I've had my ups and downs too--staying at home is really hard. I hope you can reach out to some friends and tell them when you just need to have some adult conversation, or take a walk just to get a change in scenery. That really helps me when I feel down! Hang in there!amyeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254824027600599049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852306677070926015.post-60408740702052772862015-05-23T19:25:31.511-04:002015-05-23T19:25:31.511-04:00Hi Amy!

She is so cute �� My daughter was born 11/15 so I love to get perspectives from other parents. She has been a handful & parenting her has been not at all what I thought. I stay at home & the days are long & I get depressed sometimes. Reading your story made me feel ashamed to get so worked up about my life. What I deal with is nothing compared to what is on your & little Evie's plate. And you seem to handle it so gracefully! I look forward to reading more & I wish you the best �� Nicolenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-852306677070926015.post-85986070235974599442015-05-05T11:47:55.474-04:002015-05-05T11:47:55.474-04:00Thanks, Aleem!
