| About me |
| I am a SAHM to a fantastic child. I decided after having a premature baby, nearly 2 months early, that it was time for me to stay home and try and come up with a plan of making money from home. I started with ebay and became a powerseller within 6 months. Wow, was I excited...

 Maintaining Your Sanity

Ok... so now we are establishing there will be times you question your sanity throughout the baby process... So, here are some tips to keep yours. First, do not get bogged down to the point of losing it...your sanity that is... What this means is, ASK FOR HELP! Ask your husband, family or friends, if need be, to come over and just watch the baby for a couple hours, or even 1 hour,(heck 15 minutes will do), so that you are able to regain what you haven't quite lost yet...lol... Call someone if no one is around, even find someone to watch while you are in the house if needed... even to take a shower in peace. What a nice thing it is to have 5-10 minutes in the shower to clear your head in this time. You must do something to avoid getting yourself so stressed that you feel you are going to go a little kookoo or that your baby will feel your anxiety. Also, take a few deep breaths and after putting your little bundle to rest for his afternoon nap, take a breather yourself... whether it be curling up with a good book (or your favorite baby blog...lol), talking to a friend (maybe someone who understands just exactly what you are going through- this can help a great deal and is cheaper than therapy), taking that shower if you didn't get it before, or taking a nap yourself. I find it relaxing myself to get on the computer and surf... but, that's just me. Ok... so now you've had a shower(hopefully...lol) and you have had some time to yourself, now the laundry...ahhhh~ it never ends does it... Well, I find the only way to stay on top of it is to do a load every day. Also, plan out some quick and easy meals to make...ones that do not require a lot of thought or preparation, but that will keep you going and staying healthy. Speaking of health.... keep yourself healthy! I know this sounds like a no brainer, but really- take your vitamins, eat as healthy as you can, do some daily exercise of some kind, like walking with your little one in the stroller around the block, or whatever you enjoy and stay clear of others with colds. You do not want to be sick, obviously, so that you can better take care of your little one as well as not causing yourself more stress by getting them sick either. Alright,ok, my hubby says,Tivo is a must too...lol... I have to agree that watching some of your fave. shows can help alleviate stress as well. We also started playing Soduku to help with anxiety... The last thing, but certainly not last, for now is power of prayer and positivity. If you have both of these in your life there is nothing that can stand in your way to happiness and maintaining sanity throughout the proces... and most of all~ Enjoy the process along the way! One day you will look back and remember it fondly... heck I already have :0)
