Today I got to sleep in for two whole hours! Gary took the baby over to my dad's, so I could get some sleep. I feel so guilty when I try to take time out for myself. Is that normal? I NEVER go to movies, go out to eat, or shop by myself anymore. I miss the days of pregnancy when I was able to see all the new movies that were out. I miss being on bedrest when I was allowed to watch tv all day and nap as often as I like. The anticipation of a new baby is no longer with me either.
Do all moms have that deflated feeling once the baby is here? I should say that Nicholas is one already. He is technically a toddler. The lack of much needed sleep for the entire first year of his life has made me dumber. I no longer recall anything "smart" or able to comprehend past a 1st grade level. Are you smarter than a 5th grader? Heck no! I don't read, unless you count magazines.
I think that if I did not work full time, I would be happier. I miss being home with him. I hate that others tell me what he likes and dislikes.
Man, I'm whining...I do love my little guy! He's the cutest....so photogenic (not from me for sure!)
