It finally happened

I didnt think it was possible. I thought i was done. The newborn phase was so terrible, i found everyone with multiple children CRAZY. How could you want MORE?! This one takes up ALL MY TIME! A few months ago I was barely running on 5 hr of sleep, forgot to shower or brush my teeth most days and had sore af breasts. If you were to tell my then sleep deprived, messy haired self that I’ll have more kids in future..i would have torn off my breast milk stained shirt and ran out into the woods. Babies are a handful. And i was inexperienced. And my husband took his sweet time warming up to the baby and picking up daddy duties. I was EBFing, diaper changing, bathing, burping, rocking the baby 24/7 and honestly didn’t know how to ask for help. It was hard. It even felt like our marriage was failing at one point.But its in the past. My LO turns a year old in a few weeks. And we both love her to death. Yesterday, i felt like i really wanted her to experience childhood with a sibling. I think im ready , somewhat experienced, have more support than i did before and most importantly…am no longer afraid.So to all FTM who are going through a tough time rn and feel like they can’t deal with more children….it will get better. And before you realise it, you’ll be ready. ❤ via /r/NewParents https://ift.tt/WVYXRPL
