Friends

I know my blog posts a couple of weeks back were a little blue. As you know, I was feeling rather overwhelmed and you got to hear all about it. Well, I'm still quite overwhelmed, but I now have friends (yay!).

I met another mom through one of the baby groups I go to, that also happens to be a neighbor. She lives a block away from our house and has a beautiful baby girl. We pretty much clicked right away and have been hanging out a bit since.

Also, another mom from another group has been very friendly, and I've opened up with her about how overwhelmed I've been feeling. She has offered to take Evan to give me a breather or to get together and let our kids play while we chat. I might take her up on it next week, since my dear husband will be out of town for work.

Slowly but surely, I feel like I have a support system outside of my husband. As I spend more time with some of these moms I feel less alone in this path. And I feel that if at some point my day is not going well, I can call someone and make my day better just by leaving the house to hang out with someone that gets it.

So I'm still not sure how I'll survive those first few months with a baby and a toddler, but at least now I know I will.
