My mood while writing this blog: lonely

---

So it's 9 days in since having my little baby boy Charlie and I have to say that is has been an experience of ups and downs. I am not sure what it is but im incredibly lonely...does anyone else feel that way? dont get me wrong i love my little man to bits but i guess forgot the toll it takes on your emotions, especially when your husband has unpredictable hours and needs to go out of town to work sometimes for weeks on end. I am so not looking forward to that, How am I going to raise two kids by myself? plus we live out in the middle of nowhere, my parents live in the city and were in the country ontop of it my inlaws and that side of the family have not shown any real interest in baby charlie. My MIL came up to the hospital the day he was born and that was it, than came over a couple of hours for supper the other night, My FIL is acting like an ass not really sure what his problem is. Other than one of my SIL's who at least texts me I have not heard from anyone on my husbands side to see how charlie is doing or if I need a visitor. How do you pass the days and nights? especially with winter coming...I'm just praying my husband can stick around home at least for a couple of months until this little man starts getting more mobile and i can do more with him, I'm scared to take him out to much as this flu is going around and dont want him to get sick.

augh, anyway...that is my vent for the day...is there a group on here where new moms can chat? thanks for listening.

Oh, you're not the only one! I have been super emotional and feel like I'm all alone in this, too- even though I'm not! My Mom has been over nearly everyother day and my husband is always around. But I feel like I have to do everything because I am breastfeeding, so it is hard to get help from anyone. If he's fussy- he's hungry and that's my job. Then at night I'm the one getting up for the changes and feedings. My husband works and needs a good night sleep. It will pass I am sure, and each day/night has to get better... right?? I'm sure you are doing a wonderful job, just know that it is okay to cry... you do feel better for a little while after you have a good cry. I wouldn't take your little one out either if I were you! My pediatrician told me to stay home with him till MAY!! I feel like the four walls of my living room is my prison for the next 6months, LOL! But at least it's winter and we can sit back and enjoy the snow fall. Well good luck Mommy and remember not to be too hard on yourself!!!
