Hi phaset. Your life does sound pretty darn overwhelming right now. No wonder you feel frustrated. In my experience, there isn't a person in the world who is not overwhelmed with a new baby in the home. They are precious, they are a delight, and they also leave their mom and dad exhausted! And often depressed. And anxious. It sounds like your in-laws were of no help at all and putting up with them for a month...yikes

I'm really glad to hear that both you and your wife are seeking help for your depressions. Good for you!! Do whatever you have to do to get the help you and your family need.

Your kidney problem is no doubt a huge stress, physically and emotionally. I truly hope your CT scan brings only good news. As for switching doctors, do it! Remember, you've hired your doctor and just like any employee you hire, if it's not working out go ahead and give yourself permission to take care of your health and make the necessary changes.

Best of luck to you...seems to me you're doing all the best things. And remember - 6 weeks is often a rough time for an infant as it adapts to the world. Honestly, by 3-4 months things generally smooth out as far as food and such.
