Do you ever feel overwhelmed?? Okay, okay stop laughing. I knew it was a silly question when I asked it, but I also knew you needed a laugh today. The truth is from the minute we saw the positive on the pregnancy test, we began to feel overwhelmed. You may have asked:
"Am I ready for this?"
"Will I be a good mom?"
"How will we afford a baby?"
"Where will we put the baby?"
"What will happen to my body?"
"Will I ever get to spend time with my husband again?"
And then a few months later the baby arrives and all of those questions are answered. If you are like me you probably replaced those questions with new ones like:
"What did I do with all of my spare time before we had the baby?"
"Why is she changing so fast?"
"How many diapers do I have to change today?"
"When was the last time I ate, slept or had a shower?"
"Will I ever get to spend time with my husband again?"
(Yes, I know I asked the last question twice, but I really like my husband). The truth is after having a baby, time seems to speed up and it becomes harder and harder to feel like you are getting everything done in a day. You may not have big plans, but going to the grocery store or visiting Grandma, can sometimes take all of the energy you have to spend. Keeping that in mind, I have decided to help make your life a little easier with this month's prize basket. I have put together a few things to make those outings not so stressful. How would you like a "basket" a.k.a cooler filled with ice packs, a hand pump, nursing pads, nursing cream, sunscreen for baby and information about our next infant feeding classes? I thought you might!
Stop by the health center and enter our monthly prize drawing today! Or of course, you can call, text, email me or just click on the contact us button below or the one in the side bar and I will get you signed up.
Good Luck!
