really loving being a mummy !

[Sarah W Baby Belly]

I adore my baby and being a mum!

I can't wait for him to wake up in the mornings so that I can give him hundreds more kisses.

He is almost 19 weeks old and we are now really good mates. he makes me laugh all the time.

I've given up worrying about what is not getting done (I was getting stressed about not being able to cook the dinner etc) and I am just concentrating on caring for him and not worrying about anything else.

I still definitely don't want any more children though. I am just really happy with it being the Dh, samuel, the cat and me. More than enough characters in one house I feel!

For anyone who is new to being a mummy and not sure if they like it, it does get better honestly!

What a lovely post!

I have my concerns, as I've never felt particularly 'maternal' and it took me a while to get used to this pregnancy.

You sound so happy and content though, it's giving me hope.

Thankyou xx

Hi Sarah

It's so nice to hear from you, I was wondering how you were getting on. I'm so pleased that you're enjoying your little boy, I feel exactly the same about my beautiful Zara.

Hope to hear more from you!

what a nice post, glad you enjoying being a mummy. I remember in the early days I was the same stressing becuase I couldnt get anything done around the house and I was thinking it was a lot harder than I ever imagined, but with each day it got easier and my love grew stronger and now its the best thing in the world! I definatly want more, another 2

I am really glad you have said this Sarah - i remember when you were pg and said things like " i want to be pg forever" and " i want him to stay in a bit longer"

so glad things are so good and i can definatley relate to the morning feelings!

Thanks guys for all your support and help

In the beginning I felt like I had the stuffing kicked out of me and i was very resentful that I didn't even seem to have time to poo in peace!

This all seems very ridiculous now.

Of course I have my iffy days like when I go to the supermarket with him. and my adrenaline is pumping because I am expecting him to start crying any second.

Apart from that, everything is a lot more calm and serene now.

When do u return to work? U will miss him so much..I miss Rebecca when I went back, eventhough I am still at the stage where I am resentful coz I cant poop in peace!

 

[Sarah W Baby Belly]

I am not going back to work.

I don't earn enough to pay for childminding fees and I don't have family members that will be able to help out.

So its counting every single penny for us!

That's excellent tho Sarah, least you can see him grow up. I'm (and OH too I suppose) are missing out on so much, but can't afford not to work.

Take care and enjoy him. (You shoulde be on here more often if you are at home, we miss you )

Hi

The reason I don'y log on very often is because Sam is currently sleeping for only 30 minutes at a time during the day, and when I do get the rest, I do exactly that. Rest

I used to run around and cook the dinner and do housework but it was stressing me out so when I do manage to get him to sleep in the day I sit down and drink tea and eat biscuits and switch my brain off from babies completely. If I come on this forum it makes me think about babies again and my brain needs a rest!

However, saying that.............drum roll..... I have decided to leave sam in his cot instead of picking him straight up and it would appear that, after 20 minutes of protesting, he seems to have gone back to sleep!

Just going to check him and see............... wait for it......................................................

OK.. he's not asleep, he was just being really quiet. dooooh!

oh well, I can keep trying to get him to take longer naps.

This is reassuring. Feels like yesterday we were pregnant at the same time Sarah and then I miscarried and now I'm about to pop any day!

Not frightened of labour or birth at all but the time at home with him and possibly the baby blues. This makes it all worthwhile.....I'm sure I'll be fine but it is great to hear from you as I was worried you'd juts disappeared from the forum for good.
