While becoming a mother to my baby boy has been awesome and I love him more than anything this has been one of the most exhausting and at times emotionally trying time of my life. I wouldnt change a thing but people who forget what it is like to have a newborn make me feel like it should constantly be rainbows and unicorns. Meanwhile I get excited if I shower every OTHER day. Im well aware I look tired. No, I am not ready to switch to formula, I will continue to breastfeed. Im sorry I dont feel like driving 40 min to introduce you to my child. For the first yime in my life iI an considering a face tatt that says "mind ya damn business".
Yes, yes, yes! This has particularly been on my mind after having to see all our family the last two days. Or when my pregnant BIL & SIL didn't seem to appreciate me saying what it's really like having a newborn baby. I wish someone had been frank about how it isn't lollipops and gum drops.
It's nice that people care and want to see the baby but when my family or friends ask "what's it like having a newborn baby" all I think is UGH UGH UGH how do I put it in terms you'd understand, do you have an hour?
Haven't had a chance to click the link but I constantly remind people when they ask how I'm doing that I'm sleep deprived and feel like a zombie that has been kick boxed in the abdomen, hemorrhaging blood and leaking milk!
I had someone tell me to stock up on reading material because you'll be so bored in the middle of the night.. No I'm not bored, I'm trying to stay awake in the middle of the night. If I tried to read I don't think I would comprehend a thing lol

This! DH's family lives 3 hours away, and they're all currently pissed off at us that we didn't bring the babies out there for Christmas. Side note - not one of them offered to come here instead.
As fun as being stuck in the car for 3 hours (each way) w/ 7 week old twins sounds... Not happening. Sorry not sorry.
Love this! I love my little girl but sometimes she just acts like a little a-hole. I hate when I say that she is and they are all like "no she couldn't be" I want to tell then to then come over and wake up with her at night then and try to calm her when can't get that burp out that is making her so uncomfortable
