I love my kids. I would also love 30 uninterrupted minutes of peace and quiet (sleep doesn’t count, though I could use more of that too). 😩

This is the part 2 - now I’m doing what NOT to say to a postpartum mama. Even when people mean well, these really grind my gears!

Hot take: if you make it through those 12 weeks, you can survive literally anything else life throws at you. And no, it’s not the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but it is the craziest.

You cry sometimes for no reason. The baby cries sometimes for no reason. Occasionally you’re both crying at the same time and neither of you can explain why.

Nobody hands you a manual. You just figure it out one exhausted day at a time. Everything you’re doing is new! It’s the first time you’ve ever done that thing!

Cut yourself a break!!

Meanwhile everyone else’s life keeps moving. You start to wonder if you’ll ever feel like a normal person again.

Hot take: when people tell you to cherish every moment, you’re allowed to just stare at them in disdain. Another hot take? They’re right. 😭

But here’s the good part. Around 3 months, it shifts. Your body starts to feel a *little* more like yours. The baby smiles at you on purpose, and it’s the most magical, warm snuggly feeling.

You start trusting yourself more. It stops feeling like survival mode every single second. You realize that things will change and new challenges will arise, but you can do it!

You’re a majestic portal of souls! You’re a mom!

When your toddler drags you across the house for the fourth time to show you the same rock, toy, spot on the wall, just give in. And act surprised when they show you again in 10 minutes.
