Baby Jaelyn
she is so precious!! everything will work out..I know it must be hard to leave her, but she is where she needs to be and you are no good to her or the other children if you are exhausted! After I had my baby 6 weeks ago I became very am=nemic and so tired and they recommended me keep the baby in the nursery overnight and they would give her bottles..I felt very guilty as I really thought I was her mom and she needed me..but as the nurses told me if I was sick,i was no good to her...I know this is a bit different but you can do it!!
Aww you look so happy!
Sorry about the baby blues. I'm sure a lot of it has to do with her being at the hospital and you going home. It is a very empty feeling (been there) but you need your rest.
Did a doctor ever recommend an anti-depressant for you? I know you are under a lot of stress and all. There is nothing wrong with taking them and you will feel better and be able to handle more stuff without being overwhelmed. You can PM me if you want :)
I hope you all get some rest and congrats again!!

Thanks for updating us, can't imagine how stressful it is for you, glad you are going home to "rest" though. - a change of scenery.
I had really bad post-natal depression with my son, and was so depressed I never even recognised the signs. Glad to know you're on top of it and so self-aware, - love the photo !!!!
