I wish I had more help today in feeding the baby while I finish washing her bottles so I didn’t have to do that during midnight.

I wish I can be seen, be heard, be understood… and honestly only the moms who have gone through this will understand… I wish people understood how much I felt I failed my babygirl for giving her some of my biological faults like Microtia, and anemia, that I put so much effort in pumping so she could at least get breastmilk… I wish people understood I don’t get up in the middle of the night trying to place my pumps on JUST right with my iPhone light for nipple placement, JUST to check off that I did my MOTN pump but I do it cause that’s when I get the MOST milk of the day. I wish people understood that even with the lack of sleep, I will still show up not only for my baby, but for my other two much older kids, even if it means me pumping WHILE making breakfast and getting their lunchboxes ready. I wish I could get a day where the mental load wasn’t always on go mode. Despite all this, I wish and hope that if there is another mom who in the thick of post partum phase knows it does get better, these days feel long but they go so fast. Enjoy the little toes, the little coos, the loud cries, the sleepless nights, the middle of night cries, the when will this ever get easier nights, the contact naps where you can’t do anything in the house… because the time will pass by, and soon you’ll be like me with a 10 year old and a newborn, realizing that this time is so precious, they are only this small for such a short period of time… it does get better.

If I could have one wish it would be that my boys grow up with the life they deserve and don’t have to do any healing from the damaged parts of me. Still working on healing childhood trauma and praying it doesn’t negatively affect them, inadvertently of course. Also would appreciate it if my baby boy that will be here today isn’t colicky like my first! Pic is of the first of my stash I hand expressed today

The time is so precious! Praying for you to feel seen, heard and understood!
Wishing for help for you! Washing bottles is a chore, especially the dr browns ones with all the parts!
Day 2: Today my wish revolves around my newborn. I had him yesterday afternoon. We were planning to go home today but things changed. He got an ECHO today and has a PDA and a “good sized” VSD so we are waiting for the opinion of the cardiology team. So my wish is that it all closes on its own and we avoid open heart surgery and/or any complications!

Hope your day got better and that tomorrow is a great day for you!
I wish I had more time to spend with my son! Working full time can feel like a drain. I hope this summer brings me more time and relaxation to be present.

I definitely can relate with you there. It always seems like my sink is full of baby bottle parts.
