WHATEVER YOU LIKE.

I UNDERSTAND YOU

JUST HAD A BABY GIRL.

CAITLIN.

THAT'S A LOVELY NAME.

DOCTOR LIPPMAN TOLD ME

IT WAS A DIFFICULT BIRTH.

I ALMOST DIED.

CHILDBIRTH CAN BE

VERY TRAUMATIZING.

DURING THE BIRTH,

I FELT LIKE THE:

BABY WAS TRYING TO...

TRYING TO WHAT?

WHAT DID YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR

BABY WAS TRYING TO DO JAMIE?

I FELT LIKE SHE WAS

TRYING TO KILL ME.

WELL THAT IS:

UNDERSTANDABLE.

YOU WERE IN A TREMENDOUS

AMOUNT OF PAIN.

IT'S NOT THAT.

SHE UHH ...

SHE LOOKS AT ME LIKE

I'M SOME KIND OF INSECT.

I KNOW I SOUNDS CRAZY.

NO, NO, THERE'S NO

JUDGING HERE JAMIE.

SOMETIMES SHE STAYS

AWAKE ALL NIGHT.

JUST CRYING.

YEAH, BABIES CRY AN AVERAGE

OF FOUR HOURS A DAY.

IT'S THERE ONLY MEANS

OF COMMUNICATION.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

SHE ONLY CRIES:

WHEN I'M AROUND.

AS SOON AS PETER

COMES INTO THE ROOM,

OR MY SISTER:

NICOLE... SHE STOPS.

IT'S LIKE... SHE IS TRYING

TO GET AT ME... SOMEHOW.

JAMIE, POST PARTUM

DEPRESSION IS VERY COMMON,

ESPECIALLY AFTER

A DIFFICULT BIRTH.

MANY FIRS TIME MOTHERS--

I'M NOT A

FIRST TIME MOTHER.

OH I'M SORRY

I THOUGHT...

I HAD A DAUGHTER.

AMANDA.

SHE DROWNED IN AN

ACCIDENT TWO YEARS AGO.

I AM SO SORRY.

THAT MUST HAVE BEEN

DEVASTATING FOR YOU.

DO YOU WANT TO:

TALK ABOUT AMANDA?

I FEEL SO GUILTY,

HAVING THESE THOUGHTS.

IT'S JUS HARD YOU KNOW.

I MEAN... WE'VE

GOT A NEW HOUSE,

NEW TOWN, NEW BABY.

I JUST FEEL LIKE

I AM ALL ALONE.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE JAMIE.

YOU ARE GOING TO GE THROUGH THIS; TRUST ME.

HEY SWEET BOY,

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

MAKE SURE YOU PICK

THOSE MARBLES UP OKAY?

SOMEONE COULD GET HURT.

WHERE ARE YOU:

GOING ALL GUSSIED UP?

I'M GOING TO

DO SOME SHOPPING.

MAYBE GET A PEDICURE.

NOW THAT'S WHA I'M TALKING ABOUT.

TREAT YOURSELF LIKE

THE PRINCESS YOU ARE.

YOU WANT ME TO:

LOOK AFTER KATIE?

NO I THINK I'M GOING TO

MAKE A GIRLS DAY OF IT.

SHE'S GETTING SO BIG,

GROWING OUT OF ALL HER CLOTHES.

EXPAND THAT WARDROBE...

OH... GOD.... TIME FLIES.

YOU ARE JUST GETTING TO

BE SO BIG, AREN'T YOU KATIE?

MAYBE YOU COULD:

TAKE THE CAR.

SAVE ME:

GETTING A HERNIA.

SURE YOU DON'T WAN TO TAKE THE CAR?

NO I THINK THE:

EXERCISE WILL BE GOOD.

HELP ME GET RID OF

THESE THUNDER THIGHS.

THUNDER THIGHS, YEAH, RIGHT.

YOU COULD USE A LITTLE MORE

CUSHION... FOR THE PUSHIN'.

PLENTY OF CUSHION, BELIEVE ME.

WHEN IS THERE GOING

TO BE SOME PUSHIN?

WE HAVE TO WAIT.

THE DOCTOR SAID WE

COULD START BACK ANYTIME.

IT'S JUST...

...THEY'RE STILL

SORE FROM CAITLIN.

I'M SORRY.

IT'S NOT YOU... IT'S

JUST I DON'T FEEL LIKE

MY OLD SELF:

YET... I'M SORRY.

OKAY.

HELLO.

HI.

OH MY GOODNESS, SHE IS

ADORABLE, HOW OLD IS SHE?

ABOUT FIVE MONTHS.

AHH.

DID YOU WAN TO TRY IT ON?

I WOULDN'T EVEN GET MY

BIG TOE IN THAT RIGHT NOW.

OH COME ON,

YOU LOOK FABULOUS.

OH NO!

NO!

WHAT HAPPENED?

ARE YOU ALRIGHT?

I DIDN'T SEE HER!

MY BABY.

IS MY BABY OKAY?

WHERE'S MY BABY?

WHERE'S MY BABY!

EXCUSE ME.

SHE'S OKAY,

SHE'S OKAY.

OH.

SHE MUST HAVE CLIMBED OUT.

YEAH, DENVER COLORADO.

I NEED A LISTING FOR

MARIE BAPTISTE ON ST. MARKS.

I'VE ALREADY

TRIED THAT NUMBER.

MAYBE THERE IS:

ANOTHER SPELLING?

COULD YOU CHECK:

UNDER PSYCHICS?

ARE YOU SURE?

HONEY WHO ARE:

NO ONE.

HURRY YOU GO TO CHECK THIS OUT.

THIS IS SO COOL.

ISN'T THIS GREAT?

IF WE DIDN'T HAVE A

NANNY CAM WE WOULD HAVE

MISSED THE FIRS TIME THAT SHE SAT UP.

YOU KILLED ME MOMMY!

THAT WAS REALLY FUNNY.

HEY!

...THEN CHUCK ASKED

DEVIN AND ME TO:

THE WHOLE TIME HIS

THE SKIN IS GOING

TO JUMP OFF HIS FACE.
