[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Going back to work after having my second kicked my butt for awhile--and it turns out I did develop post-partum depression.

The illnesses can be worse the second time around, as there are more people to get sick and likely less leave built up to cover it.

You recall that time as a blur--think a bit harder about what it was really like, and cut your friend some slack. Cancelling repeatedly because the baby is sick seems within the bounds of normal in the first few months back to work.

Hang in there with her. She may yet emerge from the fog.[/quote]

She is one of my favorite people. I would love to help out if I could.

I once remember she offered to watch my kids so DH and I could have a date night. We had just moved to VA and she was a savior. She was definitely part of my village. I wish I could somehow repay the kindness if she would let me. When I was pregnant and nauseous, she would take my 2 kids to the pool.[/quote]

I'm the PP here--you sound like a good friend. Why not offer to drop by with food? Or text her funny memes, that sort of thing. That always helped. [/quote]
