This will be my second baby, and we thrilled! However, I hated the newborn stage with my first. I loved him with all my heart and still do. I do it all over again, but I was miserable. Nobody ever told me how hard it was going to be. I have soooo much experience with children, babies included, and I literally thought it would be a breeze...

I was wrong! The staying up until 3/4 in the morning with a baby that won’t be put down. Literally getting 3-4 hours a sleep a night if We were lucky. The witching hours...ugh I’m panicking thinking about it already! And I will have a 21m old on top of it.

We follow safe sleep (not knocking you if you don’t - every mama does things that’s right for their family), so the fact that someone always had to hold babe because he wouldn’t be put down, it seriously making me dread it already. I’m so unbelievably thankful and excited to have another baby, but those first 3 months were BRUTAL with my first! It’s so worth it, but it is soooo hard!
