What a difference

I really wish there had been a person blogging about the first month after Sammy was born. Just so that other first time mommies could see that they aren't alone.

If I had been able to blog in that first month of Sammy's life I would have had bogs that talked about being awake All. Night. Long. I'd have had frustrations about not being able to put him down without him crying. Failures in breast feeding. WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING?!?!?

I remember asking Jesse (my husband) "who's bright idea was it to let us bring this child home??" I had no clue sometimes. I literally changed my first diaper (yes that's EVER) in the hospital with Sammy. It was Jesse's first as well. My mom just sat back and watched us get poop everywhere and then get peed on. We learned a lot during that first diaper change. And I mentally thank her for letting us learn on our own. Then offering tips afterward.

So I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you are a new mom or an already mom with a new baby, it's ok to feel overwhelmed. There is always help, just ask. It's ok to cry as loud if not louder than your baby. Take advantage of advice from mommies. Also take that advice and make it work for you.

We all have to start somewhere and we always have room to learn more.
