You could cut a white shower curtain liner to fit your window, fit it with grommets, and hang it from a tension rod in your window.
Or you could get those stained-glass window stickies, or buy a sheet of that patterned/etched plastic and install it on your window. People can't see through that stuff.
And I wouldn't recommend doing a cloth shower curtain without a liner-- we tried it, and while we didn't have a problem with mold, the curtain did get hard water stains and water got all over the floor every time we showered.

One of the bits of advice I ever read was in a magazine article that said, realize that for the first two months of your baby's life you are The Mother. (In my case it was closer to four months.) You will not be able to learn a new language, repaint the kitchen or play your classical piano. You are The Mother, accept it, deal with it, be The Mother. It also went on to give the comfort that all - or at least most - of what you were before your baby will come back to you and be integrated with your new identity as a mother.
I agree with Slinkster -- my children are the center of my heart. My life before them seems to be in shadows when now life is as rich and vibrant as a stained glass window. They gave me purpose and grounding, a focus and someone to be worthy of. I am a much better EVERYTHING than I was before them.
