As most of you know, I've been suffering from PND for a while now, and have been on anti-depressants for a month and a half.

Things have been getting better for a while but I haven't really had any serious "bonding" moments. I'll feel random rushes of love for DS but they are normally fleeting, and my GP has suggested upping my dosage.

But today I put DS to bed and he was fussing. DP made to get up and I told him that I'd take care of it cue shocked look and a jaw on the floor and headed up. He was rolling about so I picked him up and I don't know why but I made up a story for him about a Little Prince who refused to go to sleep, so Daddy King and Mummy Queen had to go and see a wizard who cast a spell on the Little Prince.

DS went out like a light, and I came back downstairs. DP was crying. He'd heard everything over the baby monitor.

He's just told me that this is the first time he's thought "we're going to pull through this rough patch". Cue me crying too.

I feel so fucking happy. For the first time I feel like I can beat this, and I feel like looking towards the future. I FEEL HAPPY.

YAB V V V U ...don't you know some people don't even have baby monitors and this is a horrible case of stealth boasting....

No, I can't do it, not even in the spirit of AIBU - that's just lovely.
Hope there are more and more days and moments like this for you all.

awwww

I remember the first time I was coming home form work and realised I was actually looking forward to seeing DD.

TheOldestCat · 18/01/2012 21:01

That is fab. Great from you.

pud1 · 18/01/2012 21:02

Got me in tears too.

Do you mind if I steal your plot. Dd1 ask me to make a new story up every night and I am running out

StealthPenguin · 18/01/2012 21:05

Carry on Pud1! I used to have loads of ideas about stories, I made them up for my brother when he was a baby.

I've also got one where a lovely lady finds a fairy at the bottom of the garden, and fixes her wing. The fairy promises to repay her, and 9 months later the lovely lady gives birth to a little boy/girl. The fairy reappears to the lovely lady when she's holding her newborn baby and says that this is her repayment - the greatest gift on Earth.

Dbrother always loved that one.

Thanks. That's the next 2 nights sorted. She loves her stories but I am running out of new ones. She will like the fairy one as she is into both babies and fairies.
