Baby, baby, baby….enough already, you need some time away from everything baby!  If you let it, it can overwhelm you. Enough about baby. You’re going to be a mom. It will be all encompassing until you find your balance.

SO START NOW!

Seriously. Start now. Figure out a plan to remind you of who you are other than mother. Yes, you are that baby’s mother, but you are also you. What did I ask my husband to do for me once the baby was born? Let me get a bath in nightly, on my own, no worries, no issues, no interruptions.

It was a Sanctuary.  My haven.

My other haven? Reading romance books. So, you know what…whatever your favorite genre is….find a book and read it now. It might be awhile before you’re balanced enough to add your pleasure reading back into any sort of life routine.

Find a really great steamy love story or thriller and dedicate some alone time.  You could use the distraction, and there is such a thing as information overload. Give yourself a chance to read something you love and enjoy.

Some of our guilty pleasures over the past year or so?

• Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series
• Hush, hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
• Anything by Nicolas Sparks – read the book first, then enjoy the total chick flick!

As far as the delivery seems it will be here before you know it! What are some of your guilty reading pleasures?
