Baby blues
My baby is one week two days old. I love him dearly. However I’ve been crying everyday at the feeling of my freedom being taken away and my life, to an extent being over. My main trigger for crying is the thought of my husband and I not having our spontaneous adventures/get always anymore. We have a baby to worry about and there will always be that responsibility from now on. I just feel like we can’t be carefree anymore. I’ve always wanted to be a mom, it’s been a dream of mine. I’m disappointed in myself that now that I have one I feel like I wasn’t ready/maybe didn’t want one after all. I also feel like I’m neglecting my dog. He’s 8 months old and he kept me healthy throughout my pregnancy going on walks and stuff and now he barely gets any exercise. I feel like I’m letting him down and not providing a good life for him, but I don’t want to get rid of him either. Like I said, I love my baby. But I am having a hard time connecting into then roll of motherhood and bonding. Has anybody else felt this way? Does it get better? How long did it take you to feel normal again? I should mention my husband and I live in a camper and move a lot, so for the moment I am fairly close to people I know, but soon we will move again and I won’t be. I feel like I won’t have the normal support that most moms have with relatives and friends near by. I feel so much responsibility that I wasn’t ready for. I hate feeling this way.
