I had beautiful Benji on Valentine’s Day. I love him so much and love watching him grow each day. I am, however, starting to feel lonely, bored and sort of sad on maternity leave. My husband works long hours, and I miss the busyness of work. I’ve been trying to keep busy when Benji naps by working on things around the house, like organizing my closet, but I end up not finishing anything and then just being more stressed about it.

I’ve been texting with my friends during the day, but everyone is at work. I get anxious doing things like sitting and watching tv. I’d love to walk, but it’s still freezing here in Connecticut.

Has anyone experienced this same thing? Any advice?
