Loving My Baby; Missing My Old Life…

A very common theme, particularly among the highly successful, professional moms’ who are used to being in complete charge of their lives, accustomed to controlling their days, 24/7. Now… their lives have changed forever…of course, there is the falling madly in love with this new family member. There is also: Dads’ have gone back to work, grandparents have travelled back to their homes, friends have stopped dropping off pans of lasagna… now it’s you and the baby, day in and day out. Not always happy times…babies seem to eat nonstop and communicate by crying and just as you’re ready to load them into their car seats- they have an explosive poop…and so it goes-life in the Mom lane. To prevent loneliness from seeping into new family households, I strongly encourage all new parents to become part of an organized support group where there is an opportunity for social and emotional connection…
