Baby Mom Moment

The Post-Baby Blues No One Talks About

stormy skyAsk any new mother how she's handling life with a newborn, and she'll likely admit to being sleep-deprived, overwhelmed, a little out of it. But many new Moms, although not always likely to admit it, often feel depressed, out-of-control, and guilty that they're not more in love with their brand-new bundle of joy. For many, it's postpartum depression. For others though, it's a little more low-grade, more post-baby blues than full-blown depression. You worry that life is always going to be this exhausting and confusing, and wonder if maybe you weren't cut out to be a mother.

That was me about four months ago, and I'm confessing to it now because once I talked about it more, I realized that I wasn't alone in my feelings. Now, I love everything about being a Mommy, and I couldn't be more in love with my beautiful, happy, healthy baby boys. But back then, a part of me wondered, "Oh no, what have I done?"

The Best Baby Advice For New Parents

Having a baby is scary, I know. I've had three, and each time I leave the hospital, I'm altogether certain the hospital is going to call me and say, "Whoops! You shouldn't be in charge of a baby! We're coming to get it now."

It's like the college graduation dream (the one where you're one credit short or the university calls you to tell you they're revoking your diploma), but a whole lot scarier.

And with me, It's happened with each baby. Somehow, though, I've managed to raise those babies into wonderful people. My secret?

It's simple.

Sweet Cat Soothes Crying Baby With Paw (VIDEO)

cat and babyYou know how some people just have a way with babies? They see one crying, pick him up, do some soothing magic, and all of a sudden the child you thought would never stop screaming is suddenly serene. Call them baby whisperers or what you will, but some people just have the magic touch with babies. And so it seems does at least one cat.

What the cat does in this video is one of the sweetest and craziest things I've seen in a long time. This brand-new little baby, Connar, is all fussy in his bouncy seat. Stewie the cat is making me nervous as he's got his paws awfully close to the little guy. Stewie looks a little annoyed, and I was worried he might scratch him or something. Instead, he starts stroking the baby's forehead, and funny enough, the baby stops fussing. Watch for yourself.
