Once you get into a routine, you will have a much better hold on your new responsibilities of being a mother. And it's the most important job in the world. Doesn't pay much but the gain is invaluable. If you have someone helping you, ask for some mommy time alone. A place you can gather your thoughts and be alone with your thoughts. If only for 1 hour a day. Be sure to ask for help from a trusted friend or family member. I'm sure many always say, let me know what we can do to help. I would ask, you know, I think I'll take your offer. Would you mind babysitting for an hour a week for me? Something for you to look forward to. Once the newness wears off, you will get in a routine, and the first few months are exhausting. Hang in there, you are going to do great! Many women work, and are moms too. You don't have to be super woman, you just have to make sure your child has all they need including your love. Jobs can be replaced, our lives and families cannot. Hang in there!
