Stop with the post partum nonsense ;)

You're one of the BEST mom's I know. You are my role model as a mom...I have NEVER come across someone who has more patience than you. Jess you give you all, 100%, how could you be so down on yourself?

Listen, babies demand more attention. DO not feel bad because of that, Brianna already realizes this and I'm sure it will be OK in a few months. On Stever's day off you should go out for an hour while Kayleigh is sleeping (like to the park near your home) and do a creative project with Brianna like get a huge sheet of paper from a craft store and do messy finger paints, fly kites, or even do manicures/pedicures. I bet if you did that once a week and kept up withit Brianna would be happier. You'd probably feel better too. You should see if Stever will take Brianna some place by himself too on his day off so you and Kayleigh can have one on on time too. Perhaps thats why she's so stressed out and crying so much? Both kids are fighting over your attention. THEY LOVE THEIR MOMMA!!!!

Chin up Platypus, I'll be there in just 6 days!

i know, but i never thought it would be this hard. and we are still planning on having another one! we must be crazy! i know i should go do something with just b but i'm afraid to leave kayleigh with someone in case she does wake up, she's a screamer, and i don't want anyone to get frustated with her. i don't know, things will get better soon. if not i'll just have to wait it out until she's can drink out cups and stuff. brina i love you, i wish you were here!

Steve won't get frustrated...he's a pretty calm guy when it comes to kids. He'd be more mad at you than the baby.

YOu're on crack, no more babies!!!

Two is harder than one. I hardly ever get any one-on-one time with James anymore, and it was really hard. Babies demand more attention, so they get it. But soon, they will be on more equal ground, and then you can divide attention more evenly. Just remember, Brianna had 3 full years of UNDIVIDED attention from you...she will survive :)
I still feel tired A LOT, and depressed for no reason at times...Brandi pointed out that it takes a full year for your body and harmone levels to return to normal after having a baby. It's takes a big toll on your body, you know, growing a human. It's ok that we don't feel totally up to par.

thanks lady, i know you know what i'm going through. i just had a bad day yesterday, but it meant a lot that you took time and gave me some advice it made me feel better!

yeah i dont know shit about motherhood, but i think you are one hell of a mom. it has to be really difficult with two kids, and you do a great job. and you have only been back for a few days, youre house cant be all spic and span already. ive left laundry in the dryer for over a week and i dont have kids to take care of. and steve got damn lucky with you jessica!

cheer up momma! love you. :)
