Being in the parent club is more worth it than anything BUT you kinda wanna shake every single person, newly married without kids person and say, 'do you realize what you can do because you don't have kids!' Now come and babysit mine so I can do that too! hahaBrittneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903859050560679739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793952629315961818.post-75656404198332078782012-10-15T08:06:30.362-04:002012-10-15T08:06:30.362-04:00I would love to care for Emmie for an entire weeke...I would love to care for Emmie for an entire weekend so you & Ben can go out and sleep in. Just pick a date and pump lots to get a good reserve for princess bean to eat. She will be well loved and cared for.<br />Love you and glad to read your honest post. I felt the same way 27 years ago.

My sweet baby Mason is 9 weeks old today and being our first child, this is a complete life changer. He is a wonderful addition to our family, but you do miss the normal routine pre-baby sometimes. I'm getting ready to head back to work in several weeks too, so things should get really interesting then!

There are still some of those things I miss but you adjust it becomes a new normal but very different from life before children. I agree with Lauren it does get better, you grow a lot and change your first year of parenthood and then it just sort of becomes the norm. You will shower again, you will sleep in, and you will find your routine that works for you. It just takes time.

It's all worth it, but there are definitely days when I miss leisurely getting ready for a date night or sleeping in as late as I want.

I am ...Oh Jen, you are most definitely not alone. I am convinced that the transition from zero kids to 1 kid has to be the hardest transition since it is a complete lifestyle change. But some encouragement: it does get better. Emmie will get older and not require so much planning and you/ben will adjust to your new lifestyle and grow in so many ways Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07528452270481641936noreply@blogger.com
