I think I am going to expand a bit upon last week’s tip of the week about journaling.  When PPD first hit me, I found it difficult to even look at my son.  My illogical brain couldn’t get past the fact that somehow he did this to me, made me feel this way, even though my logical brain knew that was not the case.  I remember one counseling session where the therapist suggested I think about what makes me smile, those things about my son that make me happy.  What does he smell like?  What does his hair feel like?  How does it feel when he smiles at you? 

So my challenge to you this week is this:  whether in a comment, on a personal blog, or in your own personal journal, just write about your baby?  What do you love about him/her?  What is your favorite feature?  What do they do that makes you laugh?  What are your sweetest moments?
