I'm a first time mama, 6 months in and I couldn't possibly be any more in love with my daughter. She is amazing. I will be honest days like today, where I am literally exhausted to the core, there is nothing left, I have depleted the reserves and my baby girl is finally down for bed.

I have had PPD and for the most part I am very fortunate to not feel down super often for more than maybe a couple hours at a time. I have suffered with anxiety most of my life and i have found ways to cope that have really helped me. But there are some days when that anxiety and energy suck of PPD comes and knocks me on my butt.

Days like today, I lay in bed wondering if I am doing this right? Am I doing everything I should be? Am I ever going to stop feeling the new mom anxiety?

I have to try to remember, as a mom there is no manual, no 'right' way, there is just your best. Even on the days when I have nothing left, as long as I have a healthy happy(mostly) baby I will know I have done my best. So for now I am going to relax and enjoy a few hours of hopefully peaceful sleep 🤞🤞 and I hope all of the rest of you new mamas are able to take a little something from this too. We are all just doing our best, and our best is good enough❤
