Put that baby in the bouncer or swing or vibrating chair, pop him in front of a Teletubbies epsidode if you have to, and take a few minutes for yourself for something you would like to do, even if it is sit and do absolutely nothing but breathe with your eyes closed.  I used to put mine in the vibrating chairs and stick them next to the tub and take a loooong shower.  Or, better yet, call a grandma or babysitter and get a bigger break.  Shopping is very therapeutic ;)  Also, getting some fresh air is important when you feel cooped up in the house all day, especially at this time of year.  Bundle the bundle of joy up and go for even a short walk; it will boost your spirits.  Be sure when Daddy does come home that you hand the little one off so he has some baby time, too.  A unhappy mommy means everyone is unhappy, so be sure to make time for yourself, no matter how hard or trivial it seems.  Mama said there'd be days like this, but they won't all be like this.  Chin up, you can do it!   

From a mom of identical twin 3 1/2 year old girls. 

p.s. One day you'll miss being covered in spit up :)

I remember.  I remember how much I love my daughter.  I remember how she is such a miracle.  I remember how lucky I am to have her in my life, how empty it was before her.  No spit up, great hair days, size 10 jeans....haha.....but EMPTY.  That's what I do, and it works every time!  :)
