Self-Care Help!!!!
Any other mommas out there struggling to find time for themselves? I’m a SAHM to a beautiful almost 8 month old girl. I love being able to stay home, however I’ve had a very fussy baby from the beginning. She can be the happiest baby but only when her dad and I are both home. So during the day, she can be a handful until he comes home. We have no family around to help us out, so we have been doing this all on our own from the time she was born. We have family but we live across the country from our closest family members. I think my baby is starting her next “leap” early and she is also working on 3 more teeth which will make 5 teeth in total that she will have. I’m finding it very hard to have any time for myself. I really thought by this age she would have been better and I would have been able to start taking care of myself again, but that’s just not happening and it’s really starting to bother me. My weight has just gone up since she’s been born because I have no time to work out and dinners have to be the quickest thing I can make because I have no time. I’ve just been feeling really down lately and not happy with myself. She is not a good napper, only napping for 20-30 minutes at a time and those small timeframes I get, go to what needs to be done around the house. She’s also not sleeping through the night yet. So we are still getting up at night to feed her (she’s formula fed) So we’re getting frustrated with that also. Just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat, or had any advice on how I can get some self care in. Thanks!
Here’s a picture of my baby!
