I'm a rock star because...

mrsbhk22 · October 2012

Insert your rock star credibility here.

There has been a lot of "tell me I'm not a bad mom" posts this week. We all feel like crappy moms sometimes. Instead of complaining, I'm trying to focus on my positives. Here is mine:

I'm a rock star because I've taken a shower every day since DD was born. This is a HUGE feat since I have two other young kids too. I feel sooooo much better after a shower though so it's worth it to be a priority.

...because I gave Nola a bath by myself today. She cried still but at least I didn't pour water in her mouth. I feel a little liberated not having to rely on DH to help me! Maybe she'll start getting a bath more often...

My kid POOPED today! (I posted yesterday about constipation issues.) Dr had us try 1/2 ounce of white grape juice and it worked. I seriously cried I was so happy!!My DH took a picture--he was laughing so hard at my cheesiness.

I'm a rock star because:

I simultaneously wore DS, fed him, and vacuumed the house. I'm getting my mommy sea legs, finally! lol

numb3rMel · October 2012

Ah AW'ing ourselves. I love it!

I'm a rockstar because I finally figured out H's "reset" button and I've been able to complete her nursery projects complete with sewing, hanging, cleaning etc! So accomplished this week.

Oh and I'm more at peace with a happy baby.

I've finally been taking DD "out" other than family members houses and doc appointments all by myself! I've been wearing her and she does great. This week we have been to the pumpkin patch, target, Walmart, the bankinside to set up a new account, city hall...we're goin places. And even when she cries I don't have anxiety like I did at first. I was horrified at first to go anywhere! I have also been NIP!

GinnyJ2012 · October 2012

I got Jackson to sleep in his PNP long enough to shower fix my hair and make up! We went to the mall and target without DH. Still working on NIP so I used the dressing room at motherhood maternity. Ive lost 36 lbs and my jeans zipped and my rings fit again! Oh and I got a sling today! Can't wait to use it!

mommy510 · October 2012

I am a rock star because I have started getting out of the house with my newborn and toddler this week. I also NIP for the first time ever. And I am wearing all my prepregnancy clothes! Some things fit better now than they did before.

I'm a rock star because

I got my 5 8 year olds off to school early enough to walk so I could push the stroller and enjoy the scenery. They left the house with full tummies not a rushed breakfast like a pop tart not today anyway and when they got home we had homework done, baths and dinner all done by the time DH got home.

Also, I've learned the baby well enough that when DH comes home and spends time with him, I can tell him exactly what's wrong with the baby and what he needs so he will calm down just long enough for DH to keep him a little longer while I insert whatever...use the bathroom, shower, etc. DH looks at me in amazement when he can't calm the baby down and I can get him to calm down immediately either by taking him myself or just telling DH what he needs at that moment. It's a great feeling if accomplishment.

... because I ate breakfast today!

I have a lot of trouble with this because there's so much to do in the mornings, especially school-day mornings (Tuesday, Thursday). But I'm diabetic so it's extra bad for me to not eat for so long. I'm trying to eat every morning and today I actually did!

mscheevus · October 2012

I took the boys to the mall by myself! And I even breastfed them in the car (took a moment to think of a technique)

mavs41 · October 2012

I NIP today!!!! I know this is a regular occurrence for some of y'all but it was my first time. I had dinner with some friends, I fed him right before I left and thought he'd be fine so I wore a regular bra and tank. But halfway through dinner he got hungry and so I bit the bullet. Luckily I never leave home without my cover and nipple shield.

I also scheduled appt with LC for some help weaning from nipple shield. First i called insurance to see how much it would be since I hadn't received a bill from my last appt and i found out LC services are covered 100%! I wish i had realized that sooner.

Par13 · October 2012

I took DS to the grocery store by myself! I wore him it went great. I finally felt like I can survive errands when DH is at work.

boo-bitz · October 2012

Because I am recovering from a csection, taking care of a newborn who is recovering from pyloric stenosis surgery, all while taking care of my 4 year old while Dh is working 7 12 hr shifts... Boo yah!

Bighair12 · October 2012

I'm a rock star because I have worked out now for 10 days straight, NIP while walking around at a park at the end of my husbands marathon, and am in general getting the hang of this mom thing I think.

BPer · October 2012

I am a rockstar because DH has come home every night to a spotless house, clean laundry, and a happy baby. Now to throw in a home cooked meal every night...

Also, I've showered, put on makeup and done my hair every day since we've been home, even if I'm not going anywhere. I feel a million times better when I'm put together.

melody921 · October 2012

I've gotten the hang of nursing DD in the Ergo and also have just gotten over any apprehension about NIP that I always had with DS. This makes going out so much easier.

That's awesome for as young as your LO is. I don't think I put on makeup until he was at least 3 weeks old haha and I still rarely put it on. I'm just too lazy Wink

My house, for sure, was not clean at that age either!

Mom2Mack1 · October 2012

I went to the grocery store with both kids. DD doesn't like to ride in the cart so I've been dreading it but it went surprisingly okay. I got everything on my list and nobody was in tears!

JessicaxLynn87 · October 2012

I am a rock star because I've managed to take a shower every day since LO was born. Not going to lie though- sometimes I don't have the energy to do my hair, but I always put on a little makeup! Now my house? It is a disaster! Kudos to the mothers who have found the energy and time to clean during the day!

kelbel527 · October 2012

I like this post! We are all awesome.

I'm a rockstar because:

I NIP yesterday during lunch with DH.

I've kept the house clean since I've been home (I was much lazier with DS1)

I bathed DS2 by myself yesterday

jenndub · October 2012

I'm a rock star because I haven't missed a soccer game since DD2 was born. And I helped out at the JogaThon at E and B's school yesterday. I'm proud to be a mommy of 3, it's awesome. And exhausting !

MainelyFoolish · October 2012

I finally made my pumpkin chocolate chunk cookies yesterday!

Manx4 · October 2012

I'm a rock star because I get dinner on the table while wrangling a toddler and a crying newborn, all by myself!

CdnFarmGirl08 · October 2012

DS slept for 5 hours straight last night!

He took a bottle for the second time- we were at a baby shower and I didn't want to nurse there so I had pumped and hoped that he would take the bottle and he sucked it down like a champ!

I've showered everyday since we were home! It's my moment of sanity! Yesterday I did it while DH was home and purposely took an extra long time so that he could watch him!!

Jeberg · October 2012

I was able to put my eye makeup on with one hand and nurse DD with the other yesterday!!

teacherjess · October 2012

I made my goal of EPing for 4 weeks. Next goal is 6 weeks and I think if I can get past this weekend (DH is out of town for work) I can make it!

Also, I have showered almost every day AND we got out of the house every day this week.

KKSBeans · October 2012

I have showered every day since LO has been home, managed to somewhat keep up on laundry, and managed to keep her quiet and happy at a wedding by myself (DH was in the wedding)
