Re: New mom here to baby Elaina
You are definitely not alone! Lots of new mommy's like me on this site. I am adjusting as well, DH took off the first two weeks when Taylor came home from the hospital. Luckily, I have my parents who watch her for at least an hour every day so I can get out even if its just to go to Target or something.
You have to let him know that you need to get out a little even if its just for coffee or something to keep your sanity. Men are usually very bad at reading minds!

Re: New mom here to baby Elaina
Congrats and welcome! I felt the same way as you at the beginning and still do in some ways. My DH and I have fought about the fact that he can come and go as he pleases, sleep when he wants etc, yet I have to arrange for the care of another before I even think about any of thoses things. After I talked to him about it, it has gotten better, but I still feel overwhelmed. Every new thing that happens throws me for a loop. So, no you are not alone. Hang in there!

Congratulations on your baby girl, she is beautiful!
Sorry about your DH, I would do what the pp said and leave him home for a while with the baby while you get some time for yourself, good luck!
I totally agree!! Welcome to the boards and yes, you are not alone

Re: New mom here to baby Elaina
Congratulations on your new little baby, and welcome. I LOVE yer name by the way, and she IS beautiful!
I will tell you in the first few months, I fantasized about leaving DH! I felt like I was a single mother anyway so at least if it were only DD and I, I would at least only have 1/2 the mess to clean up! Well, I didn't leave him, and here we are a year later, and things are fine. DH is wonderful with DD (he was from the beginning too though), and sometimes I think he loves her more than I do, if that's possible! I will tell you though, he still comes and goes as he pleases. This week alone, we are getting ready for her 1st birthday party and he has been out 3 nights this week (in addition to working every day), and he is going out again tomorrow night. In addition, she has been sick since Monday night. I believe alot of this is my fault since he does ask me if he can go out, and I never say no. I feel like I don't want to be the ogre and have him resent me, but I'm getting to the point where I'm not going to care about that anymore. My advice to you is to tell him how you feel and what you need. They all say they are not intuitive and they need to be told. So, start early so he won't feel like he is slapped in the face when you try to lay down the law a year from now.
Good luck, and believe me -- it WILL get easier!
