I see many moms out there feel how I felt with my first child, does this ever get better? It does and that is why I cannot wait until my Daughter is 3 months. It felt like time flew by at first, but now I'm at a stand still

Don't get me wrong, I like the newborn phase, but it's not love.

With my first I liked it because when he did sleep, which was rare, but I got to sit there and hold him interrupted. I was able to sleep, clean, or have me time. (Let's be honest, it's one or the other)

With my second I feel bad. All she did was sleep, so all she did was lay in her bassinet so I could play with my son, who prefers to be too active for babywearing.

At first it was amazing, they had the same nap in the afternoon. Nowadays, not so much and he will not leave my side to go to grandmas anymore.

We try tummy time, and my son tried to keep her distracted with his cars, it works but not for long.

The leap was right, at 6 weeks I could see the intestinal change by her poop and gas. No longer frequent and peachy smelly, she is every 3 days and rotten.

I had retained Placenta a bit bigger than a golf ball stuck to my uterus for 6 weeks, and only found out when I started pouring out blood at home last monday. I ended up being rushed away, put on antibiotics through IV for a day and then having a D&C which makes it that much harder to keep up with my toddler because I am so scared of not healing now.

So here is to where she can finally interact with her brother, sit in a highchair in the kitchen and watch, and keep herself distracted. It does get better 🍻
