New mom - Crazy Life

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months
I have a 6mo girl and we live a normal life. She's pretty happy but mommy (me) is going crazy!!!
I haven't fit in this new life. I'm a very organized person but everything in my house and life is upside down. My baby sleeps very well and she's great but I still waiting the "click" sound in this new fase of my life.
Please, let me know about any books or advices!
Thaaanks!

    Wow, you posted my thoughts! (but took out all the negative self talk I have been giving myself about this)

    People tell me this is normal, but that hasn't really made me feel better.  Because I do feel like I am going crazy and need it fixed now. 

    Hopefully someone can give you some advice that I can use as well.

    I too, was super stressed.  But I've slowly realized that not getting to everything in one day is okay too.  I don't mind leaving a stack of dishes for the following day or only doing laundry once a week.  I've learned to slow my roll, and I'm sure you will too.  :)

    I've found it helps to focus on what I did get done, rather than what I didn't.  So if there's a stack of laundry that's been sitting in the living room for two days waiting to be folded, BUT, I showered and took the baby for a walk, that's still a win in my book!  And every day we don't eat takeout for dinner is also a win!
