I told myself I wasn’t going to “get” the baby blues – as if it was the common cold or something I could avoid.
Rather, here’s a half dozen memorable post-baby weepy moments:
1. The day my mom went home.
2. When my husband, in asking what I’d like for lunch & I said shwarma, brought home cabbage rolls in a styrofoam box oozing of red sauce.
3. Feeling badly for being ungrateful for the cabbage rolls.
4. At 3am, when I realized “this” wasn’t what I signed up for. (Or at least I hadn’t read the fine print in the What to Expect book).
5. Just before e-mailing my husband the consent form to leave the country with the baby.
6. Driving aimlessly around Calgary attempting to lull baby to sleep, while eating McDonalds and coping with sleep deprivation. (Crying & driving while sleep deprived is dangerous.)
