Leaving the house and being out and about all day doesn't alleviate the postpartum depression.

I know some people are wondering, "well, just leave the house and join groups and do this and that and you'll feel better." I wish it were that easy. God I wish. Even with the weather being as beautiful as it is, and going for 2 mile walks every day with Austin bumping around in his stroller - it's still there, lingering.

I'm out and about so much on any given day that poor Austin doesn't get proper naps and is so exhausted, like his mama, by the time we get home around 5pm each day. I truly thought maybe just being out and about would alleviate all of this, but it hasn't.

Update: The cloth diapering is going quite well. Much better than I thought actually. My mom almost refuses to use them though (she says she'll BUY the disposables, although its not about that!). She used cloth diapers on me and my brother so maybe it's bringing back some type of post-traumatic stress syndrome for her.

Update: I'm now back to wearing my pre-pregnancy clothes, including my jeans. Finally.
