Sleepless Mom

A blog for moms

Maintaining A Sense Of Self After Having A Baby

It seems like these days are all about nap times and diaper changes. I’m a long way from my pre-pregnancy self who enjoyed a girl’s night out maybe a little too much. I was once the girl that never missed a happy hour or a chance to get out with girlfriends.

Now, with a baby, things have changed. Invites for last minute trips and girls nights have definitely slowed down. Let’s face it, if your girlfriends don’t have babies, they do not want to talk about baby stuff!

It's important to make time for yourself after your baby is born. Maintaining your sense of self, and doing the things you love, is good for you and your family!

Even though these little beings have turned our world upside down, it’s important to find balance. Having a baby doesn’t mean your world has to drastically change. It doesn’t mean you should wear sweatpants every day. Well, you can most days! : )

Keeping your identity and taking time for yourself is important for your confidence. Stay sexy for your husband! Go out and treat yourself to a mani/pedi!

Being a happy mom carries over into your relationships with your family and enriches your life.

Just because your priorities have changed, it doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy yourself and the things that make you YOU!

About Jessica

Jessica Sleepless Mom Welcome sleepless moms! I haven’t had a full nights rest in over 2 years. Why, you ask? Because like you, juggling a toddler and a baby, working, and finding time for myself has left me sleepless, yet full of joy.

The inspiration for my blog came from tirelessly searching online for the answers new moms have, just to find out there is no right answer. My hope and vision is to create a community for moms to comment and share real life stories with one another when Google just isn’t cutting it. Whether you have specific questions or just want to comment and relate, this is your space to ask your fellow moms advice and know you’re not the only one that screws up from time to time.

I have assembled a well-rounded team that’s here to share their struggles and successes with you, as well as offer support in any way possible. This is an interactive site and we are here to cater to your mom needs. Please feel free to contact our team members with new topics you want us to tackle or even simple questions about motherhood. That’s what we are here for….
