An open letter to a first time mom’s husband

Please still be flirty with me.

I know I don’t feel as sexy as I once did, but that doesn’t mean it’s anything against you.

Please be patient when I ask you a million times how our baby is while you are watching them while I shower.

I carried them in my body for nine months and I wasn’t ready for them to leave.

Please be understanding when I am frustrated.

It’s just, staying at home with the baby is hard and I’m still learning every day.

Please help me when I obviously need help but I’m not willing to admit it.

I feel like if I ask for help, I’m failing at this whole mom thing and that’s my worst fear.

Please let me take time for myself when it seems like I’m losing my mind.

While I don’t want to be away from our baby, I need moments for myself. Whether that just be to poop, or if I need a glass of wine and a bubble bath.

Please don’t undermine my day because I’m not “working”.

Our child is my job now and that’s never ending.

Please don’t try to fix things when I’m upset about not having slept.

I’m just tired. I want to be the one up with our child. They need me.

Please never stop loving us as unconditionally as you do

❤️
