cross post from another board:
As you know I have had some baby blues and ppd.
Thank God my mom is here until the end of my maternity leave and inlaws are here this week and sis will join me and mom next week.
Well one of my issues is feeling of loneliness and boredom and the desire to have help with my baby.
I love working and have always been a workaholic.
So I decided to work 2 extra shifts per month and hire a nanny for monday thru friday.
I thought that I wanted to be a SAHM and Betty Crocker type, but in actuality that is not me.
So I will work three shifts per week, and have a nanny 5 days per week!
Guess who volunteered to be my nanny! My wonderful mother. She did not want me hiring outside, so we are paying her 200/week!
So on the days that i am off, i can sleep, run errands, do appointments, ect. Or just hang out with mom and LO! She said she will be there for us indefinately!
Praise God!
I am also going to visit a ppd suport group once per week at my hospital as well.
Thanks for listening ladies!
