Having a Baby Has Changed My Life
Quote From: fidgiesmomThank you for your input.. I needed to get some insight as to how to deal with my situation.. I don't panic when the chores don't get done but seeing as how the little guy is motoring around alot more I have had to childproof my diningroom.. I have gotten rid of some furniture.. I didn't want it anyway and this was a good excuse to do so. I do get out from time to time but with the baby.. we do mom and baby stuff.. like go to storytime at my local library once a week and I'm thinking of joining another moms group so I can connect with other moms who feel frustrated or overwhelmed.. I felt like that in the beginning.. I had the Baby Blues for a couple of month's and I told my doctor it wasn't serious as I has suffered from depression a few yrs ago. I had taken pills for it for about 6 yrs and finally went off them.. Its been at least 6 yrs since I've been off the meds and I feel more like my self.I doing that.. Anyway I don't feel like that now and I wake up each day a little tired.. but I look forward to the day with Graeme and what we might do together.. I have chosen to stay home for the time being and I hope in the future when he is older that I will go back to my old job..For now I won't get stressed out forthe little things and take each day as a new day so I thank you for your input and look forward to any other words of encouragement.... thank you.. fidigesmom I don't know if you would be interestd in something like this, but thee is a group called MOPS (motehrs of preschoolers) who have monthly, some times twice a month meetings, where you go and hang out with mom's doing crafts, chat, devotional type stuff........ and the kids go to their classes where they get to playwith their peers. it is Christian based program and it is wonderful. You can go to their website at www.MOPS.com and there is also a group called PAT(parents as teachers), you stay with your child in interact with him as wella s as other parents and kids. There is a leader there who has organized an activity and story time. It's a lot of fun as well.
Sounds like you are doing ok, motherhood certainly has it's down times but it sure is a rewarding experience, enjoy your little one. :)
