I love my son, he is my 1st at the age of 29: it's so exciting to see him go through the changes so fast. I can't believe that it's two months already(how times fly) and he laughing, grabbing, talks to me, and it's amazing that I know what type of personality he have. My baby is my lil angle and Prince, somtimes my fiance gets alittle sad because i'm so focused on my son Caleb, and I noticed that I don't even give my self the attention that I need. I used to keep myself up, like get my hair done, manicure and pedicure shopping for shoes and clothes (my favorite store is JCPenney and Old Navy), it's to the point where I'm struggling to fit my size 4/5 size clothes. I start work next week and no nice work clothes to wear, that's because i lost focus and waited to late to go shpping.

I think that it is wonderful that you love your son so much!
But please, take time for yourself and your fiance. I was 23 when my first child ( a girl) was born. I use to do everything for her. I never shopped for myself, I rarely took time to do anything for myself. I always put her first by buying her things instead of buying something for me. My mother warned me that it was a mistake to do this because my daughter would come to expect this from me as she grew older. I didn't listen to my mother and it turns out she was right. Now my (now 15 year old daughter) gets upset if I spend money on myself, gets a manicure for myself, even if a take a hour and a half to go to the gym for myself. She gets jealous of anything I get. My husband and I just had our anniversary and she became very angry at me when he walked in the door with a gift and card for me and said "happy anniversary" to me.
So, although you love your son so very much, please don't leave yourself out or your fiance out. You MUST take the time to do things for yourself because if not, in the future, it could possibly back fire on you.
God Bless and Best wishes...

That's what happens when you have a kid. Before my son i was a girlie girl. Always had to look good and all that stuff. But know my son is my world. Remember you child didn't ask to be here it was your choice. So they will always come first. But to try and treat yourself to some Mommy time.
