Stage 2: depths of despair

I came across this hilarious article while crying and googling “I hate the newborn phase” 😭 I would recommend it for a good laugh while crying. And if you google “I hate the newborn phase,” plenty of posts come up making you feel less alone in your mom guilt that you “should” be enjoying this “special” time. I’m currently in stage 2, baby boy is 7 weeks, and hoping to all hopes that we begin our uphill battle soon! I hate the newborn phase. I don’t miss it with my daughter. I like bigger babies and kids and even toddlers are better than newborns in my opinion—they’re tough, but funny as hell! Please don’t tell me to “enjoy it!”I didn’t with #1 and I don’t with #2. Lol I envy all of the moms that truly enjoy this and have an easy baby! I don’t care if I regret it later (I don’t think I will!), this shit is rough and it sucks. At least I know that it does gets better, but it doesn’t make it any easier!! Here are some screen shots that made me laugh.

This was me during those first two weeks and then by week 3, it all fell apart and I’m still picking up the pieces...👇🏼

My poor toddler 😭
