Hi Rachel,
I'm so, so sorry to hear you may be struggling with ppd - it makes what is already the most difficult job (parenting!) that much harder. I hope you have solid, supportive people around you and a good doctor. Good for you for seeking out the help you need, I know for me admitting I needed it would be the hardest part.
I look forward to hearing how scheduling naps works for you, I've considered trying that myself. Hopefully her little internal clock will just adjust to that quickly and she'll settle into a nice pattern.
I also want to say that I'm sorry if my last post sounded preachy or like I was lecturing you, that's not how I wanted to sound, but re-reading it, it kind of does to me! I'd sort of had an epiphany about things and I wanted to share that with you, I hope the spirit of it came through. (The epiphany was short-lived - the very next day I was in tears over nap frustrations!) Anyway, just want to say that I know how difficult, lonely, boring, frustrating, irritating etc etc etc it can be, especially when you need to be "on" for an older child too (not to mention a marriage!). For what it's worth, I'm offering my support through this wacky medium called cyberspace!
Best of luck, please keep us posted on your progress if you can.
A
