Hi Thoughts

I hear you-- I feel tired too-my daughter still nurses in the middle of the night so I don't get a lot of sleep. Having a 3 month old is a lot of work. I can see why you feel exhausted. You have it harder than I do. I don't have to work outside the home anymore. Is it possible to get atleast 1 half day a week?

Please take what is useful and disregard anything from my story below:

When I first had my daughter I used to try to do the same things as I did before I had her but I realized that it was just too hard to do everything myself. I decided what was really important or neccessary would get done. It was okay that the house wasn't perfect and that all the errands didn't get done exactly at the time I would have like them to. The most important thing was that I was sane enough and healthy enough to give my daughter what she needed and when she needed it. I realized that my life had changed and that my priorities had to too.

I started asking others for help like with the errands.(people like to help when there is a new baby around-let them hold the baby or put up a list of things you need done-let them pick)
I traded my "me" shopping for a biweekly cleaning lady (eventhough I'm at home I still work: laundry,bills,groceries,seeing to my child's every need, etc.)A major cleaning every to weeks helps a lot.
I ask family or friends to babysit so I can get some "me" time. This is what keeps me sane.(I almost forgot how to have adult conversations, being with a baby all day will do that).
Your child deserves a healthy mom.
