Working moms

I am a professional in the pediatric health care field and pregnant for the first time, 7 weeks now. (Oh, and I’m 39 y.o) I am soooooo exhausted, mentally and physically. I feel like I don’t even have the energy to think and I’m getting NOTHING done! I am not complaining, because I am ecstatic that I am pregnant, I just feel like a zombie! How do I get the motivation (mental energy) back?

Wow, I never realized all the information on Bundoo plus the great community makes it a place I will come back to again and again. My favorite article so far has been under Home Life….10 things not to say to your child

Before I make my statement, I will admit that this seems silly to even bring up, and I am aware of that fact. Having said that, I sometimes feel sadness and jealousy that my baby girl seems to favor my mother, who is her primary care giver during the day while my husband and I are at work! I know I’m very lucky that she doesn’t have to go to daycare, that my mom can take care of her. But I still get that pang when my daughter bumps her head or rubs her sleepy eyes and reaches for Nana. Any way to banish those feelings? I guess I’m just looking for reinforcement that I’m still important! Anyone else feel like that?
