Baby blues
The last days I have gone through a world wind of emotions. They come and go at strange times, often the moment I least expect them. Yesterday was no different, and in fact my evening was spent mostly shedding tears. Reinout is exhausted. Not so strange as our life has been turned on its head. It takes time to adapt to the new situation. And in the midst of all of this, there is a little baby boy that deserves all the love and attention he can get.
In my usual fashion I want to be in control and run on a schedule. The latter has always been a source of comfort for me. It’s what keeps me going and gives structure to life. Although some people, my husband included, may be quick disagree, I am thinking of making a schedule for myself, plugging in the operational family chores and activities which I have now lost a grip on. Laundry, shopping, cooking and meal times. I also want to spend less time in front of the telly. At the moment it completely zaps my energy. Lately we’ve gone into the habit of having dinner in the dining room, but as our dining room is connected with the TV area, we often have the television on. Hmm, I feel a change coming on…
Sebastian after his latest feeding
don´t put so much pressure on yourself, you must live in the moment. Take a deep breath and calm down, please, and the baby doesn´t need so much now, just feed him and change him, it´s enough, I promise you, give the attention to your daughter end husband…later on Sebastian will need much more attention later but not now
