Just tired & missing stuff

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I am tired. Tired of not sleeping for longer than 3 hours at a time. I miss showering, shaving my legs and doing my hair all at one time instead of breaking it down into sections. I miss when multi-tasking meant texting, talking on the phone, running around and watching tv. Now it means holding/feeding LO while trying to do something else. I miss shopping for clothes that do not have an elastic waist. I miss drinking a margarita or two or three or four. I miss not having to use a freaking sanitary napkin all the time.

I have help from family so I know I shouldn't complain but I had no idea what I was getting myself into. Don't get me wrong I love my monkey and wouldn't trade him in for anything. I just didn't know how tired I could be,

    It will get better. Slowly, but in small ways, and then suddenly you wake up and realize that you're "you" again - But with an amazing baby in tow.

    Once he starts going to bed at around the same time each night, it'll make a tremendous difference.

    I love having the day with him and he is so much fun but as the evening approaches, I look forward to that magical time - Somewhere between 7:30 and 8:30 where I know he'll be going down for the night and I can finally take a deep breath and relax.

    It'll come, just hang in there.

    Amen sister!

    I agree with everything that you said. What I miss the most is being able to enjoy dinner peacefully without holding a crying baby in one arm and trying to put food in my mouth with the other. It gets so messy.

    The only thing stopping me from loading this kid in the stroller and walking 1 block to Fat Tuesdays for a 190 Octane is the fact that I will NOT be one of those people who take a baby to a bar. Ok, I will not take a newborn to a bar - when he is 4 months old it will be fine but not a 3 week old.

    He really doesn't STTN yet either - I'm still up with him twice... but just knowing that I get a good four hours where even if he spits his paci out, he's not going to wake up... it's nice.  I can shower... involve myself in projects, etc.  That's only happened in the last couple weeks.

    I know what you mean! I am tired and missing all those things too. It hasn't helped that I am doing it all on my own too. At least I have a happy, healthy, cute baby boy that makes it all worth it. But some days a few margaritas and a nap sure would be nice!

    Remember this when you decide to have a second, lol! You honestly forget it all. Now on top of all that I don't even have time to pee without someone yelling! And eating is definitely shoving any food in my mouth while someone cries and the other begs me she wants it but then throws it out. This is definitely the most physically and emotionally demanding job I've ever had.

    Ditto this. I started crying at dinner last night an my DH asked me what was wrong. I said I didnt think it was going to be this hard, and this exhausting. He said, we have done this before, dont you remember? Nope. Didnt remember it quite like this.

    Man I remember saying this the first like 6-7 weeks of DD's life.  It does get better, I promise.  Just remember that each baby is different but wonderful!  Oh and Zoloft helps too:)
