If you know me well, really well, you know that my friends are very important to me. Now, with saying that, if you've ever had a baby, you know how crazy (good and bad) they change you! After having Madelynn, I suffered from severe PPD (and my feet got bigger ... what's up with that??). When she was 4 months old we got pregnant with Nehemiah. After Nehemiah was born not only was I still suffering from PPD, but you throw in anxiety, man, that's just a recipe for disaster!!
I dealt with my issues by avoiding everyone but family; not like me at all. I am very much a people person; I love life and being spontaneous, even being nicknamed "Good Time Charlie" (given to me by my Paw Paw). It's amazing what hormones can do to you!
However, there is a group of women from my church who never gave up on me, no matter how many times I turned them down, avoided them, or just pretty much ignored them ... one even lovingly calling me out! =) Ladies, you know who you are and I want to first say I am sorry and secondly, thank you! You all may never know this side of Heaven how much I appreciate all you've done for me and the impact you've had!! Thank you, my friends!!
I am slowly coming back to myself ... the real me. It's a process, a journey. But I am thankful for where it has brought me!
(And yes, I still love that show ...)
