Note to new mothers: Dive in and stay!
Motherhood is not always glorious and glamorous. Not many people say it out loud, about the time they begged their child to sleep, about the time they struggle to open their eyes when their baby cries for milk. Did they tell you how many times they had to reheat their morning coffee? Did they tell you that showers take less than 5 minutes on good days? Did they tell you that sometimes lunchtime can stretch to tea time?
You can't just quit and retreat to the wilderness. You dive in, and you STAY. "Get as much help as you can,". But most of the time, you find yourself alone. Sometimes you'll be breathless, and sometimes these tiny humans swept you off your feet. Sometimes your face sank onto your palms in despair, and sometimes they make up for all the troubles they created and run to you for hugs.
All I can say is, it will be worthwhile. Till then gather all your strength, it's going to be a helluva ride
