I feel like I'm still working on it. As soon as I get comfortable she switches things up on me or something else goes screwy.

It comes and goes honestly...some days I'm like, ok I got this sahm thing under control! Te next, the house is a mess, Lo is fussy and I just want a big glass if wine at 1pm lol.

5.5 months was when his naps started consolidating and night sleep was way easier... So then I could actually get something done during the day and also have free time at night. No matter how cranky he is now its not as bad as when he was having to be rocked to sleep and napping for 30 minutes tops!

Ask me when we have a house of our own again!

I didn't feel normal until DS was 1! I think it was mostly because we weren't established. I went back to college after he turned one. With DD, I was back in a routine by the time she was 2 months. We also planned very carefully and had everything we needed with her (a house of our own, safe cars, DH had been at his job for 5 years and finally started to gain seniority). The biggest difference was when our first was born DH was making half of what he does now so we were stretched thin and stressed.

Besides those major factors, I think I've grown into the parenting role and the routine becomes natural/nornal. Now that I have two, I feel comfortable having 3!

At 6 months with sleep training, life felt like it got into a groove again. I also started doing some work from home which helped to keep the house clean too.

I'm not as social as I was before, but getter better. Today, we did a mom's group thing at a pie shop. I'm working on my weight and finding more local mom friends for support than some of my previous friend groups.
