    Im in MD and feeling that way!! LO is 4 weeks old and all I feel like I do is breastfeed, I don't even wear a bra around the house because he wants to feed every 2-3 hrs during the day.

    Also in the MD group and since DH and I share a car, it gets pretty lonely

    NJ and yes, yes, yes!  It's sad when you find yourself counting down to dr appts so you have a good reason to get out during cold & flu season.

    I was like that with my first but DH freelances now and works at home a lot so it is much better. My suggestion- go out! Even one trip a day makes a huge difference. I wouldn't worry about germs if you go to a mall, etc- just put them in their car seat, put a blanket over the car seat when you are around tons of people, etc. Lots of moms walk the mall, etc to get out. Pedi offices have a lot more germs than other places!

    This time around, I also have been doing tons of projects around the house.  Organizing stuff, etc.

    I am in MD too and thinking that I might start mall walking next week! It is usually pretty quiet at the mall during the mid-morning on weekdays, so the germ threat should be reasonably low. Need to get out!!!!

    I'm in FL and remember feeling the same...try and find a baby group. I did some research on our hospital website and they provide and facilitate one. I love it...I get to communicate with the outside world and other moms. I'd also see if there is a walking or stroller group...I also do mommy and baby yoga..the internet can be a wonderful too...I'd just search and see if there's something you can find with other moms.
