Things no one tells you

Even if you’re a first time mom or a mom of many a newborn baby can always be a lot to take in. It’s been six years since I’ve had a baby and believe me I feel like I forgot almost everything. Like when you breastfeed and then go out to the store for a grocery run and come back home and you feel like you haven’t slept in a week. Or throughout the day your milk starts filling up and it feels like pins and needles in your breast.

I know with me, I’m so beyond happy I am able to breastfeed but in the middle of the night you wake up, change the diaper then go to feeding your baby and you’re so exhausted that you start to fall asleep or you do end up falling asleep and wake up feeling like the worst mom because you can’t stay awake and then you see that sweet baby sleeping so good right on your boob even though they shouldn’t sleep like that you can’t keep your eyes open so you sleep together.

People tell you throughout the pregnancy, oh you better get sleep now because you’re never going to sleep again, and they are almost right. Because even though they say sleep when the baby sleeps you can’t always do that, especially when you have other kids or that you just want to feel like a regular human instead of a walking, talking bottle so you take that time to do some laundry or eat something finally.

So even though you’re completely exhausted, running on fumes, feeling like your baby never stops eating, it’s the most amazing experience to go through...because now here I am with my 3rd baby going through all this but looking at my 9 and 6 year old girls wondering where in the world did the time go. I love being a mom of three girls even though I feel like a zombie 6 days out of 7 but everyday is worth it.

Thank you to the ones who read I just felt like getting this out there.
