It’s just hard to go through each and every day and feel like there is nothing that is your own anymore, nothing that resembles what your path once was, no time for yourself." AMEN! Thank you for writing this - its exactly how I've been feeling. “It’s what all moms/parents must deal with to some extent (college or not) - that loss of identity.

You are a wonderful mom, doing a wonderful job, with purpose. I agree that we are shaped by everything, past & present. And your mall sounds way cooler than mine...

When I was on maternity leave with my second child and struggling with the sameness of the days (you'll probably be even more house bound post-baby, but only for a while) I realized, hey, this is a job and I need to figure out some systems so that I can get things done without my kids melting down again and again and again (although that still happens plenty).

I think no matter what you do on a daily basis, being a Mommy is a busy job. Add into the factor that you are also growing a precious little one, well that also takes tremendous amounts of energy. I wish that we lived closer as we could have playdates and then Sam could come over to my place and run around with my little man, while you had an opportunity to have a REAL nap!! Chin up there Beth! You are a tremendous Mommy and woman! If you are ever in doubt, go back and read your posts. They are always full of wisdom and humour. Sounds like you and Sam had a busy week!!

It's hard sometimes, and we know it. So don't feel like your last post was anything but a nice big venting session - which is good, right? I’m glad you had a better week.

I know you are doing a fabulous job. It's easy to get down on yourself especially when you aren't feeling so hot already. And I know your lovely husband is working long hours which means that you are on your own most of the time. From the sounds of things you are coping amazingly well given the circumstances. I'm dying (DYING!) to see a photo of you and your baby tummy. As I scrolled down I was crossing my fingers that you snuck one in at the end. Thanks for the recipe. I think it's similar to the one that I made and is sitting in a ziploc in my fridge. I should really try it out sometime. The pictures, even though there were none of you, are great. Sam is a total cutie. I'm sure you know this but I think you are fantastic and I'm pulling for you!
