Why can't y'all

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months
I wish some of you lived around here and could work out with me or at least motivate me to get up and moving!  I've always done better sticking to a work out routine if I had a partner.  But now all I really feel up to is walking (and I don't have anyone to watch DS anyway).  I know I need to to something to make me feel better about myself.  I'm going to get in a major funk if I have too many more days inside with just DS for company and no sleep at night.  I'd LOVE to have an hour a day to go to the store or go for a jog by myself!  Maybe I'm not going to make such a great SAHM Tongue Tied

    You are going to be  GREAT SAHM!!!  In fact, you already are!  I know it's tough right now, but things will definitely get better soon Big Smile !  Try taking your DS for a walk at least once a day.  I know it's not by yourself, but it made me feel better.  Just getting outside in the fresh air helped me so much!  I was so used to running "90 miles/hour" before DD, working full-time and a full-time grad student.  It was such a hard adjustment to go from being able to get up and do anything whenever I wanted....to sitting at home on the couch or in my glider BFing all day.  But since DD hit around 2 months old, I am able to do so much more with her.  She loves the grocery store, and going places with me so I love taking her everywhere I go. 

    To get time to myself, I just ask DH to watch DD for a little while on the weekends or evenings so I can take a bath/shower, get my hair cut or whatever.  Keep up the great work you're doing for your DS!!!  HTH.

    I know what you mean, B hates going to any store.  Screams the second we go in.  He's ok w/his carseat though.

    I'd love to have another SAHM (or a working mom) in my area to walk with and stuff, but all around me are 80+ retired folks. :)

    I did get out and take a walk with DS today.  It wasn't long, but it still felt good.  It was 70 degrees here!  I'm looking forward to the 2-3 month mark.  It'll all be sooo much better when I get smiles from him and he can go more than 2 hours with out wanting to eat.  Right now he sleeps all day and only wakes up to eat.  Then he's right back down. 

    Thanks for the motivation and encouraging words!

    I'm pretty sure that southernbell82 (I think those are the right numbers) lives in the same city as you. She is over on 6-12. Maybe she would be interested in being a workout partner? You never know! She is totally sweet and I don't know how anyone could dislike her. You can also check out your local board and see if there is anyone interested.?

    HTH :O) A bunch of girls in my city are starting up a play group. SO excited! Hope the same happens for you!?
