Being a new mom takes up A LOT of your time …
And not just that , you tend to voluntarily give it up to your little bundle.
This affected my marriage on every level ; little conversations about our days disappeared because its bath time, intimacy disappeared because , well, you are way to tired to even brush your hair , let alone feel sexy.
One word … HORMONES ! (The crazy mood swings)
The sleep deprivation is a whole other ball game .. you both seem to crack under the pressure you put on yourself and you end up fighting about him looking at you funny ! 🤣
The key is to breathe and let it pass , give each other space to adapt to this whole new world of being a parent because its HUGE the first time , for both of you , and in different ways.
Finding myself in this new role, I had to consciously make an effort to give some of my time to my marriage, to sit and listen and just chat again, this is why bedtime is so important in our house, and we stick by it because it means that we have time together.
Who said being a wife and a mother is easy ?

Oh, dear!
I want to make a change to my married life too. We want to have a baby.
We are so young and for sure we don’t know that much about parenting.
But time will tell and I’m sure beautiful moments will come too.
Have a nice sunday and patience! 🙂
