Man, I can't stress enough how much they help me when our son wont stop screaming! Whenever I feel like I'm at wits end, I hand him off to the hubbs and go hang outside for a little bit. Seriously- it's SUCH a reliever! It makes me think clearly again and able to make good decisions.
Whats funnier is when I was in the hospital (Which is one of the states top hospitals) literally, 6 nurses and 1 midwife told me not to shake the baby if were stressed. WTF????? They finally stopped when I told them I wasn't stupid and not to tell me that anymore. Like who would do that? Well, apparently a lot of people considering how many times it was said to me. And what's even weirder like this has happened to every one I know! Is it like a mandatory thing? I have no idea. At one point I was like, "Fucker, I'm a RN. I know what the hell I'm doing." Anywho.
Ladies- there's nothing wrong at all about taking breathers. Yes, I know my blog states that I'm a supermom but of course, I'm far from it :] Just remember that you are important too <3
We all need one!
