This weekend has truly been enlightening. On Saturday
afternoon I attended my very first sip and paint. I spent a few hours
that were well deserved out of my place and without my baby for the very
first time in 6 weeks.
I made sure my husband had a few bags of breastmilk ready for the baby
before I headed out. I was a bit nervous being that it was my first time
leaving my baby with my husband while I head out too.
We all have possibly
felt the urge while shopping to treat ourselves to a little something
nice. I know I have and can honestly say it with a grin. But when does
treating yourself to something nice conflicts with your current
financial situation? Believe it or not, there are people who will charge
their credit card to the max or even their debit card to just feel and
look like they are living a life of financial comfort, but are suffering
to make rent or mortgage on a monthly basis.
My breastfeeding experience began the same day that I gave birth to my
son, October 29th, 2017. I started off feeling discouraged. I didn't
know anything about producing colostrum. At
the hospital, I delivered at their lactation specialists were amazing.
They didn't pressure me into breastfeeding my newborn and they were very
hands-on and supportive in my decision to breastfeed.
After
I gave birth to my first child life as a mother really started to hit
me hard. I was no longer working due to me not having any close family
members near me that I can trust to watch my child so I can have the option to return back
to work. I was a loner too.
Going to work or just
heading out the door and seeing other humans and interacting with them
was one of the many highlights of my day. Life has changed for me and I
embraced it all along with motherhood. I just wanted to share a few things that a lot of women won't tell you about becoming a stay at home mother for the very first time.
