My son was the same way, and a lot of babies are too. Treasure your moments with her, strap on your sling, and ignore the telephone along with "helpful" relatives and friends who tell you to just put her down and teach her to sooth herself. Babies that young cannot sooth themselves, and they need mamas like you. It will get easier in time, so hang in there and rest when you can.

I've got an eight month old and until he was about five months old or so, I was in the same position. It really does get easier day by day, and you sound like you're doing the right thing having a break. And yes, fashion does take a back seat. God, you should see what I wore for the first few months. But slowly, slowly, it does come back. Good luck! Don’t worry! I’ve got an eight month old and until he was about five months old or so, I was in the same position.

I think you're doing the right thing, and if you have a minute to write maybe it could be about your little girl and your days. They are fleeing you know, and should be saved and savoured. Maybe you'll post soon with some baby fashion? ;-) XXOOO /a fan BIG congratulations about the little girl.

When my boy was a month old, he was one of those babes as well, who refused to be put down. Why do I care, I loved holding him. :) Enjoy this time, I totally know where u're at now. And I bet you will be back... :) Blogging might just keep u sane in the future. Congratulations! When my boy was a month old, he was one of those babes as well, who refused to be put down.

Congrats on your baby girl. I have so been in your shoes with three little boys who are 3 and under. The newborn phase was the hardest for me--a person who craves alone time to create(or just have a cup of coffee). The other posters have said very true things. It is so short-lived, try not to panic. You will get your groove back. But I know those words of advice are cold comfort when you're lacking sleep and showers. The best thing I did for myself was get out of the house with the baby whenever possible and get to know other mamas. The other stuff will still be here. And just about the time you think you might seriously lose your mind, it'll get just a little easier... and then easier still. Hang in there!

As others have said, I remember it well. I had my 4th last October (and I'm not even Catholic, Mormon or a farmer!) MOST babies need the kind of attention you are giving your daughter. There is no more important place to be right now than where you are. The first baby is such a joy and wonder and at the same time the most difficult to adjust to. Suddenly you don't even have a thought of your own. That little creature is on your mind always. It does get easier, but be kind to yourself in the meantime. It's okay to be "just" a mom for now.
