Hello my lovely BlogPod!
It’s been almost a month now since we came back from the hospital, and I’m trying to adapt to my new lifestyle with a baby in the house. At first, it was not really as I imagined. I thought that I could cuddle with my son, feed him, put him to sleep and do as a please. HAHA I’m funny right?! ReaaaAAaaality CheeeCk!!
It took me a while to both realize AND accept the fact, that I’m not the star of the show right now, my baby boy is. He decides when it’s time to eat and sleep. And sometimes he wants to cuddle for hours. His needs goes always before everything else in this house. Of course, I was frustrated to not be able to clean the house like before. Or do whatever I want whenever I want. But the sooner I accepted my new lifestyle, the easier it became to enjoy it and try to somewhat find a routine that suits both me and my baby.
Some days are easier than others. It depends on my baby’s mood and my mood as well. I’m not going to lie, it can be too much sometimes. If I don’t get enough sleep for example, I’m too tired to even try to do anything. I make sure to nap during the day when he is napping. Otherwise I can’t function and I can absolutely not be productive at all. Which makes me super depressed! And when I’m depressed and at my low, I’m not very fun to be with at all. So, I’m trying my best with my new role as a mother and hopefully everything will be alright Inshallah.
