I've never cried so much, been so anxious so much, fought so much (with the hubs), etc. It's madness. But each time, things get a little better and better. Must keep talking and talking and talking... And be honest! It helps. Hugs honey!

It's ok and you will "find" yourself again. 2 important things that no one tells you when or how to do find time for you and find time for your relationship. Even if it's a movie on the couch Saturday night after Aubrey goes to bed or 30 mi items to watch a tv show alone in your bedroom. Having even the smallest moment to do those things can make a world of difference. Being a parent also means teaching your little one how to take care of themselves as a person and you and T are Aubrey's first example of love and marriage. It is important for her to see you guys together. We do couch time some days where we just spend a few minutes talking and cuddling on the couch while the kids entertain themselves with Legos or what have you. When they interrupt we let them know we are having adult time and we will be with them in a minute. You will find your groove you just gotta keep going.

And it will just flow.<br />Having a baby is the biggest stress on a relationship; you are now no longer a couple but a family. It's a huge adjustment, and one that takes more than a day or week or a few months. Heck, it's constant adjusting! Each stage is a new first - first time parenting, first time parents of school age child, first time parenting a teenager. And friendships change, too. That's what's really hard. Some will move on without you, and some will become closer than ever.<br /><br />But yes, it does get easier. And remember, nothing is "perfect." Perfect is some abstract idea that society tries to force us into becoming. Just worry about what's right for you and your family.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14179273634809557825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537634935444359971.post-71044107664565343152012-08-14T10:25:28.053-04:002012-08-14T10:25:28.053-04:00CW is so right.

It won't be easy but this is the man you want to grow old with and the relationship needs your involvement. I am praying for all three of you.<br /><br />♥<br /><a href="http://lillian-davis.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Lily-Thinking Thoughts</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934178675925534780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3537634935444359971.post-4783643811245143082012-08-14T10:03:51.174-04:002012-08-14T10:03:51.174-04:00It will fall into place.

It will fall into place because you want it to and are willing to work at it! Most of us became parents by trial and error, by getting up every morning, by putting the family first. You are right on track.CWMartinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06798867734074134647noreply@blogger.com
