That sounds like a great mothers group! There is a women’s group at our church, and a few other mom’s groups. I should look into joining one. Thanks!

I hear you about early bedtimes. Most nights I have been passing out by 9. Look forward to reading your post whenever you get the chance to write it. God Bless!

“Having a baby seemed to unearth a lot of issues.”
Yep. Same here. Dealing with increased stress levels on little sleep amid huge hormonal fluctuations, taxed me quite a bit, it brought out all sorts of things that had been brewing for a while unbeknownst to me.

Would love to catch up and talk about it more some time!

This is a great list. A huge amen to the babysitting. Hope you all are feeling better!

Friends are very important when there are no family members close by. When I was raising my older kids, I had a friend with whom I shared almost daily sanity checks. Another outlet was a “mothers of young children group” that was established at my church. We had meetings at the church biweekly and met at various parks alternating weeks. We did pay a small fee to cover babysitters. There were speakers on a variety of subjects: pediatricians, family vacation information, pampering ourselves as mothers – as we tend to put everyone’s needs first. We had a “mom’s night out” once a month.

<3 The little support group we have as friends is a major blessing. Thanks for your openness with your personal issues. If I can ever get over needing to get to bed in the 8 o'clock hour, I'll be adding my story to the list of blogs that might inspire others to seek help.

Great list! Hurrah for evenings “off”! . . . I went to counseling for about 12 months, several years ago. Having a baby seemed to unearth a lot of issues. I graduated out of it, but I wonder if I should go back some time. We’ll have to talk some time about which counselor you’re going to and what it’s like.
