Mom-ing is hard!
A little backstory: Im married and just had our rainbow baby 6 almost 7 weeks ago. My heart is so full since he’s arrived and I love him so god damn much!
My husband works out of town during the week and I’m mostly a stay at home mom, so I pretty much take care of everything at home including house chores and baby’s needs, etc.
This week I have been feeling super overwhelmed. I started my first period since being pregnant and I can honestly say that it SUCKS DICK! Everyone’s body is different, I get that, but after constantly and heavily bleeding for 5 straight weeks I’d like to think that my body would give me a break but hell no!
This is the worst and bloodiest period I have ever experienced! I’m going though laundry like a fucking maniac cause i keep bleeding through everything! I’m pretty positive I’m guna need a blood transfusion after this whole ordeal is done!
On top of starting my period, my son has been constipated for the last 4 days! We’ve tried switching formulas, bicycle legs, tummy massage, karo syrup, gas drops, gripe water, rectal thermometer, the q-tip trick, warm bath, doctor recommended milk of mag, tried prune juice, but apparently my kid just refuses to poop. So we finally had to use a suppository and it worked but now he’s got a belly ache and just cries around the clock.
So here I am, 1:30 am, running on 2 hours of sleep, rocking my son with my foot, because I’m so exhausted and don’t want to get out of bed. Tried putting him to sleep after trying other options for several hours while my loving husband snores and sleep talks next to me...I’m exhausted, I’m frustrated, I’m overwhelmed, but I wouldn’t change it for the world! He is the greatest blessing I could have ever asked for! So I’m guna rock him and cuddle with him and love on him. I might not do everything right but I always try my hardest to do right by him.
so shout out to all the moms who are struggling and who think their failing because your not! You are the best mother that baby could ever ask for! And in all reality, mom-ing is just fucking hard...but the best thing that will ever happen to us!
Now here’s a few pics of my lil man cause I
