E has been such a joy in our lives while at the same time such a challenge to figure out sometimes! Am I alone on this one? I don't think I have postpartum, but I guess I did have the baby blues? There was one day where my husband came home from work and I was so irritable. As much as he tried to comfort me and tell me to go out or at least just take a drive, I kept telling him I was fine. Ha, the infamous "I'm fine" response from a woman. At the time though I really thought I was okay, just hormonal of course. But in the end I took his advice and decided to go for a drive by myself. Not a big deal to some, I was literally just going out to pick up dinner. Wow, that was an eye opener for me. That was the first time I had ever been away from baby E. As much as I love spending time with my little one, I realized that I need some me time. Maybe not the "me" time that I'm used too, but just that short 30 minute respite to myself was rejuvenating. I guess I needed that drive, and I'm lucky that my husband kept encouraging me to take advantage of the time when he can watch our baby and give me a break.
So here we are....I'm blogging. I can't promise myself that I'll be here all the time. But, I will certainly try. I'm sure I'm not alone out there when I say that it gets lonely sometimes being a stay at home mom. I know that I am blessed to have this free time to take care of our daughter. But this first time mommy is still learning the ins and outs of motherhood. Slowly trying to get by in this new world introduced to me 2 months ago and just striving to be the best mama I can to our baby E. So to keep me sane, I will blog.
