I hope it does help. Sometime just getting it all out there can really help, even if it doesn't change anything. That was why i started this thread. I just needed to let it out!

It is so hard! Sometime I have to remind myself that I do have the right to rest! It isn't me being whimiscal, it is a basic human need and it is ok!


Something that helped a little when my second was a newborn was remembering that he had his brother's attention. His brother had never had that. He also had more of his father's attention. It was of necessity but it was still beneficial.

I also learned to make the most of the tiny slivers of time that came along. Every little sliver I had where I just had one. Savor it, and I truly believe they somehow know that. Hang in there, it is a hard time, but it does get better.

(Please email to me in say four months time, when my next baby arrives, lol!)
