A part time single mom



So I'm having mixed feelings about my husband being home. I am super excited don't get me wrong. But We are both new parents. My husband hasn't met our daughter yet, she is 4 months old. So from the time she was born it has just been me and her, we have a routine and I'm afraid of how to fit my husband into this routine. After being a single mom for four months I am hoping that he can just jump right in and get familiar with how things go for the baby and me. I shouldn't worry about it like I do, I should just be thankful for him to be home. I just want everything to go smoothly for our family. Hopefully I'll be able to have a happy update in a few months.

I hope everything comes together and the transition goes smoothly.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Stopping from Mom Loop! I hope you will stop by and visit me too.

There will be stress and there may be some tensions even-- but just know that it would be like that even if he had been home. Lack of sleep and new responsibilities can buckle everyone. On the plus side, you can now have a breather!

Hi there! Stopping by from Mom Loop.
He must be excited but nervous too. I hope the homecoming is perfect and that you enjoy having someone to share in the chaos :-)

Stopping in from Mom Loop, but I wanted to let you know so many other mom's have been in your shoes, so you're not alone. I don't know if this will work, but start getting to know your hubby again first, then help him with your daughter. If he knows that he still has you, then he'll feel so much more support, and love when it comes to learning to be a dad. Good Luck!

I can imagine that from going from "single mom" parenting to both dad and mom would be really difficult. You've had a long time to bond with baby and dad is just getting used to the idea of baby. I can also imagine that it would be wonderful to watch as he fumbles through diapers and baths. A strong military guy holding a baby just melts my heart.
