]]> Comment on Dr.’s Check Up by Grayson http://benandliz.com/2007/02/16/drs-check-up/comment-page-1/#comment-254 Grayson Sun, 04 Mar 2007 01:09:43 +0000 http://www.benandliz.com/2007/02/16/drs-check-up/#comment-254 YES! Every new mom feels totally off-schedule... for a long, long time. I just gaveup anything remotely resembling routine for about a year. Then a new one sorta grew out of the ether. And then that one changed. And the next. You get the point. Children change so fast, almost literally right in front of your eyes, that everything is in a constant state of adjustment. Flex everything anytime you can, and set that expectation for others too, and all will be well in your world! Congrats on the natural birth. I went natural too, but my labor was only 10 hours. Have my doubts if I could have stuck it out another 12! You're a brave, remarkably strong woman!!! Giving birth naturally was the most priceless, remarkable gift I could ever have given myself. It changed me in every possible way. It's confidence and pride and worthiness in one big WILD infusion. There really is no stopping me now! Anytime anything ever gets you down or starts to make you doubt yourself, just think of what you proved you were capable of. Not to mention your amazingly high pain threshold! Works every time for me. The nine months of every three hours feeding, pumping, etc. Now that's something I don't think I want to do again. Least not for 9 months. Whew! But I lost that pesky 10 lbs., and more, that I'd never been able to lose since putting it on in college back in the eighties. So that too had some unexpected bennies. Congratualtions! YES!

Yes, like the others said, everyone does get overwhelmed. It gets better. I have a feeling you will be super mom before too long. If you ever need to just vent, I'm willing to listen. I also agree with the waking Ben up. It won't hurt him to miss a little sleep. You certainly need your rest too. I am so happy for you guys. It's all so exciting.

But you are not alone in feeling overwhelmed. It will get better with time. I'll be glad to keep him sometime while you get yourself back in order or for you just to take a nap, lol When it's time for you to go back to work it will go much smoother than you think. You'll surprise yourself with all you can do in little time with a baby on your hands. Keep your head up! Love you guys! I agree with Mark completely!!!! But you are not alone in feeling overwhelmed.
