Today was one of those DAYS!
Today was one of those days that I felt defeated before I got out of bed. I was up most of the night with the baby and I was exhausted before the day even started. I had a 3 1/2 yr old feet in my back at 5 AM. I wanted to lay in bed holding my children and cry. I know this doesn't sound normal but that is what I needed to do. I felt overwhelmed and defeated before I got up. I am not a negative person normally but today I wanted to be.
Some things that made me feel defeated today............................
I just had a baby 2 1/2 weeks ago and I have nothing to wear.
I did not get a shower yesterday.
Logan wanted mommy but I was feeding the baby again.
The dishes were not done from the night before.
The laundry had not been changed over from the night before.
I have not had a normal conversation with my husband since we got home from the hospital.
Lucas is waking up every 2 hours to breastfeed at night.
My maternity leave is going by so fast.
I have not returned phone calls or emails yet.
I have no energy............. AND I am sure the list could go on and on....
So today I had myself not 1 but 2 good cries. Did it make me feel better? I am not sure but I like to think so.

been there - and I know it doesn't feel like it - but it gets better, I promise!
I had several days like that... I think it is normal. It's a huge adjustment from 1 to 2 and the daddies leave for work and sleep through the night, while the mommies make all the changes. And the laundry and dishes will all come in time... it took me forever to get adjusted. Hang in there girlie!
Have you read any books about breast feeding and night time feeding and cluster feeds and dream feeds? It helped me A LOT. Look up "Baby Whisperer" on amazon, or online, because its got great info.
