There's Hope in Company

I am not alone.  There are other women that have had babies and deal with the same stuff that I am.  Balancing the love of the cutest little boy in the world (really, he's cute) with the frustration of not being myself anymore.  I'm not just Jennifer.  I'm Mama.  I'm the one that he trusts to feed him when he's hungry and snuggle him when he's just crabby and sometimes be climbed on when he's feeling energetic.  He's learning to crawl and walk simultaneously (he's got the mobility of crawling and the positioning of walking but not both for both).  I get overwhelmed because I'm trying to be the same person I was 10 months ago before I had a new baby.  But I'm not.  I'm a Mama now.

I have some amazing new friends online.  They might not know me but I'm following their blogs and learning from their experiences.  They are just normal moms like me and sharing what they know.  I'm not alone!
