My younger is 14m and overall I feel good! There's obviously the stress of day to day life and shit just going wrong left and right. I had a period when my cycle came back that I was seriously considering going to my OB to make sure I didn't have PPD or PPA. But thankfully once my period came, I felt more "normal".
How are you feeling after having a baby? How far PP are you?

5 months PP....burning the candle at both ends, but mentally, i'm in a really good place. Hopeful. T is sleeping better this week, I've made appts to get my back pain to go away, I saw my therapist about the craziness of having my parents over for the first time in FOREVER....exhausted but happy, I suppose 
I just wish I had time to work out so I could get the last of this weight off

11 month pp today!
Mentally, I feel great. DD got really "easy" to take care of starting around 8-9 months. I also weaned, so that was a huge thing off my plate. DD is so much fun at this age, we're on a good schedule!
Physically, I still have ~10 lbs to loose and I am SO sad about my deflated pancake boobs

3.5 months pp and I feel great! Mentally and physically, even though this is the busiest season of our lives thus far, I feel 99% capable and confident! Helps with easy unicorn babies though.

I'm 3.5 months pp and I find my mood is directly linked with how much exercising I'm doing. I'm not one for intense workouts and so by exercise I usually mean a 2-3 mile walk.
Last week we were swaddle weaning and doing some light nap training and so I stayed home all week to make sure she got every chance to self soothe and settle herself. It was a pretty rough week and I could feel anxiety inertia settling in. So this week I'm trying to be really vigilant about working out!

I'm 7.5 months postpartum and feeling really good. DD is so much fun and the days go by so quickly now that we're in a routine and she sleeps well. I go back to work when she's a year, and honestly I'd like to freeze time right now because I'm enjoying things so much.
That said, I was a complete basket case from birth to 4.5 months. I was sleep deprived, grouchy and extremely anxious about everything, especially DD's reflux (and slow weight gain) and sleep patterns. Sleep training really helped and so did solids. I also had to learn to just let things go and be confident in my abilities as a mother.

I'm 6 months postpartum and generally doing well. The baby is pretty easy by this point, though my 3 year old is a nightmare. Grouchy, argumentative, not sleeping well. So, typical for the age, I guess. But that's really the only huge stressor in my our lives, luckily.
As far as my body, it's getting close to pre-pregnancy, but I've kind of made peace with the fact that it's just different now.

Almost 4 months PP and feeling great! I had some anxiety being a FTM for the first 2 weeks and really felt like I got my stride around 3 months PP. I am feeing pretty comfortable and confident at this point. It helps that LO is an easy baby so far.

I'm 3.5 weeks postpartum and I feel so much better than I ever expected to. I thought I was going to be anxious, but I've been great since Day 1. I think having so much help the first couple weeks was a good thing for me.

11 months postpartum and I'm feeling good. We're in a groove at home and things don't seem as stressful or as hard anymore. Plus I'm not snapping at everything anymore, so I think I've gotten my patience back!
Physically, I'm still 7 lbs over pre-Logan weight (and 17 lbs over pre-Xander weight), so I'm annoyed at my lack of self-control and motivation. And my boobs are a joke. But I also find that I don't care nearly as much about my weight as I used to pre-babies (which is probably good for my mental health).

Almost 21 months postpartum with my second. I had severe PPD after she was born and I also had a 22 month old to care for (it was insanity around here), but in the past 4ish months I've finally felt pretty good and like myself, and my girls are so much easier as they get older, especially my 3 year old.

The first month was really really hard with lots of crying, mostly related to feeding issues. After that though, I've felt great! LO is 7.5 months and has STTN most of the time since 3.5 months so that has helped a ton.

I'm feeling really good this time around. I'm almost 8 months pp (what!?!??) and feel like we're all doing great here. I still don't have my colicky child figured out but my emotions are in check. I do need to lose more weight haha.

3.5 months postpartum and hanging in there. I think I had some pregnancy/postpartum depression this time but it seems to be gone. Still feeling pretty miserable because I'm dealing with a ridiculous child care-related situation, but everyone is happy and healthy so good enough!
