Anyone else?

Okay so I LOVE my baby more than anything. I didn’t know it was possible to love anyone that much. And, I enjoy spending time with him. But, oh my goodness having a newborn is still ROUGH. I’m definitely a workaholic normally and I’m super active. So, right now I’m on leave and by myself with baby from 5am-midnight MWF and during the day Sat/Sun. Also, I had an emergency c-section, so my physical recovery is longer than anticipated, which means I can’t do most of the things that keep me happy and sane. I’m so exhausted from the 3 hour crying fits, not sleeping, spending all day at home with no interaction or sunshine or physical activity. I hear baby screaming in my mind at this point from the fits. All I see from my mommy friends is how great everything is and it seems like everyone acts like having their baby is all rainbows and sunshine. I’m so so glad he’s here and healthy, but I am so tired/lonely and I don’t understand how so many people make it look so easy. Is it just me? How do all the super peppy/put together new moms do it?
