Tips

Barring the Outside World

Icon_tip_5

One of the hardest things to do as a new mom is to truly create the space for your new family to get to know each other. It’s common that family and friends will barge in with their excitement about the new baby. Life circumstances can also make it seem impossible to just focus on your transition. This is not the time to be the gracious hostess or the competent cook, cleaner, thank you note writer and certainly not the responsible employee or business owner. You have a very limited job in these first weeks—it is to sleep, eat, drink water, feed your baby and go to the bathroom and keep yourself clean. That’s it!

Here are some ways to begin creating a space for your family:

  • Record a new message on your voice mail or send an email telling your family and friends the baby’s name, birth date and stats along with the fact that you won’t be returning calls or emails for several weeks.
  • Ask your husband, partner or a trusted family member to be the gatekeeper. They need to say “no” to or limit lengthy visits and say “yes” to cleaning, laundry and cooking support.
  • Make a conscious commitment to how many days/weeks you’re taking for just nesting with your new family. Block off the time on your calendar—don’t “get back to normal” before that date.

My husband seek for divorce with no reasons for almost 4 years and i tried all i could to have him back cos i really love him so much but all my effort didn't work out, we met at our early age in college and we both have feelings for each other and we got married happily for 5 years with no kid and he woke up one morning and he told me he’s going on a divorce, i thought it was a joke and when he came back from work he tender to me a divorce letter and he packed all his belonging from my house and left. i was devastated and i tried all i could to have him back but all did not work. I was lonely for almost 4 years, So i contacted a man who says he is a spell caster and i told the spell caster what happened he said he will help me and he asked for his full name and his picture. I gave him that. At first i was skeptical but i gave it a try cos i have tried so many spell casters and there is no solution, so when he finished with the readings, he got back to me that he’s with a woman and that woman is the reason why he left me, The spell caster said he will help me with a spell that will surely bring him back, but i never believe all this he told me i will see a positive result within 3 days. 3 days later, he called me himself and came to me apologizing and he told me he will come back home. I can't believe this, it was like a dream cos i never believe this will work out after trying many spell casters and there is no solution. The spell caster is so powerful and after that he helped me with a pregnancy spell and i got pregnant a month later, we are now happy been together again and with lovely kid. This spell caster has really changed my life and i will forever thankful to him, he has helped many of my friends too with similar problem and they are happy and thankful to him. This man is indeed the most powerful spell caster i have ever experienced in life. Am Posting this to the Forum in case there is anyone who has similar problem and still looking for a way out. you can reach him here: website Link EMAIL: marvelspelltemple@gmail.com or on +2348071660388
