How is everyone doing??

Just thought I would drop a message in to see how everyone is doing so far? I’m 6 weeks in and i’m loving being a mum so much, although the sleep deprivation is slowly getting to me. Also, it’s still a long way off but I’ve started having to make childcare arrangements and I’m getting pretty emotional at the thought of going back to work and putting my baby in daycare. I honestly just can’t imagine not seeing him all day. Is anyone else in the same boat or just me? Feel free to drop a rant or share what you’re enjoying about being a mum (whether first time or not) 😊

I’m someone that could easily sleep 12 hours and now I barely sleep 2 at a time 💤 I’ve for so much to do today too ✌🏻 I’m just over 6 weeks in too, still feel like I’m finding my feet and constant mam fails haha

I've enjoyed being a mam these last 6 weeks too (time really is flying by!) but agree there are days where the lack of sleep catches up to me. It does feel like he's always been here and thankfully everyone dotes on him 💕 I used to be a very organised and tidy person but now not so much, especially if my little boy has a day where he decides to fight sleep and not allow me to put him down. My house, kitchen especially looks a mess 80% of the time now 🙈 x

I'm in the same situation as you. We're looking at nurseries for when I need to go back to work. Although there's still plenty of time left, I can't bear the thought of leaving my little boy with someone and to return to work 😭 Like you, I'm enjoying being a mum. I'm trying to soak in every minute as time is flying by and my little boy is growing so quickly! I'm finding nights really hard and also struggling to get into a good routine during the day to help us step out of the house more as its a big mission right now. I also feel guilty that I don't do enough during wake windows

I’m 6 weeks PP and have a 2 year old. Slowly finding my feet juggling the both of them but it’s been hard! I’m desperate for more sleep! Feeding every 2ish hours day / night is no joke 😅

Yeah doing good teething stage is hard especially when single mum she's 6 moths and two weeks xx

I’m a FTM and been loving every second of it. Definitely have some tough days as well but I’m definitely really lucky to have a hands on and supportive husband who gets stuck in when I need a little break or a mid day nap if it’s been a restless night for LO. I’m also looking for some groups to join locally to meet other mums and start to establish a weekly routine. Same as some of the others it’s a long way off returning to work but already feeling dreadful at the idea of not being with my little boy every day or putting him in nursery even though we will need to a couple days a week. Also not sure about anyone else but I’ve definitely felt quite anxious at times more than I thought I would. It’s definitely a wild ride at times!
