Taking care of a baby is definitely hard work. I feel like I have no time to do anything that I used to do- everything is so rushed now, like showers, eating, pumping and sleeping. I feel like I need a class on how to manage my time while handling a newborn. If anyone has tips on how to do this, please let me know. It is so difficult for me right now, especially with the lack of sleep!
I never really understood how mothers handle bringing their children to the doctor, especially when they have more than one! I went to the eye doctor with my baby yesterday (all is well with him, it was just a routine check since he's a preemie) and there was a woman with three little boys. Two of them were able to walk- they must have been about 5 or 6 years old and then she was carrying the other while pushing an empty stroller. The little boy she was holding must have been two at the very least, but I just could not understand how she was there with three and I was having a hard enough time with one.
I had the diaper bag, my purse and him in the big clunky car seat. After taking him in and out of the car and carrying him around with the car seat I realized that I really should have started lifting weights to prepare myself for everything I would be carrying. The hear made it even worse because I was sweating while doing all of this. I am sure that whoever is reading this that has already had their children is saying "Welcome to motherhood" while thinking that I haven't experienced anything yet. I guess I just have to wait... I am sure it will all get better and that it will get easier for me as time goes on.
Well it just so happens that my little man is starting to cry, probably because its time for him to eat so that is my cue to end it here.
Till next time!
