You should ask yourself what you’d like your life to look like when you’re 60, 70, 80. Everyone gets caught up in the baby small kid phase. It IS depressing, stressful, tiring (so tired) but also the greatest amount of joy and happiness you will ever feel. You’ll regret it and then you won’t. You’ll want them to live at daycare and then you’ll be ready to pick them up 3 hours later. The small kid phase passes and you’ll be glad that you suffered through to get to where you’re going. Do it.

No feeling is final. Take care of yourself in small ways- a fresh pair of sweatpants, a walk to the mailbox, a coffee in bed. And know know know that you are not alone, everyone goes through this and has their own struggles. Those pretty babes on insta with their quiet suckling baby also deal with poop up the back and mastitis. It all gets better.
