1st day home

Niqi • Mom of 4

So my first day home was starting off good and everything was going smoothly. Until my husband had got in the shower and I was left with newborn baby and toddler in the room. I was feeding baby and toddler was watching videos on his iPad. All of a sudden the sh** hits the fan. The baby begins to cry basically screaming and then my toddler got freaked out and began to cry. It was the most traumatic experience I had been through as a mom because my other children are 5 years apart so pretty much at an age where crying might not cause a chain reaction. I broke down like wtf is this and how do I fix it. I didn’t know who to soothe first. So naturally I began to cry because I’m like what am I going to do when my husband is at WORK and not just in the next room in the shower? I didn’t expect this and this is something that’s not talked about. It was just so overwhelming and it made me second guess my ability to cope with having a baby and a toddler. Motherhood is no joke. Don’t get me wrong, I love it because it definitely has it’s rewards but my God nobody talks about the bad days 😬😥
