The more I thought about it the more clear it became that me not wearing make up had nothing to do with being more in touch with myself or more confident, It had a lot more to do with laziness, A lot more to do with not caring.
I find most mornings if we are not going anywhere I don't do my hair or wear makeup, Hell if I didn't think Matt would Freak out I might even stay in my PJ's all day.
I begin to think....… maybe I'm turning in to the stereotype wife, The type of wife that goes from glamour to slouch
Am I letting myself go?
I'm tired of being tired, H is only up once a night and sometimes sleeps through, So are I still so exhausted, when does the tiredness end? Maybe it doesn't.
Do we give so much to our children there is nothing left for us? I wonder what happens after a second child or a third.
I wonder what you cut out after the makeup and hair?
I find myself getting a little panicky at the thought of letting myself go and make a pack to make more effort at least for today.
I think you are beautiful with or without makeup but I totally understand what you mean. I feel the same way. I would never be caught dead going out in sweats and now, I don't care. I am also scared that I may have been letting myself go. A friend told me that as a first time mom, it will take at least 2 years from having your child for you to feel like yourself again.
ReplyDeleteTwo years.
I hope it comes sooner for us.
You are a natural beauty...so, no makeup and in your pj's...I'm sure you still look great! But I totally know what you mean...When does the tiredness end...we are giving everything we have to baby, work , house, hubby, there seems to be nothing left. I'm struggling with that myself. It will all be worth it in the end to raise amazing children!
ReplyDeleteI usually do my hair and makeup when going out. Otherwise I feel a little sloppy. I don't know the tiredness, since my baby somehow is an amazing sleeper and has been since the 4th week on. I think it's worth it though, I know some people look at me and think I'm craz for having a baby younger but she's like my little sidekick and I love her so much! cheers!
ReplyDeletebtw - I feel similar to you in feelings. Very wifey with chores and pjs at home. i guess that's why I like doing my photoshoots once a while, gives me a trendy thing to do lol (i've been staring at this screen for 4 hours and spaced on what i was writing above)
ReplyDeletecheers again, krizznel. your little dude is so cute by the way!
When my son was about 18 months I felt like I was getting myself back then I got pregnant. This time it took about a year. I'm back to cute clothes and make-up but not every day. It takes time and effort!
ReplyDeleteOh I hear ya!! Oh my gosh, I never do my hair or makeup... ugh. I even go out of the house like this on a daily basis (big gasp!). I told myself I'd make more of an effort but I just haven't yet. PS, you look great!
ReplyDeleteI now know where Harper gets those big beautiful eyes... His momma!
ReplyDeleteAnd I hear you, Logan and I stay in our jammies whenever we are home. I'm sure the tiredness goes away, I just want to know when.
i haven't hit the no-makeup-going-out stage, but I'm close. i do stay in my pj's for days at a time if i'm not going anywhere. it's just too hard to get dressed & do makeup with a baby wanting 150 percent of your attention.
