Thanks for your comments and support! I just pampered myself with a long shower while my Mom took care of the babe and my Dad took my 3 year old to the park. What a difference from my typical 3-5 minute shower with the door open and curtain cracked. Shaved and exfoliated, I feel wonderfully human!!
I plan to go out with a couple friends on Thursday, with the baby of course, but adult conversation will be nice. Yesterday I remembered that I used to take baths every once in awhile with my son as a baby. It was fun bonding time and water is just so soothing for me. I'm scheduling one of these baths with my baby about once a week from now on and hopefully these little things will help maintain my sanity!

I'm glad you are finding a balance...we all need it!!!
Give yourself time. It takes awhile to adjust. Good for you taking time for yourself!
Glad to see you got a little respite. My baby is 12 weeks today and I have been feeling a little overwhelmed as well. This week my in laws took the older kids for the week. It has been nice to finally catch up on the stuff I have been trying to do for the last 3 months! Oh...and I read a book!
I know exactly what you are talking about! Just having the house free of children for 10 minutes does a world of good for me. Today Hubs took the kids for a walk and it was nice to stay at home and eat candy WITHOUT sharing!! :-)
Hope you're feeling better, finding some "you" time...even though it's nearly impossible to come by. At least there's blogging right? ;)
you are so lucky to have parents close by (or that I am assuming anyway) my hubby's out of town and I don't have any parents here to take the grandkids out for a while.. oh well in a few weeks my man should be home.. enjoy the night out!! and that's a cool idea about taking the babe with u for a bath, I'll have to try it..

Glad you are finding balance.
Amazing what a nice shower can do, huh.
