So..I had a baby and now I am a milk factory!
I had a baby, she is beautiful and good and doesn't cry too much...but she is almost four weeks old and I am nursing every 2.5-3 hrs and I feel very cow like, I smell like sour milk, have bags under my eyes and I am fat and all I want to do is eat ice cream and watch skinny beautiful women on TV and wish I were them...no clothes fit, I have no money to buy clothes...went to Sally Annes to buy clothes and couldn't even find clothes to fit me there!!!!
Where is the balance? Many women say there is no balance at this stage in life, a small baby phase. I want to nurse but feel so trapped...I don't want to be fat...I don't want to wake up every 3 hours and be so grumpy because I am tried all the time. Then people get annoyed with you because you are grummpy...are you getting up every 3 hours???? If you were you would be grumpy too...
ARHHHHH...what was I thinking..I am so too old for this.
As my friend R. said, you asked for it, you wanted to have a baby! This is true and I am sure that I will soon blog about the amazing experience of being a mother to a small baby but right now....pass the ice cream!!!

I'm feeling for you!
I remember that stage - not feeling like your life will ever be your own again - or your body. Feeling totally unsexy and unattractive...
But know that you are totally beautiful and awesome! As a woman, as a friend, and as a mom.
love you girl!
I am an R but I think I didn't say that. (Did I say that?)
No R. it was not you it was a different R. Sorry I was not clear on that.
