But instead of welcoming her new baby and her new life with full of joy, seems that she becomes depressed with the new responsibility as parents, which is may not as easy as she thought before. She said that she is on what it called a "baby-blues" period. But I really hope that she is just trying to adjusting her life with a new "human being" that she need to taking care from now on ...'till the rest of her life? [pheww......see what a big responsibility for parents !]. Anyway, I really have no idea on how true this phenomenon of "baby-blues" since I never give birth yet, but if having a baby is truly what you want, then why should you "pamper" yourself with this sadness period excuses ?
A lesson of life to me... Instead of choosing to follow your "mellow" emotion, choose to be happy and enjoy your life. For happiness is a decision that we make, and not an emotion that we feel. And learn to live one day at a time, better yet, make the most of this moment.
"A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones" [Proverb 17:22]

Hi Li, "baby blues" ini benar terjadi, akibat proses yang dialami ibu saat melahirkan begitu berat (baik itu secara alami maupun operasi). Jadi memang butuh waktu untuk seorang ibu bisa tenang kembali dan menghadapi fase besar di depannya-- membesarkan anak.
Baca Kompas hari ini deh (6 Mei'08) bagaimana Tom Cruise minta maaf atas ucapannya yang rude ke Brooke Sheilds karna Brooke menceritakan di dalam bukunya betapa beratnya proses setelah melahirkan dan bisa menerima.
