Nothing beats coming home. We are finally back at home after completing 40 days of confinement. The past 40 days was quite an experience. I was trying to be a mom right away I was too hard on myself. Being a mom is a non stop learning experience. No one was born to know how to handle a newborn. I just have to be a little kinder to myself and the people around me.
During this period I received a lot of support from my family and friends. They cheered me on and visited me with treats and gave me comforting words. My husband has been so supportive and lifted most of my burden and worries. It is because of him that I managed to sleep more in the night. I know he is exhausted but yet do so without complain. I owe my sanity to him.
I am still struggling with breastfeeding. I want to give the best immunity to my child but I do not want to lose my sanity because of that. It is a battle between immunity or sanity. I ask myself if I should stop breastfeeding but the other side of me still wants to hang on. I know I won't be a bad mom if I decide to stop it. That is an issue yet to be resolved.
Sleep deprivation is still my greatest enemy but being a parent means there is no time for sleep in the initial period. I know that and I am trying to embrace it but there is a limit to how much your body can take it. I cannot imagine how that will work out when I have to return to work and handling breastfeeding at the same time.
Anyway we are on week 7 ( oh boy time flies ) and in a months time I will be back to the workforce. There is no time to waste. Back to creating moments with my little S.
Ciao.
