Reminding myself (& any other post partum mamas) to soak it all in, this season passes way too quickly. & although the anxiety is high, the sleep is little, the house is a wreck, my body is different & hormones are crazy… It’s such a blessing to be where I am. To hear those cries day and night, to be the one person she clings to. Eventually I’ll be able to shower without hearing her cries, and I’ll feel like ME again. One day I’ll wake up and everything will be “normal”…..but for now, I’ll be here. Watching her grow, the little faces she makes, reading into hunger cues vs tummy ache ones, smelling that new baby smell every chance I get. Tired, slightly overwhelmed but above all, thankful.
