No matter how much you love your baby and your husband, there are times when running away sounds like a pretty good idea. I hope things continue getting brighter and brighter for you!

It was only years later that I confessed it to him. I was blind with rage because he wasn't helping as much as I thought he should (and the best part was that he was on vacation from work for the first 5 weeks and didn't do shit to help!) You understand now why I wanted to kill him? :)<br /><br />Jordan is beautiful! Babies totally change your life for the better though...or at least I can say it now (Daughter is nearly 7 years old.)

Then he stopped but he still didn't truly get it until the week I went back to work - he took a week off to stay at home with the baby and then he got to see what I "did all day." And then I also had to remind him that in addition to the baby stuff I was physically recovering from a c-section (which, I'm sorry my good doctors, takes longer than 6 weeks) and dealing with all kinds of hormonal and post-partum issues. He got it then.<br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad things are getting better. And even though it sounds cliche and you basically want to punch people who say it (I know I did), the first few months really are the hardest and it truly does get better. I'm actually one of the select few that didn't really like the tiny baby stage and is currently my own personal form of birth control (holy hell, I do NOT want to get pregnant again any time soon thankyouverymuch).<br /><br />So, yeah, congrats on a month and you really do have a handsome little man there!!SMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14716194564661523397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-35653311937638718132009-09-21T22:51:23.239-04:002009-09-21T22:51:23.239-04:00So glad you're reaching out!

I can't believe the things that I would cry and worry about just a while ago disappear as the baby grows. <br />My husband took a couple of weeks off after I gave birth, but he mostly puttered around on some projects he was working on- and honestly, with all of the lack of sleep and hormones and c-section aftermath, I was pretty damn happy when he went back to work so I could control the day. BUT he did make the mistake of asking what I did all day- ONCE. Soon after I went back to work part-time 3x10 hour days, and he is on the job 3 nights a week now. Dude races to hand over the baby when I get home so he can do his own thing after 2 hours of full parenting.MaryHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07667412709239187789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-31869224195540885842009-09-21T22:11:02.990-04:002009-09-21T22:11:02.990-04:00i hear you sister!

Not enough women speak up about the first months of motherhood. Thanks for doing so.<br /><br />And, my god, that boy is something.

His first mama, his first day playing some sport, hs first player of the day certificate, his first day of kindy, and on it goes forever, all these thing will make your eyes leak and give you a huge great lump in your gut of sheer pride and wonderment that that little man is yours and Nicks, that the two of you are responsible for creating and raising this person, and that the two of you manage through everything to get past anything that is in your way together to make life happen for this boy. Now Nick has cottoned on to what being a dad is all about in the first stages he will be fine, you all will be. support, underdstanding and tolerance is what its all awbout at the moment. :)Go-Bettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12746808309929560250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-76045663043610711892009-09-21T17:44:36.377-04:002009-09-21T17:44:36.377-04:00Oh My God!
