I’m reading this holding my 7 week old and listening to my 3 year old play downstairs. This baby has been much tougher than my first and just in the past 2 weeks or so, I’ve been really struggling, even with lots of help and support. Reading all of this has been really helpful. I’d just add that “this too shall pass” has been both helpful to know this time and sometimes not helpful at all. It can feel like that means “this will get better soon, so cheer up.” As of this morning, I’m reframing this to: endure. The sleep deprivation is the hardest thing for me but I can endure it while it lasts. Thank you to everyone for the reminder that not cherishing this part is guilt to just let go of.
