Description: I don't usually journal very much, I'm so bad at it! I don't talk about personal things very often either, but when I came across this photo last night I just had to scrapbook it! I feel that it was really therapeutic to journal about this pic, maybe I'll start journaling a lil more often! :)

I know my writing's a little hard to read because it's so small, so here it is:

Alex, I was just going through your baby photos, which is something that I don't often do. I had postpartum depression during the first few months of your life and had such a hard time bonding with you. When I think about that time in our lives now I feel so guilty. Once I got my mind and life together everything was perfect from then on. You are my world and I couldn't imagine life without you! Looking at your baby photos now, I almost feel like I'm looking at a totally different person because in some ways I feel like I barely knew you back then. Not compared to the way I know you now. I feel like I missed out on enjoying you during that part of your life and for that I am so sorry. Today, when I came across this photo I almost broke down in tears. Even though most wouldn't think that this is your best baby photo, it is now my absolute favorite! You were only a few months old here but the look on your face and in your eyes is the same way you look at me now. I see my wonderful Alex in this photo! The little boy who is the center of my universe, the best thing that has ever happened to me! I am so sorry for how I was during the first part of your life, but I have always and I will always love you. I love you so much my baby boy!


Wew, I feel like I didn't get to say everything I wanted to say about that subject. If I wrote everything I think it would go on for pages! That gets the basic point across though. Thank you so much for looking! :)

How could any kid not be deeply touched by what you have written here and how your love shines through. It gave me tears in my eyes (and thats never happened before when looking at los!). Deeply touching, hugely sensitive, and beautiful layout.

Wow Jill, Your journaling is so touching! I love the design and the photo!

This is so very touching... Please dont feel alone. I too suffered from Post partum depression, with my oldest. It is alot to take being a first time Mom... And sometimes it can be overwhelming. But I am sure that Alex knows how much you love him. And he will treasure your honesty here. Sometimes it is the simplest things that mean the most. Hugs~ My friend you are not alone.

16-Jul-09

What beautiful heartfelt journaling. I really appreciate what you had to say. It is so real and so touching. The love you have for your son comes through loud and clear. How lucky he is to have you for as his Mom. Really nice design and perfect title. Love it all.

PLEASE stitch a pocket to the back of this and finish pouring your heart out! alex will love seeing this beautiful expression of mommy's love when he gets older! and PLEASE don't feel guilty!!! it's not like you were frequenting the crack house; ppd is a REAL disease which you didn't CHOOSE to have!!! besides, he knows how much you love him now which is all that matters!!!
