XP: MH Went Back to Work Today

mrskimmieD

Today is the first day MH went back to work since the babies were born.  My MIL is coming over in a little bit to help out today and then my aunt will come by for a few hours one day this week and so will my mom.  Then I am fully on my own.  I am scared to be by myself with the two of them.

I know it is somewhat crazy because I have been handling feedings, changings and so many other things by myself but I can't help but feeling scared.  Please tell me it will all be okay.

I had that same feeling when I was left alone with my girls for the first time.  I know it's scary, but you can totally do it.  Just remember, it's okay if a baby cries for a bit.  Once you accept that fact, you'll find that you'll be less overwhelmed. 

Best of luck!

My parents were in town for the first 2 months and when they drove away, I cried!  But, w/in a couple days, we had things down pat.  You'll be fine and feel really empowered!

you are going to do awesome!!!!

take it one day at a time. don't try and be super wife and get all the usual stuff done. you are in survival mode and just tell dh to bring dinner home tonight. it is ok if a baby has to cry for a minute while you are getting adjusted or having to go pee!

breath.breath.breath and don't forget to eat something also! I remember I would go a whole day without a drink of water or a bite of food and wonder why i felt like crap
