Okay, it’s about that time.
As most of you know I’m a new mom for the second time and although I’m
truly grateful for my little marshmallow, I’m a bit overwhelmed. I have forgotten or actually abandoned myself
in trying to take care of everyone else’s needs before my own. In my mind if
Ellison, Adjei and Joaquin are happy and healthy then that will trickle down to
me. The reality of it is I keep getting
sick, I’m angry with my husband, and I want to move to Texas. That’s the truth.
Shit damn it’s hard to take care of yourself during
change. I can start with baby steps,
tummy time for mommy. For those of you
who have never heard of tummy time it’s when you put the baby on their belly so
they can practice holding their head up to strengthen their neck. So there are a few things that bring me a lot
of peace. First is prayer. Second is eating more fruits and vegetables
and tracking what I eat because I suffer from eating amnesia. Third, is exercise and fourth is
writing. I will keep this all in mind
today to take baby steps with my self-care.
Here I go!
