Feeling Normal

deniseharnett34 · October 2014

When Brayden was born everyone kept telling me I was never going to sleep and I was going to be exhausted. On top of that those baby blues might creep up, and yes they do but I've found a way to make my days a little bit brighter and somewhat normal. The key for me is to have a schedule. A me schedule. It's so important to get up every morning (when you can) and get dressed! Getting dressed has done wonders for me. Sure I want to stay in my pj's all day but I realized how lazy and depressing that made me feel. Jumping in the shower and throwing on some mascara truly helped. As a "busy" person, meaning I can't stay still and hate to be cooped up, I found a way to bring back a little normal into my life. I suggest trying it and it's ok if baby cries a bit while you get yourself together. Happy Momma = Happy Baby.

Popcorn anyone?

I bet she never comes back to look at this thread since she's already imparted her "wisdom"

In summary OP, no one cares.

Guiseee stop making me laugh while I'm nursing. DD doesn't like being a bobblehead.

So because I wear my pj's and not mascara is why I feel like shit not the fact that my baby refuses to sleep. #nowifeelbetteraboutmyself

So glad I read this. DS is my fourth kid but OP has it all figured out in the first two weeks of having her first??? Haha I love the ladies on this board 8-}

This reminds me of the JT-Jimmy Fallon skit. #shutthef*kup

So your two week old is crying while you put on mascara but at least you feel good about yourself?

Don't make a c section mom laugh that hard!

jenndub · October 2014

@TicketTuesday‌ I'm dying. I laughed at the whole thing and then went borderline hysterical at "momma with da poops". Bravo.

@tickettuesday always gets the win!!!

Thank you O14 and @tickettuesday for the laughs!

OP - Quit while you're ahead. Handing out advice like that is ridiculous. You do what works for you and keep it to yourself, unless someone ASKS for your advice.

Oh and here I was thinking that the insanity would calm down for a few weeks while we all had (or will have!) babies! I am so happy I read this.
