Before each baby has come my nesting instinct for the month before or so is to deep clean the house to perfection. I take the daily routine I have and completely max it out. Then once home with that snuggly new baby myself and for our most recent edition my husband and mom kept up with. This lasts a few weeks and then things get over run though.
The overwhelmed exhausted new mommy in me can’t keep up and just wants those snuggles. Finding that new routine adding a 3rd has taken some time. Finally I’ve started to hit that point with him over 5 months old.
Most moms I know go through this rut no matter what the number and even no matter what age their kids are. It’s a vicious circle of caught up and can’t! It’s too often something that is never talked about!
Every kid my worst time is 3 months to 6ish months postpartum. I go into that rut with not just the house but with people too. I shut myself in enjoy my kids and avoid the world. As a SAHM if you know me well enough you know my house is a reflection of where my feelings are.
If the house is destroyed I’m likely going through something whether it be exhaustion or a depressed funk you can tell by looking around. If it’s really bad I’ll be sure you don’t even make it in to see. That’s just my way and we are all different, but it’s all normal too!
