I Must Confess.... | 4/28/09 6:34 AM
Ok, I have to confess...

...that when I put my 7 week old down at night, I secretly hide out in the bathroom pretending to "do stuff" so that if the baby cries, my husband will have to be the one to put him back down.

...I look forward to going back to work sometimes.

...I haven't done the dishes in nearly 4 days.

...I can't remember the last time I put in my contacts or even brushed my hair. (permanent ponytail)


I LOVE BEING A MOM!

My confessions


One of the reasons I Breastfeed is to have bigger boobs. (atleast temporarily)

I sleep in and taught my 3 and 4 year old how to get themselves breakfast.

I sit around in my pjs until 20 minutes before my husband gets home and then I get dressed and tidy up the house.(in a crazy rush)

I spoil the snot out of my 2 month old. I hold her most of the day.

If I had to choose between showering and napping- I would choose napping.
I pretend not to hear the baby once a night, so my husband will get him.
I can't remember the last time I put on makeup or did my hair.
I'd rather sit around and watch tv then leave the comfort of my home.
I don't like visitors anymore.
I just feel like a bum.

I "feel dizzy" when I take my pain meds so that my husband has to get up first!

So I know not to feel bad when I haven't even had my child yet and I haven't cleaned my house (except my bathroom) in 2 months...I make my husband do everything.

I know how you ladies feel..
I hate seeing my body in the mirror, not sexy anymore
I feel as though I am alone, and have nowhere to turn when i need a break
Sometimes I have scary thought of losing my son or him being ill or dying
I wonder if i am a little postpartum and am scared to talk to someone.
I wish i could sleep more and feel like my hubby sleeps way more even though he is not working.
I resent the fact that we argue more now and feel like leaving him sometimes
i am scared i will panic if my son scrapes himself or hurts himself and not be able to help
i too would rather not have any company a lot and rather just be the mess i am
i hate it when my man compares me to his martha stewart mom and insults me
but most of all, my baby boy is the best thing that has happened to me and each and every day he makes me smile and be happy to be alive
thanks for letting me get this off my chest

Don't feel bad! I was feeling that way with my first child and it's hard when you dont have anyone to talk to. I wolud write in a diary or any kind of book, just to get everything off my chest, it even helped when I cried,(might sounds crazy) but I HELPS. Well I hope you feel better. Sunshine;)
