Post-partum depression?

I don't like this new Gap commercial with Audrey Hepburn in skinny black pants dancing all around. She was too skinny anyway, and now she's dead, and they shouldn't be using her skinny corpse to sell pants.

Being that I'm a temporary stay-at-home mom with unhealthy tendencies, I've been watching WAY too much television this past month. It's been a month since this little boy came out of my body and into my life, and since then I've been living in a small box in northern Virginia, not wearing a shirt (what's the point?), and watching TV. I would watch more movies, but I hate them, plus we lost the DVD remote somewhere.

Apparently Julia Louis-Dreyfus' dad is a French billionaire. Her brother used to be president of Adidas. The "Prime Time in the Daytime" programming on the TNT network is targeted at women losers. You can tell because all the commercials are for douche and night school. 'ER' is very poorly written after about the third season. If all TV could be as good as good TV, then I wouldn't feel so guilty about blowing out my brain on all this TV.

For all you people that think I should be paying attention to my baby instead of eating cookies and watching TV all day, I DO. He's only a month old, his attention span isn't conducive to Baby Einstein and flash cards, no matter what childrearing knowledge you may have gleaned from "Meet The Fockers". I'm making my baby fat and stupid on purpose, so he'll fit in.

When my mother-in-law came over tonight to hang out with the kid, I took the liberty of going to the store to replenish our unhealthy food collection. My husband has strict instructions to hide all the cookies after I go to bed, because if they're in sight, I'll eat them all. Nursing really takes it out of you, and it's so much easier to just grab a cookie than make yourself a salad. Although I suppose it would be just as easy (though less euphoric) to grab an apple.

Egon Spengler was the cutest Ghostbuster.

I'm really, really at my wit's end.

Going out for walks might help break the monotony. Strap on the baby bjorn and hike it up!

These are interesting days on Killoggs with all of us starting to grow up and spawn.

Here's an idea: Lets put money down on the next killogger to get knocked up. My money is on Abby. Any takers? Come on, this could be fun.

    I think Jake will be the next one who is pregnant
      rick [email] said at 9:58 AM 09-15-2006:
      Jake and Bibbly will get with the same lady and no one will know who the real father is. A judge will order them to raise the child together and we will have an uproarious remake of My Two Dads.
        dave [email] said at 10:23 AM 09-15-2006:
        i think I prefer, they double team some girl one night while exploring their own male desires. the women becomes pregnant with twins, one of the eggs fertilized by Jake, the other by Bibbly.

dave's got the right idea. it's really important to get out of the box at least once a day, even for just half an hour. where do you live in NoVa?

Funny responses from the high schoolers.

And two serious ones from adults.

Being at home with a newborn is some very difficult shit -- even without depression. It is not like having a pet. It is not like having a job you kind of don't like.

Get the grandmother over as often as possible.

Put the baby in a front carrier or stroller and walk, walk, walk.

Eat cookies if you need to. Just don't eat them instead of the healthy stuff.

Hang in there. Maximum difficulty is coming up, then it gets easier in little, tiny pieces.

    i love the nerdy boys. especially if they're gangly and bespectacled. being the smartest one in the pack helps, too.

    i'm in falls church, btw. so you're coming to dc to visit? i have to get mary to tell me when this is going down so's i can give you a big hug and say hi, lady!
      amy [email] said at 2:33 AM 09-23-2006:
      hate to be the happy just get out and walk voice, but if you really are not feeling any joy over the baby you need to get yourself to the doctor. it is perfectly normal to be an exhausted, exasperated, bored, topless, cookie eater. BUT... if you also aren't feeling some connection to the baby it is very serious and could rapidly become more serious. If anybody who actually has access to katie is reading this please make sure her husband knows she is feeling this way and that she gest some help. sorry to pop in just for the baby talk but don't let this crap go on longer than necessary. Baby blues is very common. Major postpartum depression is common. You should have your 6 week checkup soon, tell your doctor.
