I didn't realize how rough it is to take care of a newborn! I'm pretty much in the same routine you're in. It takes until 1 oclock in the afternoon before I even find time to eat and get dressed. Then its pretty much a cycle of feed, changing diaper, put to sleep, put down, then literally 15 minutes after putting Grant down he starts bawling. It's sad that I was so excited. tonight just to have a small amount of time to clean the house. It's amazing how my proirities have changed now having a baby. Now my priorities are just trying to find the time to do simple tasks like getting dressed and eatting. Hang in there! :)Megan Leahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00142816142430769192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359647282948346220.post-14297536169347408122012-03-10T21:59:09.356-06:002012-03-10T21:59:09.356-06:00I have not had my little girl yet, but I have an i...I have not had my little girl yet, but I have an idea I'm going to be feeling the same way you do. I think the best piece of advice I've ever received (and hopefully the only one I'll remember)is that the newborn stage only lasts a little while. Your pillow will always be there, but your newborn will grow up. If you are sleeping you might miss out on your baby's first smile or giggle.. so as hard as it is to be lacking sleep, you are gaining precious time with your baby. (again I hope that I remember this when I'm sleep deprived and miserable!) It sounds like you're doing wonderfully so far, and alone time/adult time is good for you and your family. And although I don't know you personally, I agree with Amanda that Presley is very lucky to have you as a mom. :)Britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03779249506705844523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359647282948346220.post-29052238984681585312012-03-10T18:35:03.659-06:002012-03-10T18:35:03.659-06:00Awesome post! You always are, but I know that you ...Awesome post! You always are, but I know that you are going to be SUCH an important go-to-person for me once our baby girl is here!!!! Thanks for the honesty and giving me a heads-up on what to expect while I'm expecting! ;) I love you. Presley is so lucky to have you as her mom! Your selflessness and worry and research shows how much you really do care about your family! -AmandaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
