    I agree it is hard to make friends IRL. I used to be the center of the social circle and now I'm not sure where to find one!

      My heart goes out to you right now. I have a two year old son, and those first few months after he was born were more difficult than I'd ever anticipated. It was such an adjustment to go from working full time to being at home full time and consumed by baby needs. Of course, like you, I adored him, but did experience similar emotions like you have described. It was helpful to for me to read this article "Stay at Homes: How to Take Care of Yourself" (removed outbound link) I came across in my time with Focus on the Family. You might even consider joining a group that's designed to encourage moms. I've been a part of MOPS (removed outbound link) and it's been so great to meet other moms that are going through the same things I am. I hope this helps! Grace and peace to you.

        It would be good for hubby to learn everything to keep junior happy, fed and sleeping when he wants to. What does he do and what doesn't he do?

          Oh he is a wonderful father! He knows how to do everything that needs to be done, and he can always make him smile <3
          He has never had to do it on his own though.
