Sometimes I find myself quietly staring at baby and my Husband and wonder, "what have I done with my life". I used to be so care free, my own person, so in love with life. Now, I have been reduced to a care taker. Not a life I ever imagined for myself. Is it normal to feel this way?

Yup, you think you only have 1 kid but you actually got 2 (includes the man child). Completely normal. I had these thoughts and made me stressed that I wasn't my own person even when people called me mummy instead of my name affected me. When I placed my baby in infantcare and took some much needed me time, I realized I didn't mind being a caregiver because this was a extension of myself and not have I been reduced to. Sometimes we become too focused on being mummies that we forget that we also had a life outside of being a mummy, a wife, a partner, a friend, a colleague and a daughter. As the old saying goes, this too shall pass
