Now that I am a mother for 8 months in and counting, I have realized some things every now and then, here and there.
And today there was a very strong realization that hit me when I was showering (of course, when else would I ever be alone in this house now? Ha ha ha..), that for the past 27 years of my life (ok, maybe take away 2-3 years),
I have been taking the luxury of showering in peace, for granted.
Sure, the husband can be there to handle everything outside of the toilet, but Phantom Hearing is real and why would I be spared from it right?
& when the husband is not around to hold my son, I have to have him:
1, in a safe holding area of which he never seems to be OK with and will wail until you pick him up, or
2, have him right outside the toilet, in a safe and seated set up, occasionally whining and crying to be picked up.
Before anyone comes at me for saying & realizing this, I know (and very much hope) that this is not going to be permanent.
I just needed to get this out of me, to keep me sane.
Just like how I need to be munching on shrimp snacks while typing all these because I just fed my son (& yay me for him being asleep now!!).
- It's 0141 (true to time of type) now.
Tillagain.
