Anyone else wake up thinking....?

Question

I just don’t want to “mom” today? 😅
My husband has been out of town for the past couple of weeks for army training, and we have no family where we live so I’ve been pretty much on my own. Woke up this morning around 6:30 to my son whining a little bit and tbh I let him do that for about 30 more minutes. (He wasn’t full out crying) I just wanted to lay in bed a little longer before I had to let the dog out, feed and change my son, and find time to pump and clean the overnight bottles in between. It’s tough! I absolutely love being a new mom but man, it’s tiring. I can’t wait for my husband to be back to give me just a tiny bit of relief. 
There are no days off being a mom, and this is probably the toughest job I’ve ever had.

Answer

I feel ya in the mornings! I do all the night shifts. I work from home and my husband goes to work out in the heat all day. But a little wiggle time in the morning is good for baby, teaches them self-smoothing. That’s what I tell myself and I’m sticking to it! 😂

Answer

I just commented on a previous post about adjusting. 
It's definitely the hardest job I've ever had and I've worked in physical and mentally draining jobs. As hard as it can be it's definitely the most rewarding seeing my son smile and make new milestones.
I can't imagine doing it completely alone like you are and with a dog to top it off. I think my son turned my dog into an old man but he wakes my son up at times and just like the baby when he needs he tells us.

Answer

You are in tough situation. Yesterday was tough day for me, where my daughter couldn’t get to sleep in day. My husband finished work and took over completely for an hour so I could shower and do things. Best hour of my life! Can’t imagine what it would be like for you with no help.

Answer

I feel you. Today is one of those days and my husband even took the night shift. My son is 2 months old and he just started sleeping through the night and he wakes up anywhere between 4:30 and 6am and i let him fuss today until i was awake just to see if he would fall back asleep. I feel bad about doing it but my husband really doesn’t help out with my son that much so its more often i will have him do that.
