My baby boy is 6 weeks old!!! I was nursing him for the 3rd time in about 30 minutes (keep eating, stopping, eating, stopping) and then he fell asleep on my lap! I now have an ear print on my arm! :)
I had my 6 week postpartum appointment today! Doctor says everything looks good. YAY for that! haha But I have been having some "mood" swings.. I have my good days and my bad days... i HATE it! I cannot stand feeling so unmotivated and like I am a horrible mother because I don't feel so super excited about my new baby as I should... and I very much DISLIKE getting angry so easily... :( The doctor prescribed me at least 20 minutes of outdoor time a day and a very low dose of zoloft. I feel sort of like I have taken the "easy" way out of my moodiness.. BUT then i just keep looking back at all the times I just didn't entertain Isabella like she deserved! Life has been tough since I got pregnant... and I thought that maybe it would have gotten better after delivery and after my hormones had time to adjust... but NOPE!! I am hoping that this will help me manage and cope better for my kids and for my husband. It is so hard to not have friends or family near by to get out of the house more and talk to people... other than my 6wk old and my 2 yr old! I love talking to Isabella... she is GREAT but sometimes a person needs some "real" interaction! Being a stay at home mom is hard work! but totally worth it!! :)
I guess I should try and sleep a little now... I have been up since 5:30am and no nap! :(
Here's to hoping baby sleeps good tonight!!
it took me awhile for my hormones to adjust back! I just started feeling like my old self a couple of weeks ago and things aren't getting on my nerves as bad anymore. Going outside for 20min sounds like a good idea, it always helps to get out of the house and enjoy some fresh air!
