A baby boy causes depression for moms?

If this is true, then I am glad as I am having a baby girl. My husband worries about me having a severe postpartum depression after I give birth to our angel. I do always tell him not to worry. I will try to hold or handle it. We will, with his help. So far, this doesn't affect me as I haven't heard from new moms (friends) about this. I hope I won't.

I was checking my e-mail and found this information on the main page of MSN. Please click child's gender factors into postpartum depression to read the whole article of Lisa Farino.

Hi Lira! Ofcourse you know that I have a baby boy. I agree with Meg, it doesn't matter if your baby's a girl or a boy, its just the same...Just want to share my experience as a brand new Mommy. I have had my postpartum depression for about a little over a week only. It was hard at first, you know sleepless nights, I just cry alot. But with the comfort of my very loving and supportive husband, I managed to overcome my depression...And ofcourse, I always have the "heart" of being a Mommy, so its easy for me to do everything for Daniel.. Seeing his face, holding him, made me feel better too, and made me the proudest & happiest Mommy ever, hehe!
Enjoy your pregnancy, take extra care...

Her 4th trip to Brec's Baton Rouge Zoo

Image
A rotating globe fountain awaits guests few meters away from the main entrance. The lil one was talking to one of the many tigers in the zoo.  One of the biggest fish aquariums in the zoo.  @ the zoo's playground.  The best amongst the activities in the zoo, the train ride.  Had trouble with the lil one when the train stopped.  She didn't want to go home yet and just wanna have a ride again. Taking picture before the train ride. Fell asleep on the way home. Exhausted she is!

Ranks, money, trip and more

Been waiting for SS to update my ranks for quite a while now. I already sent a ticket few weeks ago. Customer love said it's gonna take a week for my account to be updated. So alright, it's been almost three weeks and still have the same status -- NOT RANKED! I wonder what's with SS lately why it's taking a century to respond? I am just in a hurry to earn. THe more money I make, the more amount to spend in the Philippines. The trip is forthcoming. Two more months and I'm in the plane with hubby and the 'lil lady. Hubby doesn't have that huge budget for the trip. Just imagine how much it cost if three people are traveling. Well I guess it's better to say two adults with a 19 mos. old infant. To sum the tickets plus taxes, hubby paid around $2600. Too bad coz after a week, I saw a cheaper price online. He could have saved $300 if he waited. On the contrary, purchasing tickets online can't be pushed through. Hubby's bank has a limit of $1500 on

Hubby's new hobby

Image
This is one of hubby's output last night. He's been playing with photos, customizing 'em into different scenarios and themes. The backgrounds are available, he just pasted a photo or two then customized it to his desired location and all to fit into the space. I forgot the website, though. Being a computer buff and watching sports on TV are hubby's tiny flaws, minor flaws that ain't causing a fire between us. When he's not working or doing yard work, his butt is stuck on his computer chair, browsing websites that sell knives. So now that he's into this fun photo customization, it doesn't affect me. It is better this way than spend his time in night bars and drink and smoke. Back to the picture, that's exactly the role of the 'lil one. Ain't no telling but she is the boss. One day, she'll be kicking me off this house lol. Of course, I am not allowing her to be that disobedient and disrespectful when she gets older. Discipline and prayers a
