I miss the old me

Definitely not alone, motherhood is a huge transition full of highs and lows. The world often doesn’t change as much for the partner and it can be natural to feel all these things. Keep doing a great job mumma and maybe this is a sign to book a babysitter or leave bubs with your partner and have some time out. Give yourself permission to have some me time
How old is baby? I found after they turned 1 a lightbulb went in me and that’s when I really worked on myself to get a bit of my old life back I started new hobbies, bought new clothes, going out more, etc. but Hubby is really great at taking baby for half a night so I can do that. Ring some friends, get out more, and if he’s not working or got no plans tell him you’re going here at this time on that day etc. It’s on those nights I drive myself that I can blast my music up LOUD and just drown out all thoughts and get lost in the music.
Girl me too!! I was just telling my partner this. I have a 14 year old so things we’re great he cooks on his own, clean washes his own clothes… Now we have a 10month old baby boy and I am currently 5 months pregnant. Ughh! Love isn’t even a strong enough word for how I feel about my little baby but damn I miss just getting up and going lol and like you said blasting my music in the car etc taking random rides where ever tf I please.. being able to drink a beer here and there. 😩😅
Your not alone xxxx
