  I'm a little bit tired and still trying to get into the new groove, but I love every minute of it!  I can definitely understand feeling like you're overwhelmed and need time alone.  DH is a teacher, so I can always call on him for help.  Good luck!  :-)

  those are normal feelings. having a baby and being a 1st time mom is a HUGE life change. you will get into the groove of the new life of a mom.

  things have changed but in time you will enjoy nights out with DH/SO and/or friends.

  i go out once a week with friends... and we all have kids now. took a while but we all LOVE our weekly girls night.

  I can relate to your feelings. The constant schedule combined with lack of sleep is making me a bit crazy. I haven't left the house for days. LO is almost a month old so we can start taking him out more. Everyone keeps telling me it will get better but it's hard to imagine right now.

  I know EXACTLY how you feel.  I am just now starting to feel like a normal, social human being.  It gets easier once you feel comfortable taking LO out everywhere you wanna go.  Oh BTW, I don't think we'll get any free personal time for about 18 years

  You get used to your new normal. The bigger he gets the more thankful I am that I spend so much time with him. I won't ever get this time back. Soon enough he won't need me as much. Enjoy every moment. It does go by too fast.

  I can't stand being at home all the time but other than that, I'm loving every moment with DD.  I can't wait until she is old enough to be taken around (without me being completely paranoid)!
