I have a 6mo girl and we live a normal life. She's pretty happy but mommy (me) is going crazy!!! I haven't fit in this new life. I'm a very organized person but everything in my house and life is upside down. My baby sleeps very well and she's great but I still waiting the "click" sound in this new fase of my life. Please, let me know about any books or advices! Thaaanks!
I too, was super stressed. But I've slowly realized that not getting to everything in one day is okay too. I don't mind leaving a stack of dishes for the following day or only doing laundry once a week. I've learned to slow my roll, and I'm sure you will too.
I've found it helps to focus on what I did get done, rather than what I didn't. So if there's a stack of laundry that's been sitting in the living room for two days waiting to be folded, BUT, I showered and took the baby for a walk, that's still a win in my book! And every day we don't eat takeout for dinner is also a win!
Re: New mom - Crazy Life
People tell me this is normal, but that hasn't really made me feel better. Because I do feel like I am going crazy and need it fixed now.
Hopefully someone can give you some advice that I can use as well.
