Caring for newborn and running day home

[mickyc]

I certainly don't know how you women do it! When I had my daughter (I didn't start my daycare until she was 8 months old) I was so sore. I was so sleep deprived and I often just sat on the couch and cried from being so overwhelmed and that is just with 1 baby (my daughter was colicky). We cannot afford to have me not work and therefore have made the choice to not have any more children (even though I am not sure if I can have any more even if I wanted to).

My hats off to all you women!!

That was me with my first. And eventually we also found out I had hypothyroidism too. Colick was awful!

I used to wonder why everyone else seemed to be doing so much better than me. I'm happy to say, with my second daughter, I was that mom that was doing unbelievably well. It isn't always awful.

Superfun-that was me as well! I went back to work after 10-11 weeks and I was a mess! So tired and crying a lot! I was also then diagnosed with hypothyroidism.

However, this time around my husband will be taking parental leave for as long as is allowable so I can get the rest I need too!

I don't know how you ladies managed being back at work after 2 weeks!
