Today I wish I could have one day to reset at a spa and have a massage on my lower back and hips. I wish I could sleep through it and just reset but at the same time not feel guilty for leaving my baby !!! I just want to be the best mom I can be but sometimes I just want to be taken care of as well! ![]()
I can relate! Like I don’t want to be away from my baby, but I could definitely use a spa day and would love to catch up on some sleep. I try to do little things like a 3 minute face mask or epsom salt infused lotion on my feet to feel normal again. I know it’s not much, but some days it makes all the difference
Epsom salt foot baths is what I do but the lotion sounds like a dreammm!!! I need to get some of that!!!
The one I use is by Dr Teal
I love your wish! That sounds amazing. Hopefully it can come true for mother’s Day for you. I hate how much we feel guilty when we leave our littles. I miss mine so much when I’m not with them.
You care for your baby in many ways, every day. It is okay to take a minute for yourself. That is love too. Hugs ![]()
My baby is not here yet but I do feel you. Self Care is so important as a Mother, so you can show up as the best mother that you already are but just more refreshed. As long as baby is with someone you trust, you deserve to be pampered. ![]()
You read my mind! ![]()
That’s the kind I use too for the foot baths I had no idea they had lotion good to know thankyou!!!
Begging for some TLC
The best care we can give comes when we take care of ourselves, I just need to hear it from someone else hahaha
It’s so real, I try so hard to do things for myself but then just end up missing my baby. Even taking a bath I’ll be feeling guilt which is wild
Yea. It doesn’t get easier. I have a 4.5 year old and an 11 month old. I’ve had him crying at the door during my bath before. It broke my heart. I tend to cut it short unless the kids are with me in there. I’m a bit jealous of my husband’s bathroom time tho ![]()
Oh you are in a whole different ball park! Two babies seems way different!! Beautiful but I always tell myself I can’t complain when I just have one. But he’s a Velcro boy hahaha his father gets off pretty easy which is fine but I too get jealous from time to time ![]()
My first was a velcro baby. Still is. He had to have me holding him to sleep or he would wake up. It does get easier. Unless you have another then you just embrace the chaos.
I get that way too! I felt guilty for not bringing my daughter into the shower with me the other day. All I could think about is how much fun she would be having squealing and splashing in the bottom of the tub
It is so hard you need a minute for yourself but feel guilty for getting a minute by yourself and miss them ![]()
By the way Your son has the cutest little outfits!
Oh my gosh thankyou!!! His father and I love getting him in little dapper outfits hahah it’s too stinking cute
I know right!!! It’s so hard to find a balance
