Im a fist time mom and I finally feel like myself for the first time since being pregnant. My little peanut is almost 16 weeks old. After having her, I was not prepared for the sleep deprivation or hormones. I found myself crying, anxious, and completely neurotic over everything. I even had my husband take apart our bed and of the mattress on the floor so I could put a co sleeper bassinet next to me. Didn't Cooke or clean or leave the house. I worried about every little thing that could go wrong and I didn't get to enjoy the first few weeks with my daughter. My life has completely changed and sometimes I miss being able to do some of the things I used to but this little human brings a different feeling to my heart. I gained over 50 pounds while pregnant my hair turned orange (big dye job mistake) and my face broke out with horrible acne, really horrible. I lost 40 pounds in two months (I think it was just breastfeeding) my hair is fixed and I finally feel confident as a mother. I am no longer the person I once was. I have a new perspective on everything. Being a mom isn't easy or what I expected but I'm so glad it happened. Since I've been pregnant my husband and I have grown together tremendously and bought our first house. This is all just a random rant but I'm just really grateful for my life right now and thought I'd share. If any new mommies feel down in the dumps and overwhelmed, it gets better :)
