I have been having a really hard day with "Mommy Guilt" as my steadfast companion. I am a first time mommy to 10-month-old Gus and I feel guilty when I have those days I wish I could just crawl back in bed and be alone. AWFUL. Thankfully those days are very rare but he brings such joy to my life and when I do get a day away, I miss him the entire time. I just night-weaned him two weeks ago and I thought it was going to be such an ordeal. It only took him two nights. It turns out, I am the one that needed time to adjust. As tired as I was waking up with him 2-3 times a night, I never want to forget those precious moments in the dark where it was just my sweet baby Gus and me while the rest of the world slept. Thank you for sharing your heart about The Guilt...what an icky side effect of Mommyhood. Have a great weekend!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06151855695848436312noreply@blogger.com
