Today, I wish I had just a little more time to rest
Being a mom means always being “on,” even when I’m exhausted. Between pumping, cleaning, and caring for my baby, some days feel nonstop. I love my baby more than anything, but I’d be lying if I said I don’t get overwhelmed sometimes.
Lately, nighttime pumping has been especially hard. Waking up tired and doing it all over again takes a lot out of me. I wish I had something to make those late nights easier and give me a little comfort during those quiet moments. And having a breast pump that I have to connect to a wall is so hard for me. especially when I have to get things done when I’m connected to a wall port. But I’m blessed to at least be able to pump and make what I need for my baby boy.
To all the moms out there feeling the same — you’re not alone
Mom life is hard I’m glad we have a Momcozy community we can talk about it and lift each other up because we understand the struggles and I wish for you that you get a wearable pump it makes like so much easier to be able to pump and take care of chores.
Yes, I’ll hopefully be getting one soon. It really makes such a huge difference.
My insurance pump stopped working it was a wearable one and when I returned it, they told me I’d have to pay for it, even though I only had it for three months. I’ve been going back and forth with them about it.
In the meantime, I had to go to the county to get a loaner pump, which I’m really thankful for since it’s hospital grade. The only downside is that it’s not wearable and makes my life more challenging.
I feel ya! I’m so exhausted from our busy, sleepless nights. Today I just laid on my daughter’s playmat in a pile of her stuffed animals while she played. I couldn’t even find the energy to get up and make tea for an hour lol
Lol, but it’s all worth it taking in every moment you have with them. Life is so short, and they grow up so fast. Even when you’re exhausted, it doesn’t matter where you rest or how comfortable you are just being there with them means everything. If only we had someone to always make us a cup of tea or coffee on the daily would be magical.
Thank you for your kind words they truly mean a lot to me. Being part of this community helps me feel so much better especially knowing so many of us are going through similar struggles and need those reminders that we’re not alone. It will be okay, and I know it will all be worth it in the end.
