I wish I had a doula with my son (now 3). Were expecting twins in a few weeks, and it is important to remind yourself that you’re allowed to have grace. Nursing was so tough – partly b/c of the pressure of what should be done. Birthing was extremely challenging, and yet all the attention is on the baby, and not on you. And alone – life saver! Congrats on being a new mama.

I just hit the one year mark with our baby girl in June… and OMG the 0-3 month phase girl- I’m with ya!!!! People who would say ANYTHING about how I’d miss those days couldn’t have been more wrong. New born stage was not for me (like you said may not be for everyone). They days felt so so so long and their opinions were not helpful in the least and made me feel like an awful mother (just what every new mom needs)!
Thanks for the honesty and real-ness. I can tell you from having a fussy baby who seemed to have tummy upset often and tons of crying/ screaming episodes – suddenly at 3 months is like a switch went off and she was a different baby. It slowly got so much better. Then 6 months happened and life changed. She was a little person with personality and it was the best. Each week and month after that gets 100000x better. I hope the same is true for you! Seems like you’re doing great adjusting, have fun visiting family and friends in Calgary!

As soon Ava was sleeping through the night and we put her to bed at 7-8pm things got SO MUCH BETTER. We don’t go out a ton but we spend time at home watching a movie or TV or just spending time together. We are trying to get into the habit of crushing whatever task we have to do for the night as soon as she goes to bed and then we have time until our bedtime to spend together. It made a huge difference vs when the whole family was going to bed at the same time. You’ll get there. <3
