Antidepressants, Anyone?

So my emotions have been all over the place, which is normal when you're cooking a baby in your oven. Everything is either hilarious or so sad I cry for hours. I feel like a crazy person and poor Katherine must think her mom hates her because she leaves her shoes on the floor and then I flip out.

I saw a commercial a month or so ago (before we told anyone we were having a baby, which is why I'm telling this story now) and it made me cry. Not just a quick sniff and a teary moment, but I was completely blubbering. This commercial is on all the channels practically all the time, so whenever I see it, I have to change the channel. Anyway, Katherine saw me and my fire hose impression and she came over to console me. She put her little hand on my knee and looked purposefully into my eyes. "It's all right, Mommy. Cymbalta can help, because 'pression hurts."

You know, she DOES want to be a doctor when she grows up, so she's on the right track I guess.
