalon. Until I can start physical activity again, I am occupying myself with working. I feel pretty emtional alot of the time but I know that only time and finding a way to fill the void left by the end of the pregnancy will help that.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15051454289335131940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768255430313833372.post-26947047592736231762010-12-08T15:02:56.254-08:002010-12-08T15:02:56.254-08:00That list is a great idea.

I too went to Vegas with my husband shortly after the birth of the triplets and it helped me get back into wifey mode so much faster. I was just so thrilled to be able to be a mom again that I think staying busy with my boys helped me surpass all of the depression after. However, now that things have settled down and life is back to normal I am feeling like something is missing. I don't think these feelings ever end, but the way you handle them is the most important.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04283782649412932548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768255430313833372.post-61902053633064201772010-12-06T11:27:07.036-08:002010-12-06T11:27:07.036-08:00Both of my surrogate deliveries were followed by a...Both of my surrogate deliveries were followed by a pretty significant life change that I *really* do think helped me past the 'now what do I do?' stage. Surro #1 I ended up getting separated during the pregnancy and filed for divorce 5 days after giving birth and moving to another state shortly after that. Surro #2 I had just started a new relationship 3 weeks before my transfer and I was looking forward to nurturing that relationship withOUT being pregnant with someone else's child.<br /><br />I do think that if you have something to plan/do for the first bit after the birth it could help. I Love your list!!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09803346666289171333noreply@blogger.com
