On December 22, 2016 my gf and I welcomed into this world a blessing that has changed our lives in a positive way. Since that moment our new role as parents has opened up our eyes to how much beauty there is to life in the small things we take for granted as adults.
We read stories about the baby blues, depression, postpartum psychosis, and other emotions parents go through but luckily, so far, it has been a smooth ride. We’re definitely not getting much sleep right now (as the baby is only 1 mo. 3 wks old) but we’ve adjusted to taking naps when we can.
Anyone else a new parent or have any stories they would like to share about their experiences with having a newborn at home? I know if we didn’t have the support of our close family and friends we probably wouldn’t have our sanity in place. They have been 110% supportive.
You no longer have a life. Congrats.
In three years time, you will no longer remember what it was like to NOT have a child.
And as you already know.... it's amazing... and maddening... and crazy... and beautiful.
