      Welcome to the ranks of parenthood. That first period feels daunting but babies just need to eat and sleep at that age. I used a stopwatch app on my phone to track feeding times so I knew when my boys would be hungry or wake up, but I had twins so it was quite full on

      Congratulations! Welcome! That first week can be scary, I remember thinking “they just let us go home with her?” Having kids will easily be the most challenging thing you’ll do for a long time. How are you holding up?

        my sleep is fucked, but otherwise i really really really love being a mom. i am just swelling full of so much love and an overwhelming urge to care for and protect my silly little crying ball of joy. i had no idea it would feel like this before she was born but now that she’s here it’s like my brain and heart have been completely rewired
