Omg!! I remember!!
a) Allocate strict visiting hours and even then, not every day.
b) Then when visitors do arrive, make them earn their cuddle with bubs
( I did it to my own mum and sister once, hehe! Just a reminder of who actually pushed this child out into the world in the past couple of months!!)
....including getting them to make you a cuppa, not you wait on them!!
c) get those you trust to take your bubby out for a walk/drive (even if little one cries the whole time.......they only hear it for a couple of hours then they get to go home!)
d) be as selfish as you need to be lovey......milk it if you have to, haha!! Seriously, at the point you are in your current new journey with bubs, you should only have to think about you and bubs and your partner. No one else matters right now so really relax into a 'tunnel vision' mode! IT really is only for a short season in the grand scheme of things but when you are in the thick of it, it can seem like an eternity.....so one moment at a time! xx
My biggest thought though is to make sure you stay in contact with the right people, ie pead, GP, midwife etc, even if you feel like you are repeating yourself or going around the mulberry bush......go around it 1000 times if you have to, thats what they are there for. Keep chatting to your lovely partner and BBand those I mentioned above coz we're all here to help you through this time..................it can really do your head in!!
Thinking of you love and be encouraged that you are so far from being a bad mum!! The fact that you care so much to vent and share and get help makes you the greatest mummy ever!! You love your munchkin so much and we can all tell that!
Goodness me.............my girls recently had colds so I had hardly any sleep yet more than what you are getting and I was still a grumpy, snappy, cross mummyso you're doing great sweety!!!
Thinking of you! xx
