I know this will sound ridiculous to some.

My last two babies were early summer babies and it was so wonderful. It was easy to hang out outside while the big kids got their energy out and I watched in the shade with my newborn. Summers are gorgeous here. They make me so happy and it’s such a time I look forward to. I loved the season for babies especially- lounging around half dressed made breastfeeding easy and convenient, not having to worry about dressing baby indoors, lots of outdoor things to go out and do if I got stir crazy, etc. If the big kids want to go outside, no problem that my hands are full, just run out there!

I just tested positive and this baby would be due early December and I’m finding myself so sad. I hate winters. I moved from sunny south Florida to a place with long grey winters and always get depressed. We have an old farmhouse that doesn’t stay as warm as I want it to and nursing through multiple layers of clothes is my least favorite. I hate having to bundle everyone up to go outside and hate being cold. There’s hardly anywhere to go and anywhere indoors is germ infested and probably not the greatest place for a newborn. I feel like I’m going to be holed up in my cold house so depressed. Winters are tough for me in general but throw a newborn in and I feel like it magnifies.

I guess I’m looking for people to tell me the best things about a winter newborn :/
