Relaxation Station

They are not lying when they said having a baby changes everything.
I realized this as soon as they test turned positive, and during my 9 months of pregnancy, I mentally and physically prepared for our new edition. I knew right then, that every decision I made from that point on would not only affect me, but my unborn child.

Bringing my son (carson) into this world has been a true blessing! He is so full of love and is so happy most of the time. He has had some issues since being born though, and we have been in and out of the pediatricians office and the childrens hospital quite a few times.. BUT REST ASSURE HE IS FINE !!

Anyone with a new baby understands the sleepless nights, restless days and lack of alone time.. I used to enjoy staying up all night studying or going out (depedent on the season and day of the week) and sleeping whenever I felt like it. I could come and go as I pleased and really enjoyed my alone time (whether it was working out, studying, tanning, going for a walk or simply sitting outside) .
Well obviously things are different now and I am not complaining at all !
However now I do enjoy my 15-20 minute drive to and from school, seeing as that is the only me time I truely have..

Today, however i drove to the tanning bed and tanned for about 15 minutes... As  I laid in the bed, I fell asleep and felt so relaxed. .. The buzzer went off and I am not going to lie to anyone - I STAYED PUT FOR A SOLID EXTRA 10 MINUTES hahah , hey man you gotta take your time when your parked at RELAXATION STATION . haha

So my advice to others and to myself - when you get the opportunity to take sometime for yourself, do it ! After 20 minutes of absolute alone time (granted i was naked, in a bed that eventually turned cold) I feel like a whole new person !

<3 you have to find time in a daily routine to help yourself out.
