So I had my beautiful little girl a little over 2 weeks ago. I love being her mom but I'm now bored sitting at home... My house is clean so idk what else to do. What did you do to fight the boredom?

    are there any parent groups in your area? I joined one where I am that was focused on teaching and supporting new parents in that first year.

    It was great to have somewhere to go once a week, and get ideas and support when things were touch as our babies were all more or less the same age.

    I also developed some friendships with people who I still catch up with 3 years later.

    Check for any kind of free activities in your area, or inexpensive ones when the babe's a bit older.  Besides those drop in ones to chat with new parents, baby massage classes seem to be common too.  Lots of walks too, the weather's finally turning for the better!  Read your favourite book or magazine - even out loud if the baby's snuggled with you - not like she'll understand it anyway, but she's still getting the language development.  Depending on how much time you have off for your leave, do some extra cooking/freezer meals if you know you'll be heading back to work.

    Careful what you wish for! My LO was not fussy at all until the 3 week mark.

    How about post-natal yoga classes? Or can you help me clean my house? Lol!

    I had my baby at the end of February and after two weeks, we were out and about. At first we just took short trips to target or the mall and after I was feeling better, we'd walk laps around the mall each day. I also joined a breastfeeding group and go every Monday at noon. It's nice to have something in the calendar to have to go to each week. Now that it's nice, we are constantly outside for walks or meeting friends for lunch, etc.
