So, we all remember that precious baby girl that I delivered (ok - assisted in delivery with) a few weeks ago....well...her mom, Jennifer is a really good friend of mine. Obviously - or she probably wouldn't have me in the delivery room with her. Anyhow -
She is in need of our prayers right now.
She is a first time mom. Single. Alone. Exhausted. And...she needs to feel the hand of God. I think that is the only thing that will really pull her through right now.
We have all been there at some point - I think. Or maybe I am just outing myself here.
Those moments of feeling so exhausted. Thinking that your brand new baby has "ruined your life"...Crying out as your newborn just cannot stop crying....no matter what you do.....
Are you with me sisters?
Or was it just me?
Well. She is there right now. And as much as I can say - I get it and it WILL get better...that just doesn't do that much.
So - please pray over her. She will be at my house tomorrow and we are going to work through this. And pray through this. Thanks ladies (oh, and Kip and Dad). :)

Been there and done that with major Post-partum depression after Jacob was born. I'm praying hard. Thanks for being a good friend to her. Friends made all the difference for me.
I will be praying!!! I've been there too!!
Sending lots of prayers!
I've been there... alone, single, with a newborn. Not only are babies a lot of work, but there's something emotionally difficult about not having someone there to share the good and the bad with.
From experience, it does get better. After a couple weeks, she'll have a routine and be less emotional. Someday she will become so very proud of herself for doing what she's doing. :-)
(((HUGS)))
Praying for your friend, hang in there sweetheart!
shutting down the computer to pray right now.
She's blessed to have a great friend like you!
I don't know how open I've been on my blog, but I dealt with this every time I have a baby. And I'm not even single. So I can't totally imagine how that must be to not have a companion.
I know that when I was in the middle of a really bad, waiting for the medication to kick in, spells...hearing it gets better seems impossible. Thinking of going on another day seems unimaginable. But knowing that I wasn't crazy, that I wasn't a bad person...and feeling support of other women who have been through it makes all the difference. And the meds-- beautiful meds!!
I only wish I was closer to bring her a meal, take her baby for a few hours, and give her a really big hug. Sounds like you're doing that already. Just wish there were 10 of you to help her.
Thanks for the post! Passing on the prayer.

Soooo been there...twice. I will be on my knees for her and you. Much love.
Have not been there because I have no children but I have been overwhelmed before like everyone else by something in life. I, too am praying for her.

Definatly... praying from GA for your friend.
If your friend has a blog you HAVE to tell her to go to my best buds blog. http://boydscrazymama.blogspot.com/
She too is a recent first time mamma and is going through all of that stuff. It might help both of them to connect with each other and yap about stuff.
I'm prayin'
