Believe everyone when they say the baby days zoom past, and allow yourself more time than you think to recuperate and enjoy staring into her eyes. Time spent watching a baby sleep is never wasted.

The best piece of advice I had was from my midwife, who said that I should think of the first three months as the fourth trimester – the little one is no less dependent on you than she was in the womb. (Nursing is so a full time job.) Not that that’s comforting in the middle of the night…

The other stuff will come back, but maybe not in the same way/amount as before. And the motherhood thing really does get better and better, so you won’t mind so much. Promise.

She is so beautiful! You will have a new rhythm to your lives from now on. It will take a bit to get into the groove.
Be easy on yourself.
Take care

Enjoy.. Its all good in the math homework.. And the sleep and the knitting WILL come back I promise. One day she will be playing on the floor content and you will pick up a project and think HUH,,,here we are! Enjoy and you are doing great.

When I was a new mom and added up the hours David was attached to me feeding the requisite burp cuddle time…it’s MORE than a full time job.

They do grow up fast so enjoy this stage while you can. Every stage is awesome. Motherhood just keeps getting better and better. (That is supposed to be an encouraging statement, so I hope it came off as that.)
