Postpartum Depression Discussion

Hi moms! Just a quick recap from our January 21st meeting.

First, thank you to the Yellow and Teal tables for providing breakfast! It was yummy as always :-)

One of our mommas, Carin Sweeting, had her little girl, Julia, on January 20th. Julia is still in the NICU at UVA. We ask you that continue to keep Carin, Julia, and their whole family in your prayers. We hope Julia will be home soon!

Our favorite things bag this meeting was provided by the Pink table. It was an awesome bag!

We had a beautiful testimony from one of our Mentor Moms, Lee Sadler. It's hard to say thank you to what God has given us in those tough times throughout our lives, but Lee gave a very moving testimony about her struggles. Thank you Lee!

Finally, Tracey Young, one of our Moppet workers who is also a social worker, discussed her struggles with postpartum depression and shed some light on what got her through. Sometimes there are clear signs that what women are dealing with after having a child are more than just a passing phase. If you or anyone you know might be dealing with this, we encourage you to reach out to your table leader, or anyone else that you might feel comfortable with from our group. We will try to help you in anyway we can!

Thanks for a great meeting ladies!
