Hi everyone my name is Jen and I'm new here. I'm a first time mom with a baby boy that was born last week 9/4. He's amazing.
I'm married and my husband is back to work. I'm on maternity leave. I'm having trouble adjusting to the lack of sleep and baby blues. I'm looking for other moms to connect with. Any advice for a new mom?

@Stargleam: Yea! You will find tons of support here! Congratulations on your new little one! The first 2-3 weeks were the toughest getting used to my new "life" and recovry and the first 6 weeks were the roughest with breastfeeding. After that things really got easier!
-
Welcome! You will find lots of advice and support here!
My advice would be to get as many cuddles as possible before returning to work!
-
No advice as our LO is due in 2 months but just want to say WELCOME!! You're in the perfect place for a welcoming community that's full of great advice!
Oh, and, CONGRATULATIONS!!
-
Welcome & congratulations!!!! Things will get easier and if you've fed yourself and brushes your teeth today, I'd call it a win
-
Welcome
Congrats. Just take it day by day for now.

Welcome!

Hi! Welcome and congratulations! I've heard a bit of sunlight everyday is good for the baby blues. If you suspect it's getting deeper than that, definitely don't hesitate speaking to your doctor about it!

Welcome and congratulations on your son!
My DH only got 3 days of paternity leave, and although my mom was there for two weeks I was still on my own pretty early, so I understand!
I completely agree with @shopaholic: getting outside and getting some sun and fresh air was such a mood-booster for both me and my DS. And I promise that every day will get a little bit easier!

@Stargleam: Welcome! You should join us in the September 2013 Mamas group. Some of us have already had our babies (one delivered today!) and some are still waiting (like me).

Welcome and congratulations on your new little boy! My only advice is to not be afraid to ask for help. Ask any and all questions you may have on here, and don't be afraid to ask friends or family to help out at home!
-
Welcome, I was lucky that my dh had 6 months off after we had lo, getting out of the house really did help me. Even if it was just a walk around the neighborhood.
-
Thank you all for the warm welcome! I look forward to getting to know you all

Welcome! You've certainly found a great community- the wealth of information is astounding. As a new mom (baby born Aug 16), I've found Hellobee invaluable. Welcome again!
-
Welcome and congratulations! I was so emotional during the first 8 weeks, I craved sleep, and cried over everything. It's okay to cry, you will feel better! HelloBee has been my fave online community ever since I had my baby.

Welcome!

Welcome and congrats!!

Welcome!!

@Kimberlybee: I'm glad I'm not the only one that craves sleep and cries.
It's hard being a new mom! I love my little man and just want to make him happy and it's hard when he won't sleep and gets super fussy!
