I originally wanted two but after a lot of pregnancy complications (severe nausea, si joint disfunction, high risk uterine malformation, antenatal anxiety and depression that made me suicidal), then a csection, pre eclampsia, severe postpartum depression, postpartum insomnia (still after 11 weeks) and a colic newborn that spent 5 days in the nicu, cried 9 hours a day and slept in only 30 min increments for 9 weeks, I'm spent. Not to mention very little family help because of covid. At 34 I'm just too old for this shit haha. I simply cannot and will not have another.
She's smiling and super cute and I totally love her, but she still wakes up every 30 min some nights. Good nights she sleeps 2 hour chunks but that's really rare. I haven't slept in the same room as my husband in 10 weeks because we split the night into shifts so we don't go fuckin crazy from sleep deprivation.
I'm lucky I'm a stay at home mom now. I got a needy one! She cannot sleep anywhere other than on my lap during the day or in her bouncer at night. This shits hard but I think I got dealt a situation that's rougher than the average.
I've been through it with mine and my wife and I are a one child household (also for medical reasons.)
This is a tough stage but it will be over soon enough and you will miss her being a baby. I know it's so hard to see that because it's so difficult now but I was there so I won't sugarcoat it. The first year almost broke my wife and I. Delight in your child and please take time for yourself and your husband if at all possible.
I said a prayer for you before posting this. God be with you! These are difficult times but God is bigger than all of it.
Thank you so much! I really am content with her and enjoy her now even with the bad sleep. Because we split the night (8pm to 2am to 8am) I don't feel horrible. She's a joy during the day now and is so happy and cute. ❤️
Liberals hate kids and don't have many of them if they do.
Maga pedes need to have many Maga baby pedes.
This is how we win in the long term
