Overwhelmed?

Is anyone else overwhelmed? I feel like an emotional roller coaster! The baby sleeps 3 1/2 to 4 hours in a row then wakes up, so I'm tired (I know we all are) and then I have stay at home work all day while taking care of the baby and I just feel like I want to cry. I then want to scream and then laugh and smile. I just feel so overwhelmed over everything and everyone. 

 

Do any of you feel the same? Is there anything that helps with your feelings?

    I went for a drive last night. LO wouldn't sleep for more than 30 minutes at a go and was majorly over tired. He was also super clingy and cranky and by 10, I just wanted peace. He fell asleep before I got out of the neighborhood. I kept driving. He slept and I drove and after a little bit, the tension eased out of me. Unfortunately, when I got home, he woke up raring to go. But, he was easier to coax back to sleep.

     Once access starts up, I'm planning on reading, gaming, taking DD to a movie or LaserQuest... I'm really looking forward to that two hours to myself.

    Sounds about right.  DD just started sttn a few months ago.  I don't miss the every 3 hour wake up calls.  Long hot showers worked for me.  I still take a nap when she naps in the morning if I can squeeze it in.  She is trying to drop the morning nap but I am holding onto it with all that I've got. ;)  Good Luck.  It will get easier... at least that's what i'm hoping.

    Have you talked to your OB/GYN about these feelings?  You should.
