I now definitely understand all the literature that the husband & I read during our pregnancy. The baby blues is real & it takes you hostage without asking. I feel as though the worse is over, thank God we survived it. I can’t really explain exactly how it feels. The only people who could possibly relate are all the other momma’s out there who conquered it also. I felt like a shell of myself, running on empty. A combination of hormonal changes and sleep deprivation equals an overwhelmed momma. I was resentful and moody around those who were closest (my husband) to us. I was never upset with my baby though, I knew all he needed was my love and attention. I am so unexplainably happy. We still have our trying times, but we are all growing together.
Our next step is getting baby into his own crib. I am slowly getting use to the idea. The limited time I have to sleep will hopefully be more sound. I know he will be fine, but I have a little issue with separation anxiety. We are also incorporating some bottle feedings. His Dad absolutely loves being able to feed him. He feels more bonded with him. It is also a great help to me! The next week will bring on some challenging changes. I can’t believe he is almost a month old already! He is growing way too fast.
My friend is getting married at the end of the month and we are excited for our first date night out. The bachelorette party is coming soon; I have to get a dress (dreading this). Let’s face it my body has suffered a little throughout this journey too. I am looking forward to a night out with my best girlfriends, but at the same time I am torn because I will be leaving baby and Dad all by themselves. Maybe by the time the night gets here I will be ready to go!
Time for another diaper change and feeding! A crying baby doesn’t wait.
